Make an impact on the leaders of tomorrow!

Are you a highly organized professional who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys bringing structure, connecting stakeholders, and making things run seamlessly? We are looking for a proactive and engaged Senior Program Coordinator to play a key role in delivering our Impact MBA programs.

About the Impact MBA

The Impact MBA (iMBA) is a leading program where leadership, entrepreneurship, and societal impact take center stage. It is designed for professionals (aged 25–45) with a bachelor’s or master’s degree and 3–10 years of work experience, who aspire to become impactful leaders in a complex, rapidly changing world.

The iMBA offers two formats:

• Executive MBA (24 months)

• Full-time MBA (14 months)

In both formats, participants are challenged to translate complex business and societal challenges into sustainable and responsible solutions. Academic rigor, personal development, and practical application are at the core of the program.

In this role, you will focus on one program variant and contribute directly to a high-quality and impactful learning experience.

You will be part of a close-knit team consisting of a Senior Program Manager, two Senior Program Coordinators, and a Program Coordinator. The Impact MBA is part of the broader MBA cluster, which also includes the Executive Modular MBA.

What will you do?

In this versatile role, you act as the linking pin between organization, content, and delivery:

• You take ownership of the coordination and delivery of your MBA program variant

• You collaborate closely with faculty, colleagues, and internal stakeholders

• You act as the primary point of contact for participants and guide them throughout the program

• You safeguard the quality of modules and actively contribute to an excellent learning experience

• You prepare and follow up on module evaluations together with the Program Manager

• You proactively identify opportunities to improve processes and systems

• You ensure that all materials, schedules, and information are prepared on time

• You handle participant requests, liaising with the Examination Board when needed

• You ensure smooth operations through strong planning, structured administration, and clear processes
