Join the Professional Team
All-American Model United Nations
Founded in 2011, All-American Model UN’s mission is to validate and legitimize the Model UN experience by encouraging parents to nurture an interest in Model UN for its inherent educational benefits, better explaining to college admissions the positive effects of accepting students immersed in Model UN, and cultivating a Model UN community that is supportive to all participants with all aims and objectives.
We currently work with over 1,000 students each year through various programs. The heart of All-American Model UN is our travel team, which competes at Model UN or Model government conferences in the US and abroad. We also operate week-long summer training programs in various cities in the US, including, but not limited to, Boston, Washington, DC, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
As a community builder, we offer a suite of solutions for schools, parents, and conferences, including our virtual Masterclasses, online training platform Model UN Coach, Conference Support Services, and more.
OPEN POSITIONS
VP, Ecosystem Development and Programs
Start Date: September 2026
Role: Part-time (15-20 hours/week), with a strong preference for growth to full-time
All-American Model UN is creating a new senior leadership position for a strategic, student-focused VP of Model UN Ecosystem & Programs to help lead the organization to its next level. This role owns the programs, partnerships, and standards that sit above day-to-day operations — working directly with the Executive Director to shape the next steps for All-American Model UN’s programs.
We’re looking for someone who can work 15–20+ hours a week to start, with a strong preference for a candidate who can grow from part-time to full-time as the company expands this year. This is a build role: you’ll have real ownership over strategy, not just execution of an existing plan.
Help build the standard to propel Model UN forward.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
This position is about setting direction — deciding where All-American Model UN programs go next and building the infrastructure (standards, partnerships, credentialing) to get there. It’s important to be strategic, credible with external stakeholders, up to date on the Model UN landscape, and able to work independently toward measurable goals.
More specifically, we’re looking for someone who is:
- Personable, professional, and well-spoken, especially when representing All-American Model UN to schools, partners, and teachers
- A strong program or portfolio manager with solid organizational judgment
- Self-motivated and comfortable building things from scratch — frameworks, standards, and relationships that don’t yet exist
- Flexible and able to juggle multiple strategic initiatives simultaneously
- Deeply familiar with Model UN — as a competitor, coach, director, or conference organizer
- Able to work well in a team environment, coordinating closely with Operations to turn strategy into execution
- Experience and working ability with Claude are preferred.
GENERAL OVERVIEW OF RESPONSIBILITIES
The VP of Model UN Ecosystem & Programs is a strategy and partnership-building role. As with any small organization, the VP wears multiple hats and serves multiple stakeholders, including parents, students, teachers, schools, partners, vendors, and staff. The VP Ecosystem will directly oversee all ecosystem projects, while sharing program responsibilities (Summer Academies, Travel Team Cohort, Conferences) with VP Operations and Programs.
More specifically, the VP will be responsible for the following:
Program Strategy
- Help set direction across program portfolio — Summer Academies, Travel Team Cohort, international programs, and Model UN Coach — identifying where to invest and where to sunset.
- Partner closely with the VP of Operations and Programs on execution, staffing, and logistics.
- Track program performance and bring data-informed recommendations to the Executive Director.
Credentialing & Standards
- Lead development of All-American Model UN’s accreditation and certification system for high school MUN programs.
- Lead the “100 New Programs” campaign to bolster or start 100 new Model UN high school programs across the country
- Position All-American Model UN as the industry standard through credible, well-documented frameworks.
Partnerships & Ecosystem Development
- Establish and manage relationships with schools, districts, and international programs to expand All-American Model UN’s footprint.
- Represent All-American Model UN externally in partnership conversations, conferences, and industry settings.
- Directly manage ecosystem development projects, including Model UN Coach, Conference Support Services, the National Model UN Scholarship Competition, and others.
REQUIREMENTS
- Deep familiarity with Model UN — as a competitor, coach, director, or conference organizer; collegiate or post-collegiate MUN experience strongly preferred. Preference will be given to candidates with experience as a collegiate Head Delegate, Assistant Head Delegate, Secretary-General, Director-General, or umbrella organization executive team member.
- Program or portfolio management experience, ideally in education, nonprofit, or a fast-growing organization.
- Leadership experience — such as Secretary-General, Director-General, or a comparable senior role — preferred.
- Availability of at least 15–20 hours per week, with flexibility. This role will require working outside 9 AM–5 PM hours and on weekends.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable representing AAMUN externally.
- US citizenship or work authorization.
