General Assembly

Classes & Workshops Producer

The C&W producer owns the local C&W program from end to end. You'll create a plan that allows us to grow the business efficiently by getting students to campus, and use data on trends in our region to optimize our offerings. You'll create the systems and processes that help us deliver a high-quality short form experience for every student, every time. You'll also depend on many other departments and people in the organization to accomplish your goals (the Experience team, the Education Programs team, the Marketing team, and more) and should be adept at managing through influence. You are comfortable holding your peers accountable, and work collaboratively to shape timelines and marshall the right resources from groups beyond your own.

You are an Entrepreneur at Heart: You prefer the opportunity that comes from being part of a small team to the predictability that comes with larger organizations.

You are Highly Organized: When it comes to workflow, you take pride in your organizational skills. You feel comfortable working with cross-functional partner staff as well as internal personnel—including education experts, technologists, and designers. That is, you see your role as not only implementing quality programming , but also coordinating all necessary parties externally and internally to get the job done.

 

You have Emotional Intelligence: In this high-touch customer facing role, you are constantly dealing with complex and delicate personal stories. As a self-aware individual you know when to listen and when to provide advice. You are able to empathize with anyone and can handle other people’s stress. You generally are optimistic about outcomes and enjoy making friends with new people. You can be reflective when something hasn’t gone as planned and adapt quickly to get back on course.
