Program Manager, PGP Forge | Mesa School of Business
Bengaluru
About the Role
We are looking for a Program Manager who will play a key role in driving the success of our academic and career preparation programs. The Program Manager will be responsible for managing program operations, coordinating with internal teams and external stakeholders, and ensuring a high-quality experience for students across their journey at MESA.
This role requires strong ownership, operational excellence, and the ability to work cross-functionally to deliver programs effectively.
Key Responsibilities
Program Operations & Delivery
Own the end-to-end execution of assigned programs, ensuring smooth delivery across all program milestones.
Coordinate with faculty, mentors, and internal teams to ensure program schedules, sessions, and activities are executed seamlessly.
Manage program calendars, timelines, and operational workflows.
Student Experience & Engagement
Act as a key point of contact for students throughout their program journey.
Ensure students receive timely communication, support, and guidance.
Track student progress, engagement, and participation across program activities.
Cross-functional Coordination
Work closely with admissions, operations, faculty, and career teams to ensure alignment across program delivery.
Coordinate logistics for sessions, workshops, events, and program activities.
Support initiatives that enhance program quality and student outcomes.
Career Preparation & Industry Exposure
Support initiatives that help students prepare for internships and career opportunities.
Coordinate industry interactions, workshops, and career readiness sessions.
Work with internal teams to ensure students are prepared for placements and industry engagements.
Program Tracking & Improvement
Monitor program performance and student feedback to identify areas for improvement.
Maintain program documentation, trackers, and operational records.
Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance program effectiveness.
Who We’re Looking For
3 to 6 years designing and running learning programs: education, ed-tech, impact fellowships, accelerators, or similar. You have built curriculum, not only administered it.
Evidence you've shipped a program that learners completed and valued. We will ask what you designed, what broke, and what you changed.
AI-native working style. You already use AI tools daily across your own work and have opinions about where they genuinely help learning and where they don't.
Strong stakeholder management: you can hold faculty, mentors, students, and internal teams to one plan without drama.
Ability to run multiple workstreams and drive execution independently in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
High ownership and comfort with ambiguity. Batch one of anything is messy; you find that energising rather than stressful.
Excellent written and verbal communication, for students, faculty, and industry partners alike.
Why Join Mesa
Work closely with founders, faculty, and industry leaders.
Help shape programs that prepare students for real-world careers.
Be part of building a new model of business education.
