About this role

Our College:

Leading at the intersection of people, business, and technology, the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business is one of the most comprehensive business schools in the nation and includes many areas of expertise not found in any other leading institution. The college is comprised of the university's three accredited business schools, each of which is recognized as among the best in higher education: the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration. Our academic research; industry and community engagement; and undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs all reflect the future of business: flexible, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary. The college community includes 232 research faculty, 46,000 alumni, and nearly 3,300 undergraduate, professional, and graduate students. The SC Johnson College of Business has an unparalleled resource base from which to draw-within the college, Cornell Tech in New York City, and Cornell University broadly. Our Team:

The NYC Administration and Operations department at the SC Johnson College of Business is primarily responsible for the management and oversight of the College’s New York City locations, ensuring effective delivery of facilities, administrative support, and operational services that enables seamless programming and align with the College’s academic mission.

This Position:

Working under the direction of the Manager of NYC Administration and Operations, the Coordinator will serve as the sole onsite administrator for office operations, event and academic support, and course scheduling. This role will be primarily based at our Cornell SC Johnson College of Business leased space at 570 Lexington Ave. with shared time at our facilities on the Cornell Tech campus. The position will be a critical liaison with our degree programs, specifically those operating on the weekends. The position will also play a key role in coordinating with our partners, including the ILR NYC Conference Center (The ILR School) at 570 Lexington Avenue and Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island.

The role is responsible for security access, office and room logistics, student services support, and serving as the primary on-site point of contact with limited on-site supervision. The Coordinator must be a strong multitasker, serving as a lead front-facing, service-oriented representative for the space and the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, while meeting the demands of a fast-paced environment where classes, academic programming, and other activities occur daily. The ability to prioritize, coordinate, and handle event logistics, while exercising independent judgment and keeping the Manager of NYC Administration and Operations informed of matters requiring attention, is essential.

The Coordinator will support billing for programs, courses, and events, as well as coordinate NYC-based resources (facilities) necessary for successful execution. This includes working directly with faculty, program teams, and clients on logistics such as AV support, facilities and custodial services, security and building access, and food and beverage needs.

This position is primarily based onsite at 570 Lexington Avenue and follows a standard Monday through Friday schedule. Flexibility is required, as occasional evening and weekend hours may be necessary to support classes, academic programming, and other activities. The coordinator must be comfortable managing space usage and overseeing office operations independently, as there will be times with limited on-site supervision. In addition, this role will serve as a backup to the Manager of NYC Administration and Operations and may occasionally be required to perform duties that fall outside of this description in support of departmental and operational needs.

This position is fully on site.
