About the Role

The Company is seeking a Managing Director for Early Talent Admissions, a strategic and execution-focused leader to drive the design, execution, and continuous improvement of the early talent selection process. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring a smooth early talent applicant experience, from operational systems to decision-making, and will work to align these processes with the company's admissions model. This role requires a deep commitment to fair systems, the ability to manage fast-paced operations with accuracy and efficiency, and a talent for working with diverse stakeholders to establish a shared vision and foster alignment. The Managing Director will also be involved in building the admissions process of the future, contributing to the development of new processes that support innovation and ensure that the selection process reflects the company's values and mission.

Applicants for the Managing Director position should have a proven track record of leading complex projects, managing operations, and making high-quality decisions. The role demands a leader who can seamlessly move between systems-level thinking and on-the-ground execution, and who is adept at refining strategy through action. The ideal candidate will have a background in the company's selection model, with a preference for those who have prior experience as staff, alumni, or former staff. A strong commitment to the company's core values, the ability to lead through ambiguity, and a talent for problem-solving and collaboration are essential. The role is highly cross-functional, requiring close partnership with various teams to ensure that the early talent admissions process is aligned with the company's broader goals and that it effectively identifies future members with the greatest potential for impact.
