About the Role

EQL Tech is seeking a Program Manager - Strategy & Philanthropic Operations. Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a high-impact, remote role for a strategic generalist who thrives at the intersection of philanthropy, policy, and systems design. You will move fluidly between researching grant opportunities and building complex operational programs from the ground up.

What You'll Do

  • Design and lead 2-3 operational programs per year, managing everything from initial scoping to final deliverables.
  • Build and maintain Social Return on Investment (SROI) models to provide quantitative support for program and grant decisions.
  • Identify and evaluate 3-5 high-potential grant opportunities annually, performing deep-dive research and due diligence.
  • Manage a diverse initiative portfolio across areas such as AI Interpretability, Climate Solutions, Housing, Healthcare, Education, and Big Art.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for internal teams, external partners, and domain expert advisors.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 4 years of experience in a high-growth startup or consulting firm (e.g., McKinsey, BCG, Bain).
  • Sound judgment and the ability to bring structure to highly ambiguous situations.
  • Detail-driven and capable of managing multiple complex programs simultaneously without losing momentum.
  • Executive-level communicator, clear and concise in both written memos and verbal briefings.
  • Genuine interest in systems-level change and innovative philanthropy.

Team & Environment

You'll join a dynamic, flat-structure organization, reporting directly to the CEO. This is a culture where no task is too small and no idea is too ambitious.

Benefits & Compensation

  • True Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere in the United States with an 'all-remote' culture that values results over office hours.
  • Autonomy & Ownership: Agency to set your own pace, manage your own focus, and lead initiatives with a high degree of independence.
  • Mission-Driven Impact: Opportunity to work at the intersection of philanthropy and systems design, backing breakthrough solutions.
  • Broad Focus & Professional Growth: Exposure to a diverse portfolio including AI Safety, Climate Solutions, and Big Art.
  • High-Leverage Environment: Work directly with the CEO and a team of domain experts.
  • Modern Workflows: Utilization of best-in-class digital tools to facilitate asynchronous communication.
  • Competitive salary and total rewards package commensurate with experience.
