The incumbent should have an entrepreneurial mindset; financial and management experience; experience in K-12 education; a commitment to incorporating DRI research topical themes into educational outreach on a state and national level; and the ability to plan for and secure external funding in support of K-12 STEM activities at DRI and beyond (https://www.dri.edu/education).

During the first year, the STEM Education Program Manager will assume operational responsibility for the existing 3-4 STEM education technical areas at DRI, develop and execute a plan for existing areas of STEM content and identify additional program areas to develop, integrating them into a program that serves DRI strategic goals in K-12 STEM over the next decade.
