Program Manager

We're Hiring:
Program Manager – Startup Ecosystem | Sanchi Connect (Flexible Location)

Sanchi Connect is looking for a seasoned Program Manager to lead and scale the programs that sit at the heart of everything we do for founders. If you've spent 6+ years in the startup ecosystem — running accelerator cohorts, building incubation programs, or managing high-stakes stakeholder relationships — this is your next big move.
What you'll own:
End-to-end design and delivery of startup programs - from cohort structuring and curriculum to demo days and graduation, owned start to finish, not just executed.
Relationships across the ecosystem - mentors, investors, corporates, and government/institutional partners - keeping every stakeholder aligned and engaged.
The founder experience - making sure every startup in our programs gets real, measurable value and walks away stronger than they came in.
Building from scratch - you'll have the autonomy to design new program formats, improve what exists, and shape how Sanchi Connect scales its impact.

What we're looking for:

6+ years managing programs, ideally within a startup ecosystem — accelerators, incubators, venture platforms, or similar.
A track record of owning programs independently, not just supporting them.
Strong stakeholder management — comfortable in the same week talking to a first-time founder and a seasoned investor.
Someone who thrives on ambiguity and wants to build, not just maintain.
This role is location independent..
If you love the energy of the startup world and want to be the person who makes programs actually work for founders, we'd love to hear from you.
