• Support participants throughout the program lifecycle, including pre-arrival communication, arrivals, on-site orientation, ongoing wellness check-ins, and extracurricular and cultural activities.
• Organize, coordinate and deliver participant services, including orientations, extracurricular activities and events, and community impact opportunities, while fostering positive group dynamics and an inclusive, respectful environment.
• Assist with incident management, including communication with home universities as needed, and provide local support in handling health, safety, and administrative matters.
• Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation to respond to emergencies and student well-being concerns.

Administrative & Cross-Functional Support

• Oversee administrative aspects of programs related to participants, including visas, program documentation, financial processes and other internal and external requirements, in alignment with organizational standards.
• Collaborate with colleagues across Prague Program Management, Academics, Housing, and Finance & Operations divisions, as well as with CIEE Global teams and other centers.

Other 

• Participate in occasional site visits by CIEE and university personnel, including presentations and evening and weekend activities.

CIEE’s programming, procedures, and annual targets and goals can be expected to evolve over time as the organization pursues its mission, and as best practices evolve. In addition, the circumstances surrounding the delivery of services by CIEE Prague, such as enrollment levels, can be expected to be variable in ways that require the organization to respond and adapt. Given this, staff members are expected to respond flexibly and resiliently to these changing circumstances, learning new skills and information as needed, proposing solutions to emergent issues, and implementing new policies and processes as needed.  

Work Hours and Place of Work 

CIEE programs often involve predictable, scheduled activities, events, and duties such as Arrivals, On-Site Orientations, Activities, Excursions, and Emergency Phone staffing; these may occur outside typical business hours. In addition, occasional unpredictable or emergency tasks will be required as circumstances dictate; these may occur outside of typical business hours and are compensated according to the Czech labor law.

While the place of work is usually the Study Center or outside of it for participant activities and excursions, the Senior Program Manager may assign remote work, usually in the form of work-from-home, from time to time as circumstances warrant.

The successful candidate will:

• Have experience working with international students, preferably U.S. students, and demonstrate patience, understanding, and problem-solving skills in responding to student needs.
• Be able to complete tasks independently, follow up reliably with limited supervision, and work effectively as part of a small team to achieve shared goals.
