Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
Solve Education! is seeking a Program Manager who is strategic, execution-oriented, and thrives in complexity. This role is designed for a high-performing professional who can translate vision into action, manage multi-stakeholder projects, and lead with clarity, ownership, and adaptability.
If you are a proactive leader who can juggle priorities, think systematically, and drive impact in dynamic settings, we invite you to join our mission to make high-quality education accessible to all.
Before You Apply
This is not a routine or comfort-zone role. The Program Manager position at Solve Education! operates in a fast-paced, mentally demanding environment where expectations are high and resources are often limited. You will need to lead under pressure, navigate ambiguity, and make decisions with limited direction.
We are not looking for someone to simply follow instructions—we are looking for someone who anticipates challenges, takes initiative, and moves programs forward with discipline and urgency. If you require highly structured workflows and detailed step-by-step guidance, this may not be the right fit.
However, if you are energized by challenge, quick to adapt, and driven to make a meaningful impact, this position offers significant growth, ownership, and purpose.
