About the role

Our Growth team finds, engages, and onboards the engineers, finance professionals, scientists, and other domain specialists whose judgment teaches AI systems how to reason in their field. We're looking for a Growth Program Manager to own the programs that make that happen. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years of experience in program operations, growth, recruiting or workforce operations, strategy and operations, or a similar role
  • You've owned a program end to end, from setting the strategy to executing it. You were the person accountable when something broke, and the person who fixed it
  • You move comfortably between big-picture thinking and details, and you're as happy building a plan as you are working through a spreadsheet
  • Experience building and managing teams, ideally distributed or contractor-based
  • Strong judgment about prioritization when there's more work than time, and you know when to escalate and when to resolve on your own
  • Data-driven: comfortable defining metrics, digging into funnels, and making decisions from imperfect data. You can run your own analysis in SQL or Python

You'll take new initiatives from early and messy to scaled and repeatable, then move on to the next highest-impact problem. The programs you'll own are still being built, and you'll run them at a volume that surfaces problems nobody has seen yet. You'll use AI and automation to keep them from breaking as they scale.

We're looking for real ownership. You treat the program as your own, hold yourself accountable for the results, and don't wait for permission to fix what's broken.

  • Set the strategy for your programs: define goals, identify the biggest levers, and decide where to invest
  • Own execution end to end and be accountable for outcomes like pipeline, conversion, time-to-productive, and retention
  • Build and lead the teams that run your programs, including hiring leads who own their areas and setting clear expectations...
