Manager, Africa Accelerator

Required

• You're rooted in Africa's entrepreneurial and faith-based communities, and you understand how they work across different countries and cultures.
• You own a calendar. You see the next deadline coming and move on it before anyone has to ask.
• You care about the details that make people feel well hosted: an accurate email, a well-prepared Fellow, a mentor who knows exactly where to be.
• You work as a true partner to program leaders, carrying two programs at once, keeping both sets of priorities in view, and knowing when to ask which comes first.
• When you've done something three times, you write it down so the fourth time is easier for whoever does it next.
• You love making things run. You'd rather build the system that lets a mentor do their best work than be the mentor yourself.
• You reach for AI when you've done something more than once: you build the prompt, template, or automation that makes the next time faster, and you write it down for whoever comes next.
• Expected Competencies for the Role
• Bring strong, hands-on fluency with AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) and use them daily alongside the Praxis set of digital tools, such as Google Suite, Airtable, Notion, Slack, Asana, Typeform, and Dropbox
• 4+ years of professional experience in program management, ideally with accelerator, fellowship, or other cohort programs
• Program Management: Experience running the operations of a cohort, fellowship, accelerator, or similar program from recruitment through outcomes
• Relational Intelligence: Ability to build trust with founders, mentors, and senior leaders across cultures
