- Contributing to departmental curriculum reviews and collaborating with colleagues across the Business team

Why This Role, Why Here
Our Business team in Frisco is a collegial group that takes curriculum seriously and supports its instructors to do their best work.

The PM scheduling of this role offers meaningful flexibility alongside a full-time commitment — a balance that suits instructors who are also engaged in research, consulting, or community work. We are committed to building a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
