The RSM Career Centre is seeking a Career Development Manager for a temporary 9-month assignment to join the BSc/MSc team.

Job description
As a Career Development Manager, you will play a key role in preparing our BSc, MSc and MBA students for their future careers. You will guide them through the journey of discovering and shaping impactful careers. With your experience, you will advise students, present at information sessions and panels, create new opportunities both inside and outside the curriculum, and oversee the Internship Course elective in the students' third year of their bachelor’s program. You will collaborate with Employer Relations Managers, other Career Development Managers, the Office Manager, and Student Assistants to provide comprehensive support for our students.

Your daily activities and responsibilities include:

• Internship Course: You will manage the Internship elective for the third year of our Bachelor's program, organizing and presenting information sessions, handling administrative tasks with the Office Manager, and coordinating the course with the Academic Coordinator.
