Our teams work remotely but remain highly collaborative, ensuring rapid decision-making and alignment across projects.The Role: Program ManagerThe Program Manager will take ownership of one or more ventures within Emerge, ensuring strategic execution and operational efficiency. This is not a structured, corporate project management role, it requires an entrepreneurial mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to handle different aspects of a business at once.Candidates with backgrounds in investment banking, management consulting, or high-growth startups will find this role particularly relevant, as it involves financial modeling, investor relations, strategic planning, and hands-on business execution.This role requires the ability to work across multiple functions, including:
Fundraising and investment strategy
Business development and partnership management
Marketing, positioning, and growth strategy
