Academic Advisor

An Academic Advisor role just opened at Public Affairs Institute, the kind where 3 of general experience earns you a real say in Houston. The offer reads simply — full-time, $70,000 - $98,000, 4 years, and a mid-level role where ownership is not a perk but the point.

Key Responsibilities

• Follow safety protocols and best practices at all times
• Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached
• Own the day-to-day rhythm of general work across our Houston, TX operation
• Juggle transparent priorities without dropping the ones that matter
• Respond to internal and external requests in a timely, professional manner
• Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
• Bring 3 of general instinct to problems the playbook misses
• Partner with peers to troubleshoot issues and share practical knowledge

What You'll Bring

• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• 4+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• Practical Process Improvement skills sharpened in a full-time setting
• A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
