Current vacancies

Program Manager

  • Full time
  • £35,000 – £37,000
  • On site: Edinburgh
  • Closing 16th October 2026

Do you enjoy working with young people, building relationships and creating meaningful educational experiences? Are you someone who can move comfortably between supporting an individual student, developing a partnership with a local organisation, managing a budget and solving the practical challenges that come with running study abroad programmes in Edinburgh?

CIEE Edinburgh is looking for an enthusiastic and highly organised Program Manager to join our growing team and help deliver our portfolio of programmes for visiting university and high school students from the USA.

This is a varied role with lead responsibility for our internship programmes and community volunteering initiative, connecting students with businesses, charities and community organisations across Edinburgh. You will also work closely with the Center Director to support the development and delivery of our year-round college and high school programmes, as well as the financial planning, monitoring and administration of the Centre.

This could be a particularly good fit for someone with a background in teaching, youth work, student support, international education, employability or programme management who is looking to use their skills in a new environment.

Why CIEE?

CIEE is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to international education and exchange since 1947. Our Edinburgh Centre (established in 2023), works with students from the US, helping them learn about Scotland through university study, internships, community engagement, cultural experiences and life beyond the classroom.

You will join a small, collaborative team and have the opportunity to make a real contribution to a growing centre. You'll work closely with colleagues in Edinburgh, London and the US and build relationships with universities, businesses, charities and other organisations across Edinburgh.
