This full-time position provides strategic oversight for the Phi Beta Kappa Society chapters located on 290+ college and university campuses that induct ~20,000 new members per year. As the primary point of contact for chapter volunteer leaders, the Associate Director is responsible for planning and executing strategies to assist chapter leaders; collaborating on messages that resonate with PBK invitees and inductees; and managing chapter-related administrative and technical responsibilities, including student registration.

The Associate Director also serves as staff support and liaison to Phi Beta Kappa’s Committee on Chapters, which oversees chapter health, and to the Committee on Qualifications, which oversees the new chapter application process.
