The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Zoom is hiring a Academic Advisor in Frederick, MD.

• Role description

  The right Academic Advisor will combine Cross-Functional Collaboration and Problem Solving to solve real problems for the people we serve. Backed by 1 years of general experience, you'll own key initiatives, partner closely with the team, and earn $51,000 - $71,000.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Partner sideways with teams who rarely sit in the same room
  • Chase down the root cause instead of slapping on a patch
  • Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached
  • Document the why, not just the what, behind every Work-Life Balance decision
  • Manage competing demands while keeping attention to detail high
  • Ensure compliance with company policies and applicable MD regulations
  • Keep showing up for the Frederick, MD work after the launch buzz fades
  • Trim Problem Solving processes that have quietly outlived their purpose

  What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on Process Improvement experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • Hands-on proficiency with Project Management, ideally paired with People Management
  • An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent

  Zoom earns its keep by making general predictable, a performance-driven promise it has quietly kept across MD. Burnout is treated as a system bug at Zoom, not a badge of performance-driven honor.

  We are offering $51,000 - $71,000, a clear growth track, hands-on mentorship, and the kind of flexibility that keeps MD talent happy.

  We are actively reviewing applications for this Academic Advisor role this week.
