About the job
Program Manager
We are hiring a Program Manager for our growing team!
Lumiere Education | Introduction
Lumiere Education is a rapidly growing Edtech company focused on making Oxford-tutorial-like experiences possible for students around the world. The flagship Lumiere Research Scholar program allows students to work directly with a Ph.D. student on the development of independent research, explore areas of interest beyond the classroom, and get a step ahead for college and grad school. Lumiere is committed to providing educational excellence and the company’s research mentors represent the very pinnacle of their field, including Rhodes Scholars, Stanford PhDs, and researchers whose work has been cited in publications like the Economist & BBC.
About the Lumiere Team
As a young, driven group of professionals, the Lumiere team believes in hard work and creative problem-solving. We recognise the need to support each other in achieving our growth goals. Being results-driven, we have benefitted immensely from having quantitative metrics in place to assess our individual development and that of the larger team. We’re also a rather fun bunch (even if we do say so ourselves) and enjoy celebrating each other and our wins!
About the position
As a Program Manager, you will work directly with Lumiere’s program operations team and the directors to:
- Oversee the selection and interviewing of new students
- Coordinate with students, faculty and parents during the Lumiere Research Scholar Program to ensure students have a positive experience and successfully complete the program within the given timeframes
- Identify and proactively problem-solve issues that mentors and students face during the program
- Develop systems for more effective management of the research program
In addition to managing a cohort of students, each team member works on an additional workstream/project, which is usually discussed and decided upon their joining. As a growing company, we believe in team members collaborating on different workstreams with a growth mindset. This is also an opportunity for you to explore other interests and have more dynamic work experiences!

- Bachelor’s degree from a top university
- Excellent spoken and written English
- Strong organizational skills
- International experience (e.g. having studied, lived or worked in international contexts) is a plus
- Passion for working with young people and providing opportunities for research-based learning
Benefits:

- Individualized mentorship & career coaching from founders
- Growth opportunities in rapidly scaling start-up
- Network-building opportunity with world-class academic and business leaders
- Flexible work hours with 100% remote work
- Unlimited paid time off

Location:
- We are a virtual-first team, but we prefer that team members are located between timezones GMT +2 to GMT +8
