Description of the mission

About FTW Foundation

FTW (For The Women) Foundation is a non-government organization committed to changing women’s lives through intensive tech-skills training that enables upward career mobility. Since launching in 2018, FTW has upskilled over 600 women, many of whom are now thriving in new tech careers. We are a lean, agile team looking for a self-starter with a passion for women’s empowerment and an appetite for “structured chaos”—the ability to juggle multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.

Role Overview

Reports to : Executive Director

Location : Makati City (Hybrid)

Work schedule and setup : Monday to Friday | Tuesday to Saturday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Job Summary

The Program Operations Officer is the operational backbone of FTW's training programs. You will own the end-to-end execution of our flagship cohort program and lead operations across our expanding program portfolio. This is a high-ownership role built for someone who runs toward complexity, and builds systems designed to scale, and brings out the best in the people around them.

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end operations of FTW's flagship cohort program — from admissions and scholar selection through daily program execution, completion, and employment placement
Manage all logistics, schedules, and coordination with program partners, instructors, and scholars (supported by FTW admin); support the design and delivery of custom programs or events as partnership needs evolve
Build and maintain tracking systems for scholar learning progress, attendance, and performance; monitor instructor delivery and escalate issues before they compound
Extend operational oversight to additional programs as the portfolio grows, standardizing processes and documenting institutional knowledge across every cohort
Track and synthesize post-program outcomes — employment, income progression, alumni data — into reports that serve grant applications, partner reporting, and organizational learning
Build and operationalize FTW's volunteer and mentor management system, from recruitment and onboarding through ongoing coordination and retention
Create and maintain process documentation, playbooks, and templates that allow FTW's programs to scale

Profile

Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's degree in any field. What you've done matters more than what or where you studied.
Experience:
3–5 years in program operations, project management, training delivery, or a closely related function
Demonstrated experience running programs, events, or training initiatives end-to-end — from planning through execution and closeout
Experience managing teams, instructors, vendors, or volunteers in a structured but fast-moving environment
Background in online learning platforms, EdTech, change management, or workforce development is a strong advantage
NGO experience is not required; mission alignment is
Skills:
Operationally excellent: you build systems, not workarounds, and you document what you build
Strong project manager: you track the details, meet deadlines, and proactively surface blockers before they become problems
People-oriented executor: you can direct instructors, coordinate volunteers, and hold stakeholders accountable without being heavy-handed
Comfortable with ambiguity: small-org experience or temperament is a genuine asset here; this role will require you to build infrastructure that doesn't yet exist
Proficiency in Google Workspace; experience with project management tools (Asana or equivalent) is a plus
