Full-time

At Unreasonable Group, we believe entrepreneurs building rapidly scalable businesses are our best bet for solving the most significant social and environmental challenges of our time. Every day, our team strives to give these entrepreneurs tackling BFPs an unfair advantage. We do this by connecting entrepreneurs with the networks of mentors, investors, business leaders, policy makers and specialists they need to scale. We also run world class events and programs such as Unreasonable Impact in partnership with Barclays, Unreasonable Goals in partnership with the U.S. State Department, and Project Literacy in partnership with Pearson.

The Manager will be tasked with leading event teams, ensuring they are operating as a well-oiled machine that never drops the ball and fostering a high morale across everyone they lead. This person needs to do well with ambiguity and thrive in fast paced and highly stressful situations, as they are helping to orchestrate many moving people and pieces in a high-stakes environment. This person needs to be a world-class communicator, manager, and doer. WARNING: This job involves significant international travel, as our programs run globally. If that excites you, you should keep reading.
