About the Role

~1 min read

The Associate Director of Business Career Advising serves as Northeastern University's dedicated career specialist for students pursuing roles in finance, consulting, marketing, business analytics, and adjacent business disciplines including sales and communications. As a core member of the Career Education Center's sector-based advising team, this role brings deep, current knowledge of the business talent market to bear on every aspect of student career development from first-year exploration through full-time offer negotiation. The Business Career Advisor designs and delivers sector-specific programming, maintains active employer relationships with financial services firms, consulting practices, and leading consumer and B2B companies across scales and geographies, and uses labor market data and AI-enabled tools to give students a competitive edge. This professional understands how business hiring is being reshaped by AI including changes to recruiting processes, evolving skill profiles, and emerging hybrid roles at the intersection of business and data, and translates that intelligence into practical, outcome-focused advising and workshops. The role is ideal for someone who has worked in or alongside finance, consulting, or marketing, speaks the language of business hiring managers and talent acquisition professionals, and is energized by helping students land meaningful, high-quality internship and full-time employment across some of the most sought-after career paths in the economy.
