The Role

We are looking for a Program Manager to drive execution across the Global Partnerships team. This role will manage roadshows and LP engagements, coordinate GP and LP availability, and lead projects that span the team. The ideal candidate brings structure to complex logistics, keeps stakeholders and priorities aligned, and ensures that commitments, deliverables, and follow-ups move forward on time.

The ideal candidate is exceptionally organized, anticipates needs before they are voiced, exercises sound judgment with highly sensitive information, and thrives in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment. You see around corners, sweat the details, and operate with a sense of ownership over outcomes, not just tasks.

We are open to candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area. This role requires an in-office presence and flexibility to support travel and time-sensitive needs.

• Manage roadshows and LP events from planning through execution, including schedules, venues, accommodations, transportation, security, briefing materials, and day-of logistics
• Coordinate GP and LP availability across multiple stakeholders, locations, and time zones, proactively resolving conflicts and schedule changes
• Drive the LP engagement cadence by maintaining the engagement calendar and CRM, tracking meetings and commitments, and ensuring timely follow-up
• Coordinate and host LP experiences, ensuring each visit is polished, welcoming, and consistent with the a16z brand
• Drive LP-related deliverables, including fundraising milestones, DDQs, and data-room requests, by managing timelines, coordinating inputs, and guiding materials through review and approval across multiple stakeholders

• Lead working sessions, track decisions and action items, and keep contributors aligned and accountable
• Manage recurring team workflows, templates, and trackers, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and consistency
• Maintain visibility into team priorities, dependencies, and commitments, surfacing risks and conflicts before they affect execution
• Take on additional strategic and operational projects based on the team’s evolving priorities

Minimum Qualifications

• 5-8+ years in operations, program management, or supporting senior executives in a fast-paced environment (e.g., venture capital, finance, professional services, or high-growth tech), with meaningful exposure to complex logistics
• Proven track record managing complex multi-city travel and high-stakes external events from planning through flawless execution
• Exceptional organizational skills and obsessive attention to detail; able to manage many moving parts simultaneously without dropping a thread
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the polish and judgment to interface directly with LPs, senior leaders, and external partners
• Strong project management ability, with the range to take initiatives from 0 to 1, set timelines, and drive them to completion with minimal oversight
• Sound judgment and absolute discretion when handling confidential and sensitive information
• Comfort with ambiguity and a high rate of change; able to re-prioritize quickly without compromising quality
• Proficiency with modern productivity, scheduling, and travel tools

Ideal Candidate Background

• You have a sense of urgency and value the courtesy of professional responsiveness (this is super important as speed is a form of client service)
• You anticipate needs and solve problems before they become problems; you see around corners
• You are able to adapt on the fly and handle unforeseen developments with ease, without compromising attention to detail and quality
• You strive to be an enabler who gives the leader and the team maximum leverage; there is no job too big, no job too small
• You do what you say you are going to do, when you say you are going to do it
• You continually search for new ideas and means of improvement
