The posting

About Indigo

Indigo Research is dedicated to transforming the education landscape by pairing high school students with research mentors to complete and publish research projects. Whether in-person or online, we aim to deliver transformative educational experiences and cultivate the next generation of scholars. The In-Person Programs Associate will be a key member of the Operations Team who supports the successful planning, delivery, and continuous improvement of Indigo Research's in-person programs.

Role Overview

The In-Person Program Associate works closely with the In-Person Program Lead to support the planning and implementation of in-person student programs. The role is designed to strengthen Indigo Research's operational capacity as the in-person program portfolio expands.

They will also support the Program Lead in developing and implementing systems, processes, and documentation that allow programs to be delivered consistently and at greater scale.

The Associate must be highly organized, proactive, and comfortable working across different stakeholders and in ambiguous, fast-paced environments. They must also be available and eligible to travel internationally and be physically present during the in-person portion of programs, particularly during June–August and December. Indigo is currently pursuing an ambitious expansion with multiple cohorts across 3 continents, and the Associate will be a critical component for success.
