Responsibilities will vary but may include development of a project plan and timeline, researching other universities’ approaches to employee engagement (and any related training syllabi and materials), review of existing training resources, development of a training approach and plan, and development of slide decks and/or recordings of trainings on sustainability topics for the university’s staff Learning platform, Workday.
The ideal candidate for this position is a self-starter with the ability to work independently while also providing frequent updates on progress. The ideal candidate is also well-versed in sustainability topics (climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, resource use) and/or engagement strategies (presentations, education, outreach); a clear communicator in English (writing, editing); flexible to take on an evolving project; open to taking direction and collaborating with teams; organized; and attentive to deadlines. Please submit a resume and statement of interest to jen.baldwin@yale.edu.
