Founder’s Office – Program Manager

About the Role:

We are looking for a high-agency, execution-focused Program Manager to work closely with the leadership team on critical business initiatives and zero-to-one projects.

This is a high-ownership generalist role where you will work across functions and solve ambiguous business problems — from setting up new initiatives and cities to launching new product categories and driving operational projects.

The ideal candidate is someone who is smart, hands-on, comfortable with ambiguity and highly execution-oriented. You should be able to take ownership of a problem, structure it independently, bring the right stakeholders together and drive it through to execution.

This role is ideal for professionals from Founder’s Office, Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, Program Management or fast-growing startup environments who enjoy working beyond a defined job description.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and drive high-priority strategic and operational projects from concept to execution.
• Work closely with founders and leadership on zero-to-one initiatives and special projects.
• Translate ambiguous business problems into structured action plans and measurable outcomes.
• Lead cross-functional execution across operations, manufacturing, product, supply chain and business teams.
• Drive initiatives such as new city launches, manufacturing projects, new product/category launches and process improvements.
• Coordinate multiple stakeholders and ensure projects remain on track, within timelines and aligned with business objectives.
• Identify bottlenecks, solve problems proactively and drive projects to closure.
• Build processes, frameworks and operating mechanisms where none exist.
• Work in highly dynamic situations where priorities may evolve rapidly.
• Use data and business insights to support decision-making and execution.
• Act as an extension of the leadership team, taking ownership of initiatives that require high judgment, speed and follow-through.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–4 years of experience in Founder’s Office, Business Operations, Strategy & Operations, Program Management, Consulting or a similar high-ownership role.
• Experience working in a startup / high-growth environment with significant ambiguity and changing priorities.
• Strong preference for candidates with experience in zero-to-one initiatives or cross-functional projects.
• Excellent problem-solving and structured thinking skills.
• Strong execution orientation — you enjoy getting things done, not just planning them.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Comfortable moving across different functions and business problems.
• High ownership, bias for action and strong business acumen.
• Engineering / MBA background from a strong academic institution would be preferred.

Who Will Thrive in This Role?

You will do well if you are someone who:

Thinks like a strategist → operates like an entrepreneur → executes like an operator.

If you enjoy taking an ambiguous problem, figuring out what needs to be done and seeing it through from 0 → 1, this role could be a strong fit.
