Project Manager

We’re looking for a detail oriented, quick learning, operations black belt to help Mulago’s Fellows hit the impact jackpot and to keep our organization running smoothly. This is a key hire to support our Fellows and Operations teams with essential program and project management skills to support our overall mission.

WHAT WE DO

Mulago’s mission is to meet the basic needs of the poor. We do that by funding organizations that have a solution that could go big and a team with the ability to take it there. We search the world for talented leaders with great ideas and recruit the best into our Fellows Program, where we teach them design for impact, strategy for scale, and the skills they need to build a great organization.

THE PROJECT MANAGER POSITION

The Project Manager will shepherd key projects and work streams across Mulago, with a focus on our flagship fellowship program, high-value convenings of grantees and funders, grant management, and general operations. The position reports to Avery Bang, Partner, with some responsibilities managed by Stephanie Scott, Director of Operations.

WHO THRIVES AT MULAGO

You share our funding philosophy and a bias for action over talk. You’re comfortable and flexible with changes in course and circumstances. Humor comes easily to you as a way to relate to and interact with people. You can work hard and smart without a lot of supervision.

We are a small shop. We work continually with new ideas and new founders, so we’ve kept the spirit and energy of a mission-driven start-up. We do our work in teams, and we don’t waste time. Each of us has a core role, and everybody does a bit of everything. That's worked really well for us for a long time. Our team has grown a lot in the past few years. We now find ourselves in the privileged position of imagining an ideal candidate to complement the rest of us. We’re also always looking to add diversity of background, thought, personal journey, and professional experience.
