Director

New York University (NYU) invites applications and nominations for the role of director of the NYU School of Professional Studies (NYUSPS) Tokyo. This is an exceptional opportunity for an entrepreneurial and market savvy leader to provide strategic vision and implement the next phase of development for NYUSPS Tokyo. Reporting directly to the dean of NYUSPS, the next director will join NYUSPS Tokyo during an exciting time for impact and will have the opportunity to shape and execute a vision for delivering professional education in the global marketplace.

NYU is the largest private university in the United States and a globally distinguished research university on a remarkable trajectory. NYU’s global network includes degree-granting campuses in New York, Shanghai, and Abu Dhabi, complemented by eleven additional academic centers across five continents. NYUSPS serves the educational needs of those striving to maximize their full personal and professional potential by providing a comprehensive, professional oriented educational experience.

NYU has been developing capacity for delivering the SPS model of education in new global contexts. Having established English-language programs in Tokyo and Shanghai in 2013 and 2015, respectively, NYUSPS recently introduced professional development pilot courses in both locations. Encouraged by the initial market response, NYUSPS Tokyo is now poised to quickly scale programming aimed at equipping students and professionals with the skill sets and competencies demanded by an increasingly global economy. In April 2018, NYUSPS launched the new Global Executive Certificate programs through NYUSPS Tokyo, introducing 13 professional development credentials designed around key industries in Japan.
