Program Manager West - bETA Accelerator

About Us

New Majority Capital Foundation (NMCF) is a mission-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to eliminating persistent wealth gaps across the United States. We believe in the transformative power of entrepreneurship to create generational wealth and bridge the ownership divide.

Our flagship initiative, bET, is a 10-week Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) accelerator that equips underrepresented entrepreneurs with the skills, network, and resources to acquire, operate, and scale small businesses. Fellows receive training, mentorship, post-program support, and assistance with access to capital.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly capable and adaptable Program Manager (PM) West to lead the successful delivery of bETA across our target cities on the West coast and Southwest region of the US. The ideal candidate will be based in Los Angeles to administer local and regional hybrid programming. While an accelerator is running, this will require evening hours at least twice per week. This is a hands-on role requiring strong organizational skills, excellent communication, and the ability to coordinate moving pieces in a fast-paced environment.

You’ll work closely with NMCF leadership, faculty, business advisors, mentors, and partners to ensure the smooth program execution from recruitment to graduation. You’ll also help build and strengthen partnerships within local ecosystems to support our fellows’ success.

What You Bring

• 3-5+ years in program management, accelerator/incubator operations, entrepreneurial education, or classroom management.
• Proven ability to work in a diverse team environment and manage multiple tasks efficiently and effectively
