You'll report to the VP of Programs, with a dotted line to the SVP of Operations, and you'll partner closely with both teams to make sure our systems serve the work effectively. You'll also own a set of operational processes that run on top of those systems

Programs serve three distinct audiences at
Lean In:
the companies and nonprofits that partner with us, the volunteer leaders who run local Lean In groups around the world, and the individuals who participate in our programs. You'll own the systems that support all three — our CRM (HubSpot), our event platform operations, and the automations and communications that connect them. You'll also own the operational work that supports our partners and members directly, from handling member questions to processing reimbursements for our volunteer leaders. The community platform itself is owned by a dedicated team member; Set and enforce data governance standards across Programs and Partnerships, in partnership with the Director of Operations and VP of Programs.
