Athena is Hiring!

We're looking for our next Entrepreneur-in-Residence!

At the Athena Center for Leadership at Barnard College, we envision a world where women and non-binary entrepreneurs have the confidence, support, and resources they need to build sustainable and socially responsible businesses. 

We’re looking for our next Entrepreneur-In-Residence to:

• run our incubator (in person, for 10 students, over 8 evening sessions from September-April, using a curriculum arc that we encourage you to make your own)
• provide 1:1 coaching and mentoring to our aspiring and emerging entrepreneurs via office hours (in-person preferred, but remote possible on occasion; scheduling to be determined by you and Athena's Director of Applied Learning)
• host occasional programs for the entrepreneurship-curious, e.g., field trips, visits from special guests, and skill-building sessions (including a session at our annual Startup Summit)

The ideal Entrepreneur-In-Residence is a seasoned founder: you may be actively running your business or have previous experience taking a venture from idea to execution. You are actively engaged in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in NYC, excited about using your existing networks to support our students, and eager to spend time with students in person on our beautiful campus in Manhattan. And you’re thrilled about the prospect of letting us amplify you and your amazing work!  

This is an in-person opportunity. The Entrepreneur-in-Residence is an independent contractor and will receive a stipend of $25,000 for a 10-month contract. 

To learn more, or to suggest someone, reach out to Chriss Sneed, Athena’s Director of Applied Learning, at csneed@barnard.edu or Umbreen Bhatti, Director of the Athena Center, at ubhatti@barnard.edu.
