Education Consultant

Here's what you'll be doing

As an Education Consultant at Morgens, you’ll take on an independent and responsible role in the change initiatives we support. On a typical workday, for example, you might spend the morning leading a workshop with a colleague on process improvement at a university of applied sciences. In the afternoon, you’ll work on translating a faculty’s strategy into concrete project proposals, and at the end of the afternoon, you’ll interview an administrator about how she organizes Lifelong Learning at her university.

 We are looking for several colleagues who have project management experience, work in a structured manner, and have a good understanding of the human side of change. We currently have openings for a junior, mid-level, and senior position.

 You’re driven by the desire to improve education and make a difference for our clients. You also enjoy working with others and aren’t afraid to juggle multiple projects at once.

Morgens helps educational institutions stay abreast of developments in education and beyond. Issues such as academic success, efficient educational logistics, student-centeredness, and connections to the professional field are always relevant to every educational institution. The education of tomorrow is capable of constant improvement. Such an organization requires strong leadership, employee ownership, and the trust to work together. Becoming more decisive. Increasing problem-solving capabilities.
