PT - Project Manager, Global Initiatives

Job Summary

The Project Manager for Global Initiatives is responsible for the successful execution of the G100 Global Leaders ThM Scholarship Program, a cohort-based, five-year international program in which 100 students study online for three years from their home countries, then relocate to Dallas for two years of residential study to complete the Master of Theology degree.
