Job description

Karriere

Entrepreneurship & Tech Education: Program Manager Education (f/m/d)

At UnternehmerTUM, visions turn into value. Our teams empower innovation enthusiasts to take entrepreneurial action. Together with start-ups and established companies, we drive tech start-ups forward - from the first idea to market leadership. In collaboration with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and entrepreneur Susanne Klatten, we have been supporting future-forward start-ups such as Celonis, Konux, Lilium, inveox and Isar Aerospace since 2002.
At UnternehmerTUM Academy for Innovators, we find and promote the entrepreneurial potential of individuals who shape our future. Every year, we train thousands of students, scientists, leaders, and professionals in intensive learning formats - true to our values: transformative, appreciative, sustainable. Our customers and partners are companies, foundations and public funding partners.
Do you want to join us on our mission to enable individuals to create a better tomorrow? Are you passionate about organizing and executing projects in an educational context? Do you like to hold the strings together in projects and communicate in a multi-stakeholder environment? Are you interested in sustainability, start-ups and innovation? Then become part of our team!

As a Program Manager in our Education team, you become part of a dynamic team and join our mission to enable individuals to create a better tomorrow! Together, we define your responsibilities depending on your skills and interests within the following fields:

• You own the planning and execution of our educational programs — from coordinating venues, catering and materials to preparing pre-, during- and post-checklists that keep everything running smoothly
• You manage participant communication across our programs: onboarding new cohorts, keeping participant data up to date and being the go-to contact for questions and coordination
• You take care of program documentation and administration — maintaining our tools (Notion, Slack, Google Drive), keeping calendars updated and ensuring our folder structures and resources are always in order
• You support budget administration and financial tracking — contributing to monthly reporting, expenditure forecasts and the preparation of contracts for freelancers and trainers
• You build and maintain relationships with external partners and stakeholders, coordinating schedules, managing deliverables and ensuring a smooth collaboration experience
• You explore and apply AI tools — ideally Claude or similar — to automate recurring workflows, improve processes and help us build more scalable program operations
• You support the preparation of funding applications and project proposals — researching requirements, coordinating contributions and ensuring timely submission

• Completed degree in a relevant field — e.g. Business, Education Management, Social Sciences, Innovation or similar
• 2–4 years of experience in project or program management, ideally in an educational or non-profit context
• Effective communication skills in written and spoken English and German (min. C1)
• Structured, reliable and detail-oriented — you manage multiple programs in parallel without losing the thread
• Confident use of tools like Notion, Slack, Google Drive and Excel; familiarity with Salesforce or Miro a plus
• Curiosity for AI tools — ideally first experience with Claude or similar — and an interest in applying AI to automate workflows and build smarter processes in an educational context
• An entrepreneurial hands‑on mindset and genuine interest in leadership, education and the innovation ecosystem
• Experience with EU funding schemes or grant management (e.g. EIT, Horizon, BMBF) a plus

• Generous annual training budget and catalog for internal training, external seminars, conferences, and keynotes.
• Plenty of room for creativity, initiative, and responsibility.
• Unlimited access to our high‑tech workshop "MakerSpace".
• You can find more benefits on our careers page.
• Flexible working hours and the option to work from home enable a good work-life balance.
• Access to TU daycare spots, part-time and parental leave models, childcare allowance.
• Flexible monthly mobility budget via the Moovster app (MVG, Lime, Uber, Jobrad, etc.).
• Extensive sports program (yoga, pilates, mindfulness, CrossFit, Wellpass membership, as well as access to TUM sports offerings).
