The Role

We are looking for a Program Manager to drive execution across the Global Partnerships team. This role will manage roadshows and LP engagements, coordinate GP and LP availability, and lead projects that span the team. The ideal candidate brings structure to complex logistics, keeps stakeholders and priorities aligned, and ensures that commitments, deliverables, and follow-ups move forward on time.

The ideal candidate is exceptionally organized, anticipates needs before they are voiced, exercises sound judgment with highly sensitive information, and thrives in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment. You see around corners, sweat the details, and operate with a sense of ownership over outcomes, not just tasks.

We are open to candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area. This role requires an in-office presence and flexibility to support travel and time-sensitive needs.

• 5-8+ years in operations, program management, or supporting senior executives in a fast-paced environment (e.g., venture capital, finance, professional services, or high-growth tech), with meaningful exposure to complex logistics
• Proven track record managing complex multi-city travel and high-stakes external events from planning through flawless execution
• Exceptional organizational skills and obsessive attention to detail; able to manage many moving parts simultaneously without dropping a thread
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the polish and judgment to interface directly with LPs, senior leaders, and external partners
• Strong project management ability, with the range to take initiatives from 0 to 1, set timelines, and drive them to completion with minimal oversight
• Sound judgment and absolute discretion when handling confidential and sensitive information
• Comfort with ambiguity and a high rate of change; able to re-prioritize quickly without compromising quality
• Proficiency with modern productivity, scheduling, and travel tools

Ideal Candidate Background

• You have a sense of urgency and value the courtesy of professional responsiveness (this is super important as speed is a form of client service)
• You anticipate needs and solve problems before they become problems; you see around corners
• You are able to adapt on the fly and handle unforeseen developments with ease, without compromising attention to detail and quality
• You strive to be an enabler who gives the leader and the team maximum leverage; there is no job too big, no job too small
