Hiring For: Program Manager

Program Manager 

Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA), New York City 

Full-time | In-Person 

About ERA

ERA (eranyc.com) is an early-stage venture fund and tech accelerator based in NYC. Since 2011, we’ve invested in 400+ startups across nearly every major industry, supported by a network of 1,000+ mentors and alumni. We run two cohorts per year, 15 companies each.

About this role

You’ll own the accelerator program that has helped launch more than a generation of NYC startups. The Program Manager’s focus is the founder experience, ensuring every company in the cohort can take full advantage of what ERA offers. This is a high-ownership, execution-heavy role that runs with the energy and ethos of a startup.

You’ll sit at the center of one of the densest startup ecosystems in the country, gaining a unique perspective on how investor decisions get made, how mentorship works at scale, and what separates founders who succeed from those who don’t.

The day-to-day is genuinely varied: in a single day you might coordinate mentor meetings, interview a founder for the next cohort, and manage event setup. This role is both strategic and operational in equal measure.

You’ll work with a Program Associate, a part-time Operations Associate, and a rotating intern cohort. Over time, we’re looking for you to grow into this role and become exceptional at managing and scaling program operations.

The calendar rhythm

January – April: Winter cohort runs. Dense and fast-paced, but predictable once the rhythm locks in.

February – May: Summer cohort recruiting events run in parallel.

May – June: Founder interviews and cohort selection for Summer.

June – October: Summer cohort runs.

September – November: Winter cohort recruiting events.

November – December: Founder interviews and Winter cohort selection.

December: Planning and prep for Winter cohort.

What you’ll own

Who you are

Experience

4–6 years of experience in program management, operations, or a related field preferred. You can lead independently and communicate confidently across founders, mentors, and investors. Startup exposure is a plus, not a requirement.

Tools you’ll use:

Google Workspace, Airtable, Notion, Zapier, Slack, Zoom, simple CRMs (e.g., Streak), Claude Cowork, and event platforms like Luma. 

What we offer

This is an in-person role based in New York, NY.

How to apply:

Email [email protected]  with:

  1. Resume
  2. LinkedIn + any relevant links (website, portfolio)
    This role is primarily an execution and operations role — roughly 80% hands-on logistics and program management. In 150–200 words, tell us why it appeals to you specifically, and what’s an example of a system or process you built or improved that you’re proud of?

(Optional but encouraged) 3–5 bullet “wins” that show how you improved a program or process.
