Assistant Director of Career Services

Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ) — a world-renowned education and poverty-fighting organization based in New York — seeks an enthusiastic, dedicated, and mission-aligned Assistant Director of Career Services to join our Wealth Builds team.

The Assistant Director will bring a passion for Harlem Children's Zone's mission: breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty through comprehensive, on-the-ground programming that builds opportunities for children and families to thrive in school, work, and life.

Wealth Builds is an innovative effort to eliminate the wealth gap through nine evidence-based pillars beginning in Harlem and ultimately expanding to up to 10 cities nationwide. Our theory of action is that cradle-to-career services plus capital lead to social and economic mobility. Through Wealth Builds, we are providing financial education and capital infusions to increase social, financial, and human capital, ultimately generating wealth for our youth.

We are seeking a highly collaborative, strategic, and detail-oriented Assistant Director to oversee the day-to-day operations of our Career Services Team (CST) and serve as the vital strategic bridge between Career Services and the College Success office. The Assistant Director will supervise our team of Career Specialists and co-manage our comprehensive college internship and placement programs alongside the Career Placement Coordinator.
