Our prior Program Manager has moved up to the role of Chief Programs Officer on our executive team. As such, we are looking for a deeply impact-motivated Program Manager to run our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program. In this role, you will train, advise, and pair exceptional potential founders through a twice-annual, two-month training program. This culminates in supporting the founders through a seed fundraising round and the launch of new charities delivering exceptionally cost-effective programs at scale across global development.

Our program has incubated more than 40 new charities over the past five years, with many receiving recognition from charity evaluators such as GiveWell and Animal Charity Evaluators as field-leading organisations.

IMPORTANT: This is a summarised version of the job advert for CharityJob's purposes. Clicking 'Apply' will take you to the complete and detailed version on our website, where you'll also be able to apply.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program is a twice-a-year intensive training program enabling cohorts of 8-16 exceptionally talented international entrepreneurs and nonprofit professionals to launch outstandingly cost-effective, evidence-based new nonprofits in the space of two months. 

The program chiefly consists of a twice-annual sequence.

• Preparing the upcoming cohort and running the initial book club where participants deep dive into our handbook and the recommended idea reports

• The two-month program itself, which includes a 2+ week in-person section and consists of training and coaching participants to select co-founders and ideas

• Post-program support to the new founders, providing ongoing guidance and facilitating connections with our networks of mentors and alumni.

• Evaluation and improvement work for the program itself,  and the post-program support and evaluation plus improvements period. In between, the team 

The Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program team chiefly consists of ~two FTE preparing and running the program and  interacting regularly with the recruitment team (for finding and selecting the ideal program candidates), the research team (for selecting and adapting the ideal charity ideas for the program participants), and the operations team (for supporting the incubated projects immediately upon launch through the program). This role reports to Samantha, our Chief Programs Officer, and works closely together with Steve, the second Program Manager who focuses mostly on participant training and coaching.

SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES

The exact %s of these will depend on what will be most impactful and the interests and skill areas of the successful candidate, but will likely look something like this:

Direct Program Management - 40%

• During the preparation phase:

  • Clearly and proactively managing timelines and communications with internal staff, external partners, and program participants

  • Improving systems such that running the program becomes more efficient and effective round over round

• During the program phase for 8 weeks twice a year (February to March and August to September):

  • Facilitating training sessions  - discussions, presentations, workshops - with participantsbased on best practices

  • Providing key feedback on participant project work on short timelines, including on materials such as cost-effectiveness analyses, geographic assessments, theories of change, budgets, pilot plans etc.

  • Mentoring participants directly in 1:1 calls and chats

  • Guiding participants through two intense in-person weeks in our London office, including in their co-founder and charity idea testing and decisions

• Towards the end and immediately following the program:

  • Helping participants develop our raw researched top nonprofit ideas into organisations ready to implement a first pilot within mere months of graduating

  • Advising participants on key decisions regarding their charity and providing encouragement and support to get their project proposals across the finish line in time for the seed network funding circle to award seed grants

  • Connecting graduates with suitable mentors from our network and identifying, engaging, and onboarding new mentors

Alumni/Community Management & Development - 40%

• Identifying, championing, and, where suitable, delegating post-program support initiatives that would improve charity outcomes (e.g., speed, likelihood, and size of impact)

• Creating opportunities for connection, collaboration, and cross-learning of our growing alumni and extended community

• Managing a growing extended community of mentors, advisors, and service providers that could support our charities at different stages of their development (e.g., seed, pilot, scale-up, external evaluation)

• Managing shared digital knowledge and communication bases like our resource hub and 300+ member slack community

• Evaluating opportunities and focusing on the most impactful ones

Program Improvement / M&E - 20%

• Carrying out and improving our internal program monitoring & evaluation:

  • Collecting and assessing feedback from participants and alumni

  • Prioritising areas for improvement

  • Brainstorming and deciding on solutions

  • Implementing or delegating improvements

• Identifying priority gaps in program curriculum and structure based on M&E, proactive research, and later charity outcomes

• Designing or adapting existing content, including applied projects, workshops, or written material, to support program goals

FUTURE GROWTH TRAJECTORIES

This is a senior role within AIM, but future growth and expertise development trajectories for excelling hires could look like:

• Focusing on charity strategy development and advising: a hire with more experience and expertise in launching, piloting, and scaling could play a more active hand in revamping our content and mentoring charities on their strategies from the outset; i.e. advising closely on plans, giving more feedback on early project plans, mentoring directly post-program, etc.

• Leaning into building out a thriving alumni ecosystem: optimising our post-program coordination, expanding our partnership work, spending more work on post-program content and community, coordinating our networks of alumni and mentors, creating digital/in-person events, and other strategies to help our charities and their staff reach & expand their potential

• Becoming an expert in M&E: playing a heavier role in the impact assessment & optimisation of Charity Entrepreneurship as the key impact arm of AIM. This would involve more collaboration with our research and recruitment teams to improve our systems and feedback loops, and/or our M&E specialist working to create early internal evaluations of our charities and later external evaluations

• (At some point) going through our Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program themselves as a participant, bringing all the built skills and expertise to bear in their own nonprofit

ABOUT YOU

The role is most suitable for a mid-level professional (3-5+ years of experience) with a background in running programs or nonprofit organisations. An ideal candidate may bring experience in launching and implementing new or early-stage programs or in conducting earlier stage intervention research or monitoring & evaluation work, particularly in LMIC contexts.

Each stage typically takes 1-2 weeks from the end of the application deadline, and we hope to make an offer within ~8 weeks of the application deadline. Ideally, the candidate will begin onboarding as soon as possible after an offer is made. We strongly prefer candidates to join the team by January 2025, but we would consider a different date for an ideal candidate.
