Serve as the senior operational leader and external representative of the civil business, building credibility with clients, partners, and vendors.

  • Executive Director - Early Career Programs (INSURANCE)

    ARU

    Executive director job in Chapel Hill, NC

    COMPANY INTRO ARU, founded in 2016, has quickly risen to become the U.S. leader in specialty property insurance underwriting, product development, loss control, and technology. INTRO Recently, ARU announced that founding CEO Will Johnson would be moving into a new role to focus on special projects. One of the initiatives Will J. seeks to execute is the creation of a world-class MGA / MGU Summer Internship program, which will: 1) Introduce rising college seniors to the MGA / MGU business, 2) Educate these individuals about the myriad of professional opportunities available in the specialty insurance space, and 3) Establish a steady pipeline of entry level insurance professionals for ARU and affiliated companies. The Executive Director - Early Career Programs (EDECP) will work closely with Will J. and will lead the design and execution of the Internship program. The EDECP will work closely with regional colleges and universities (especially UNC, located across the street from company HQ), with the goal of championing the specialty insurance business to college students and growing the next generation of insurance talent. A few words from ARU's Co-founder Will Johnson: "I started ARU in 2016 at ground zero, with zero customers, zero revenue, and one big foundational idea: other market participants were operating fundamentally flawed models that were not sustainable . I strongly believed ARU could deliver substantial value by making a clean break from the legacy underwriting methods -- and by building a completely new and innovative approach. But - I must say, believing it and executing it were two very different things, ha! While it certainly has not been easy, amazing work by the ARU team has generated superlative growth and profitability results, and it continues to be incredibly fulfilling to see ARU's original mission be realized. Recently I publicly announced that I would be stepping down as ARU CEO in order to pursue other initiatives, and I am keen to take lessons learned from building ARU and develop the best MGA / MGU internship program in the world, to the benefit of all stakeholders. If you are a senior insurance professional with a passion for educating and empowering others, I invite you to reach out to us." WHAT WE'RE OFFERING TO YOU: You will work closely with company Co-founder Will Johnson, a nationally-recognized insurance leader. You will lead the development and execution of a world-class educational and professional development program. You will use your powers as a force for good, helping both the overall insurance industry and students / budding professionals. You will receive a competitive compensation package, with base annual salary, annual bonus, and company-provided benefits. You will have 100% employer-paid health insurance, generous PTO, and a 100% vested retirement plan with company match. You will have a position in a fast-growing, modern, technology-based company, where your contribution will be critical to the company's success, and where your contribution will directly improve the lives of others. PRIMARY DUTIES: Help ARU be the best in the world at what we do, and do not ever settle for mediocrity. Actively participate in ARU's culture of collaborative problem-solving. Treat every assignment as an opportunity to: 1) learn and grow as an insurance professional, and 2) prepare for increased responsibilities in the company.

Address internal and external business challenges in a graceful and tactful manner. Complete all duties with a high degree of urgency, thoroughness, and accuracy.

Define clear learning outcomes; map each module to on-the-job skills and measurable competencies University Partnerships & Outreach Own relationships with priority schools (with special focus on UNC) and a growing slate of regional/national universities; secure faculty champions and career-services partners. Design year-round campus engagement: guest lectures, micro-workshops, student case competitions, and “Risk Studios” hosted at ARU. Create easy-access pathways for non-business majors (engineering, comp sci, statistics, geography/GIS, economics, communications / other liberal arts) to discover specialty insurance careers.

  • Small Farms Resource and Innovation Center (SFRIC) Director

    North Carolina A & T State University 4.2company rating

    Executive director job in Greensboro, NC

    The Small Farms Resource and Innovation Center (SFRIC) Director will guide the center to capitalize on opportunities and address challenges by examining pressing issues and trends that affect small farmers in the broader food, agricultural and environmental systems. The position will help the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) integrate its efforts in research, extension, and teaching innovations spanning food, agriculture, and environmental sciences to collaboratively complement and strengthen tailored outreach to socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers (SDFRs). The SFRIC Director will also help CAES expand and elevate its overall outreach that enhances the economy, environment, and well-being of people in North Carolina and beyond through research-based information and education. The SFRIC Director will work to reduce threats to small farmers' economic viability. The traditional view of the importance of farming and value of agricultural enterprises has shifted in the last decade. What was once seen as a viable and sustainable way to make a living and provide economic impact in communities is no longer a viable option for next generational farmers. Many of these threats are due to diminishing returns on their investments (cash and assets invested into the operation of their farming enterprises to only break even or potential lose money) and emergence of "big box" e-commerce distributors that have revolutionized how products are sold and delivered. The SFRIC Director will operate across the college's tripartite mission of teaching, research, and extension while applying full understanding of the ecology of farming and integration across agricultural disciplines and the production spectrum (production-marketing-consumption). Primary Function of Organizational Unit N.C. A&T is a public, land-grant, doctoral research institution and has been the largest historically Black university in the country for the past decade. With an enrollment of 14,311 students in Fall 2024, the university offers 59 undergraduate degree programs, 36 master's programs, and 12 doctoral programs. It is America's top producer of Black graduates in Engineering and Agricultural Science bachelor's programs, as well as a top five producer in numerous additional disciplines, including Liberal Arts and Communications/Journalism. It also ranks no. 3 in master's degrees awarded to Black graduates in Engineering Technologies and Related Fields, no. 4 in master's degrees in Engineering, and no. 11 best business school for women in the nation. Nationally recognized for its leadership and excellence in STEM education and research, N.C. A&T is classified as "R2-High Research Activity" in the Carnegie Classifications and is poised to achieve "R1-Very High Research Activity" status. It also holds Carnegie's earned credential in Community Engagement and the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) Innovation and Economic Prosperity designation. With an annual economic impact of $2.4 billion, N.C. A&T plays a vital role as a higher-education economic driver in North Carolina's Piedmont Triad region and across a state that is ranked No. 1 in the nation for the second straight year as "best for business" by the CNBC financial network. The CAES is the largest college of Agriculture among the 1890 Land-grant universities and as such is the national top producer of African Americans with degrees in Agriculture. CAES offers 9 BS degrees, 3 MS degrees and 1 PhD and educates over 1100 students. BS degrees include: Agricultural and Environmental Systems, Agricultural Education, Animal Science, Biological Engineering, Child Development and Family Studies, Family and Consumer Sciences, Food and Nutritional Sciences, Laboratory Animal Science and Landscape Architecture.
