Full-Time Roles at Best Delegate

We're not just hiring someone to manage campus logistics. We're looking for someone who can build the campus infrastructure behind a growing portfolio of educational programs, starting with Model UN and potentially beyond.

Today, you'll own how our programs come to life on university campuses: university and vendor contracts, housing and meals, materials and shipping, and travel for 60+ seasonal staff across a 9–11 week summer. You'll personally launch our key sites, then run remote support for the rest of the summer. From your seat on the Senior Leadership Team, you'll help shape where we go next, and grow with us into broader operations leadership.

Two strengths matter most: relationships outside the company, and meticulous follow-through inside it. Your job is to make every launch look easy, then turn it into a scalable system.

Hired for today. Recruited for what's next. Growth here follows results, not a calendar, so you can move as fast as you lead.

• Build the foundation: open every campus on time, safe, and on budget; earn trusted, long-term partnerships with university teams; join the Senior Leadership Team and own quarterly company goals.
• Expand our reach: open new campuses, markets, and programs without adding complexity; improve campus economics and ease of operations; help bring programs beyond Model UN to campus.
• Grow into leadership: set a multi-year campus and operations roadmap; develop managers who lead sites without you in the room; potentially step into a Senior Director role.

As a member of our Senior Leadership Team, you'll work side by side with our founders and leaders. Here's who you'll work with, and what you'll learn from each of them.

• University Partnerships: build trusted relationships with university conference and housing teams; negotiate terms and navigate each university's policies; get answers from slow-to-respond contacts and resolve issues diplomatically.
• Contracts & Operational Precision: track dozens of deadlines, payments, policies, and changes at once; lock every campus contract and vendor commitment by March 1; never drop the ball, and build systems so the team doesn't either.
• Campus Evaluation & Logistics Design: know each campus's capabilities and constraints; design the right logistical setup for every program; evaluate potential new campuses before we commit.
• Launch Readiness & Team Handoffs: lead the seasonal operations team through every launch; make sure staff can arrive, plug in, and deliver without friction; hand each site to its Camp Director with a working setup.
• Commercial Improvement & Expansion: own the campus budget and improve cost per student; make each campus more sustainable and easier to run; build repeatable systems to scale into new locations and programs.

Four strengths matter most. If you're exceptional at these, we'd love to hear from you, even if you don't check every other box.

• Building relationships: you earn trust fast with university partners, vendors, and teammates, and you can get a yes from someone who hasn't answered in a week.
• Managing complex details: you track dozens of moving parts at once, catch the missing certificate before it matters, and close every loop.
• Designing and improving operations: you turn one-off heroics into systems, and leave every process simpler than you found it.
• Owning outcomes and leading people: you own results end to end, manage a budget, and build a team that holds a high bar.

• The basics: 5+ years in operations, events, or project management, including multi-site or multi-day programs; 2+ years leading people and owning a budget; experience using AI to improve how you work; experience in youth-serving settings (preferred); bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
• Bonus points: university conference services or campus housing contracting; Model UN experience; familiarity with EOS (Traction).
• The fine print: able to travel ~4–5 weeks each summer for onsite kickoffs, plus an annual in-person leadership retreat; available up to ~60 hrs/week mid-May to mid-August, including weekend arrival and departure days; eligible to work in the U.S. (no visa sponsorship) and able to pass a background check; complete Protection of Minors and harassment-prevention training, and hold current First Aid/CPR before your first onsite kickoff.

Not quite at the Director level yet? Apply anyway. If you have the strengths this role needs but fewer years than it calls for, we may bring you on as Senior Manager, Campus Operations ($65,000–$70,000 base, same benefits) with the explicit goal of growing you into the Director seat. Promotion here follows results, not a calendar.

Travel: Fully remote, except about 4–5 weeks onsite each summer at our launch sites. Flights, lodging and meals are covered.

Peak season: From mid-May to mid-August, expect up to ~60 hours a week, including weekends on arrival and departure days. Extra time off accrues.

Tools: Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, HubSpot, Claude, plus project management and CRM tools.

• Base salary (based on experience): $73,000 – $75,000
• Summer delivery bonus: up to ~$2,000
• Health care stipend ($300/month): $3,600
• Technology stipend ($50/month): $600
• 401(k) match (up to 4% of salary, after 6 months): $2,920 – $3,000
• Total annual value: ~$82,000 – $84,000

Also included: a seat on the Senior Leadership Team and room to grow into broader operations leadership; 22 paid days off (12 vacation days, rising to 17 after three years, plus 10 national holidays); paid family leave; company laptop; potential annual company bonus; professional development; and travel fully covered for onsite periods and the annual retreat (about 4–5 weeks a summer on university campuses in D.C., California, NYC, and Boston, with flights, lodging, and meals covered).

The 401(k) match begins after 6 months of full-time employment, so first-year match value is about half the amount shown. Totals are approximate.

Deadline: 11:59 p.m. on Monday, November 16, 2026.
