Program Manager

Program Manager

About the Job :

The Program Manager is a people person. Their job is to dive deep into our Founder’s company and help them determine their roadmap as they transition and scale their company in Canada.

This includes identifying appropriate goals, gaps, and milestones, and creating ways to hold Founders accountable to their plans.

From the day the Founder is admitted into the Global Entrepreneur Incubation Program to the day they graduate (and even beyond!), the Program Manager is by their side.

The Program Manager is not an expert in all fields of business and does not need to coach Founders on the intricacies of doing business in Canada.

Rather, their job is to build a strong relationship based on trust and mutual goals, help the Founder identify interventions needed from experts, and facilitate introductions and follow throughs.

Further, as the Program Manager walks with the Founder through the Program, they are responsible for collecting data, monitoring immigration process, managing immigration queries and gaining feedback, as well as keeping details records on the above.

At the end of the day, we’re a Founder focused team and the Program Manger is the one driving their experience, learning and development trajectory, and community engagement.

We’re seeking someone who loves innovation, seeks to do things better today than yesterday, and has a heart for Founders.
