Part-time instructors needed to teach Marketing courses
The Marketing Management Department at the Ted Rogers School of Management is looking to add to its roster of part-time instructors to teach marketing courses either in the evening, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. or during the day between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The minimum required to be hired to teach as a contract lecturer (part-time instructor) is a Masters Degree in Business. However, we are not looking for just the minimum requirement. Other characteristics that would be important for a successful candidate to hold are as follows;
- At least 5 years of career experience (more is always better) as a professional marketer (e.g. in brand or product management, product development, strategic marketing, marketing research, social media marketing, customer analytics, etc).
- Communication and presentation skills are a must.
- Ability to adapt to changing environments.
- Willingness to bring real-world experience/examples into the classroom to help students appreciate how to apply the marketing theory.
