Who We Are

Post University is a thriving organization with an unfolding, amazing success story centered on one mission – changing the lives of its students and associates. Our approach is simple, authentic, and unique. At Post University, each day begins and ends with demonstrations of behaviors that reflect our culture and way of life. Every day, our team of passionate professionals embraces a culture that celebrates bold ideas, supports individual growth, and puts our students at the heart of everything we do.

For more than 130 years, Post University has been dedicated to student success, serving thousands of learners across our online, main campus, undergraduate, and graduate programs. We value diverse experiences and perspectives and seek individuals who are passionate about contributing to a collaborative and student‑focused community.

Post University currently offers the option to work remotely in this position. Candidates must plug their equipment into their home router (a 50-foot Ethernet cable will be provided by Post). No wireless connections are supported. The home Internet minimum requirements are a download speed of 25 Mb, an upload speed of 15 Mb, and a ping rate of less than 60. Upload speed is essential for maintaining a consistent audio connection in the phone system. (Please use the link provided to test your home network speed www.speedtest.net.) Candidates whose home network speed does not meet the minimum requirements can independently contact their ISP to upgrade their service before their confirmed start date.

Whenever working remotely, the candidate's home network must meet the minimum required speed and follow the hardware connection settings determined by their provisioned equipment and department role. Additionally, candidates must have a reliable Internet connection and a designated and private home office or alternative workspace free from noise or distractions.
