The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
R 437 381 - R 553 822 a year
Johannesburg, Gauteng
Full time
3 weeks ago

BYU-Pathway Worldwide is seeking a full-time Career Development Manager to support students in preparing for and securing meaningful employment—both locally and remotely. In this pivotal role, you’ll work directly with students, staff, employers, and internal teams to help students progress toward a Church Living Wage while advancing their education.

As a key member of the Global Education Center (GEC), you will coach students, build relationships with employers, lead training efforts, and report on job placement metrics. You will report directly to the Director of Business Development (U.S.-based) and indirectly to the local GEC Manager.

This position requires availability during standard business hours in your local time zone, with occasional responsibilities outside of those hours to coordinate with BYU-Pathway teams in Salt Lake City and other global locations.

This role is ideal for professionals with experience in career services, training, and employer engagement—especially those who are passionate about helping students grow spiritually, professionally, and personally.


What You’ll Do

1. Local Employer Engagement & Accountability

  • Build and maintain strong partnerships with local employers and the BYU-Pathway Advancement Team.
  • Coordinate job fairs and feedback loops to align student readiness with workforce needs.
  • Track employer satisfaction and placement success to refine future outreach and training.

2. Career Coaching with Students

  • Guide students through the full employment pipeline—from onboarding to job placement.
  • Support with resume development, interview prep, and individualized career pathway planning.
  • Collaborate with the Success Network to connect students to relevant work-readiness initiatives.

3. Conduct Skill Trainings

  • Lead job-readiness training sessions and align curriculum with local employer expectations.
  • Use employer feedback to adapt training content and delivery.
  • Implement job survey completion and data tracking at student onboarding.

4. Coordinate with Advancement (U.S.-based)

  • Partner with the Advancement and Institutional Research teams to identify job placement and funding opportunities.
  • Share insights from student and employer engagement to inform shared goals.
  • Participate in strategic planning and cross-functional collaboration.

5. Report on GEC Metrics

  • Track and report on key student employment metrics using Power BI and other tools.
  • Monitor progress in job placement, employer engagement, and student outcomes.
  • Provide regular updates to support strategic decisions and continuous program improvement.

What We’re Looking For

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree required.
  • At least three (3) years of experience in career development, employer relations, training, or operations.
  • Strong interpersonal, presentation, time management, and data analysis skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with learning management systems is preferred.
