The Blackstone LaunchPad is actively seeking prospective candidates for the role of Program Manager. The LaunchPad’s previous Program Manager, Sam Hollander ’21, recently announced that he will be stepping away from the position to pursue an entrepreneurial venture of his own in New York City full-time. The committee will begin reviewing applications the week of August 8, so apply soon if you are interested in this role.

The LaunchPad Program Manager supports the mission of the Blackstone LaunchPad, which is part of SU Libraries. The LaunchPad is Syracuse University’s innovation hub, connecting the entire University’s resource-rich ecosystem with a global network that provides support for aspiring entrepreneurs, innovators, and creators. The position reports to the Executive Director, and supports communications, outreach, events planning and management, as well as other strategic initiatives. This is a highly collaborative role, and the successful candidate will work with LaunchPad staff and academic units across campus to deliver effective programs that support the student experience and Syracuse University’s Academic Strategic Plan to create an innovation ecosystem across the institution that prepares participants to be trailblazers in an entrepreneurial world.

The major position responsibilities include:

The position is posted on the SU JobOpps website. Please help the LaunchPad spread the word of this opening to individuals who would be well-suited for the role, particularly around alumni circles. We want to build on the legacy we all created here — especially the class acts of our previous Program Managers, Sam Hollander, and Nick Barba ’20.
