Job Description

We're looking for a strategic thinker and doer who believes in building a thriving team and delivering great programs. Someone who can lead our entrepreneurship program portfolio, amplify our impact, and create a culture where people grow together.

This role is for you if you get energized by coaching others, aren't afraid to jump in and do the work alongside your team, and believe that how we get to the finish line matters as much as getting there.

Job Responsibilities & Duties
  • Program Leadership & Delivery
  • Define and execute the Entrepreneurship department's vision in alignment with IHPP's mission, with input from the CEO.
  • Oversee and lead the development of our entrepreneurship portfolio, serving as the account manager (6-8 programs per year), ensuring high-quality, participant-centered delivery.
  • Lead curriculum design using human-centered approaches, understanding that different beneficiaries require different solutions, not the same playbook.
  • Ensure program implementation quality while allowing flexibility for creative, responsive programming.
  • Care deeply for the communities we serve and never sacrifice quality for convenience.
  • Manage and monitor program impact, leading discussions on learning and continuous improvement.
  • Coordinate with M&E to ensure programs achieve expected outcomes and budgets are used effectively.
  • Fundraising & Stakeholder Relationships
  • Support fundraising efforts, including grant writing, networking, and donor engagement, in coordination with the CEO.
  • Build and maintain relationships with funders and stakeholders, aligning program goals with funding priorities.
  • Collaborate across departments to ensure cohesion and excellent delivery of our offerings.
  • Financial Responsibility & Operations
  • Review and advise on the department's budget to ensure efficient resource allocation.
  • Ensure grant management and donor compliance across programs.
  • Proactively identify risks and challenges, developing strategies to mitigate them.
  • Team Leadership & Culture
  • Own the full scope of head-of-department responsibilities for your team: managing performance, supporting career growth, driving retention, coordinating training, and ensuring your people have what they need to succeed.
  • Lead and develop a team of program managers and a communications coordinator, providing coaching, feedback, and opportunities for growth.
  • Foster a supportive, non-hierarchical team culture where people feel empowered to step up, step in for each other, and bring their whole selves to work.
  • Advocate for your team, understand their current situation, and support their well-being and professional development.
  • Encourage a culture of constructive problem-solving and empower your team to take initiative.
  • External Relations & Communications​
  • Identify opportunities to raise IHPP's external profile—positioning the organization as a thought leader within the ecosystem and ensuring that impact stories are captured, documented, and shared.
  • Guide and coach our communications counterparts in understanding and conveying the impact of our work.
  • Represent IHPP and the Entrepreneurship department with credibility, drawing on ecosystem knowledge and stories of impact.
