Exploration Manager jobs in Massachusetts

At EXPLO, our engine is curiosity. We drive joyful learning through investigation, collaboration, and play.

We’re a mission-driven, educational non-profit with more than 85,000 student alumni who hail from 90 countries. We offer day and residential summer programs for clever and curious students in grades 4 through 12 on three of the most beautiful college campuses on the East Coast of the U.S. For many, EXPLO is a life-changing experience. Our students sometimes describe it as the place where they feel like the truest version of themselves. We know you’ll transform the lives of our students. We hope the experience will transform yours, too. 

We like to say Programming Managers make the magic happen on campus. That’s because they’re the ones planning and running our nightly events, student activities, and almost everything else that happens on campus outside the classroom and residential halls. Programming Managers manage a tight-knit team that takes charge of running over 30 campus events and hundreds of activities and clubs throughout the summer. Through great planning, Programming Managers make summer logistics run like a well-oiled machine, making the experience of being at EXPLO easy and engaging. This allows our staff and students to focus on engaging learning experiences, making connections, and having fun. Whether it’s coordinating staff members’ schedules so they know where to be and when, prioritizing and delegating campus-wide tasks, brainstorming ideas for the next day’s activities, or seeing the biggest evening event of the summer through from idea and planning to clean up, Programming Managers build our campus community and magic to make sure that the program’s work gets done and gets done well.
