ROLE & COMPANY OVERVIEW

Medvec & Associates, LLC provides high-stakes acumen and expertise in negotiation, decision-making, team effectiveness, organizational change, corporate governance, and women in leadership. For over two decades, Dr. Victoria Medvec, the firm’s President and CEO, has brought her unique knowledge to some of the world’s largest and most highly-respected companies, such as McDonald’s, Google, Microsoft, McKinsey, IBM, T-Mobile, and Amgen, to name a few. She is also the Adeline Barry Davee Professor of Management and Organizations at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

We are looking for an exceptionally bright, driven, organized, and detail-oriented individual with an exceptional work ethic and passion for the world of business. In this position, you will work with Fortune 500 companies across multiple industries and functions such as real estate, healthcare, energy, tech, CPG, and private equity. The pace is fast, with the opportunity to learn more in one year at Medvec & Associates than usually available in three years at typical professional services firms through the exposure to Dr. Medvec’s sessions, training, consulting, and MBA classes. Not only will the Associate Director have the chance to be exposed to deal making at the C-suite level, but will also have the advantage of sharpening personal negotiation and decision-making skills.

In addition to working directly with Dr. Medvec, the Associate Director will also support the Managing Directors of the firm, composed of accomplished professionals from varying industries with top business school backgrounds.

This is a one-year contract position that requires availability of at least 30 hours per week, with the ability to extend the commitment after one year. While most of the work is completed virtually, travel for workshops and meetings will be required. Candidates in the Chicago area are preferred.
