Are you passionate about international education and eager to make a lasting impact in the lives of students studying abroad? Marist Italy is looking for a dynamic Program Coordinator to manage the Florence campus operations and contribute to the incredible study abroad experience our students enjoy.

As the Program Coordinator, you will have the unique opportunity to blend professional responsibilities with engagement in a vibrant international academic community. From overseeing student clubs, activities, and events to facilitating visa and immigration processes, this position offers a multifaceted role with plenty of room to grow and thrive in an intercultural setting.

Responsibilities Overview:

• Student Engagement: Coordinate student clubs, social activities, and cultural events, ensuring every student’s abroad experience is enriching and engaging.
• Administrative Tasks: Maintain and manage emergency contacts, databases, and logistical details related to hosting prospective students, exchange faculty, and campus visitors.
• Residence Life: Live alongside students in Marist Residence in Florence and support the Residence Life Coordinator in supervision and student housing management.
• Visa and Immigration Expertise: Aid students in navigating Italy’s visa and immigration processes, making their transition smoother and less stressful.

This role is perfect for applicants who enjoy blending administrative skills with hands-on mentoring and leadership in an international setting.

What You Need to Know About Applying:

• Work Eligibility: Applicants need to be either European Union citizens or individuals already authorized to work in Italy. If you’re not eligible to work in Italy, please note that the organization cannot sponsor a visa for this role.
• Location: The role is based in Florence, Italy. Applicants should be prepared to live on-site in the student residence, which provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the day-to-day operations of managing a vibrant international community.
