Job Description

Cross-Functional Program Manager overseeing multi-team initiatives for Tergar International's Operations Blueprint. Focused on supporting 100,000 practitioners through strategic execution and collaboration.

Responsibilities:

  • Own projects from planning through execution, specifically those that involve multiple teams or fall outside existing product scopes.
  • Use our four-tier decision framework and RACI frameworks to ensure every project has a named owner and clear decision rights.
  • Facilitate quarterly and monthly alignment cadences that connect team roadmaps to our three strategic frameworks.
  • Maintain clear tracking systems (Asana) to ensure the Innovation and Operations Council has a real-time view of initiative health, risks, and blockers.
  • Lead high-stakes cross-functional projects such as GDPR/VAT compliance, systems migrations, and grant-related fundraising initiatives.
  • Model and document best practices to help transition project management into an "embedded skill" across the organization by 2027.
  • Identify and implement AI-driven workflow automations to help reach our goal of shifting capacity toward "Transformation" work.

Requirements:

  • 3–7+ years in program management, ideally within a scaling nonprofit or global organization.
  • No formal project management certification (e.g., PMP, CSM) is required. We weight demonstrated, hands-on results over credentials—equivalent practical experience is what matters most.
  • Proven ability to create structure in ambiguous environments and a "bias toward action".
  • Clear, direct, "low-noise" communication skills with the ability to drive accountability across functions.
  • Ability to identify recurring workflow breakdowns and propose practical, simple improvements.
  • Advanced experience with Asana and Notion; a strong interest in utilizing AI tools to automate routine administrative tasks.
  • A commitment to the values of awareness, compassion, and wisdom in how we work together.

Benefits:

  • 200 hours of PTO annually
  • 40 hours of Paid Retreat Time (PRT) annually
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Complimentary access to all Tergar meditation programs
  • Reduced fees for retreats with Mingyur Rinpoche
