Solve Education! is hiring a Program Manager who can operate at a high standard in a demanding, fast-moving, and execution-focused environment. This role requires more than coordination — it calls for leadership, strategic oversight, and the ability to deliver complex programs under pressure.

You’ll be responsible for how Solve Education!’s programs are designed, implemented, and evaluated. From strategy development to real-time problem-solving, this role covers full-cycle program management, stakeholder engagement, and performance tracking — all with minimal supervision and tight timelines. This is a position for someone who is ready to lead by doing, not waiting for direction.

Before You Apply

This role is not light, routine, or heavily guided. You’ll be expected to make decisions with incomplete information, move quickly across multiple priorities, and ensure program success with little margin for error. You must stay calm under pressure, take full ownership of outcomes, and deliver measurable results — even when requirements shift mid-week or feedback requires immediate turnaround.

If you’re seeking a role that will stretch your leadership capacity, sharpen your execution instincts, and accelerate your growth — and you’re prepared to meet high expectations — we want to hear from you.

• 3–5 years of experience in program management, project management, or equivalent leadership roles.
• Proven ability to lead complex projects independently with high accountability.
• Excellent written and spoken English (interviews will be conducted in English).
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with experience managing multiple priorities under tight deadlines.
• Familiarity with Google Workspace, project management software, and reporting tools.
• High attention to detail, discipline, and the ability to make sound decisions under pressure.
