Program Manager, Venture Building

About Muditā Studios

Muditā Studios
is a venture studio purpose-built to launch world-class AI-first companies. Backed by a $125M fund, we generate, refine, and rigorously validate dozens of AI startup ideas across massive markets. Once we identify a winner, we pair it with a world-class leader and provide the capital and support to build a category-defining company.

The Role

We're hiring a Program Manager to run the machine that turns ideas into companies. Every venture we build moves through the same path: ideate, validate, build, launch, scale. You own that path. You keep every company moving through its stage, make sure nothing stalls, and give founders and partners a clear read on where things actually stand at any moment.

This is the connective tissue of the studio. You sit across founding teams, engineering, GTM, and the partners, and you're the person who knows what's due, what's blocked, and what's next. When a company hits a wall, you see it before it becomes a fire.

This is an operating role, not a note-taking role. You don't just track the work, you drive it.

What You'll Do

• Own the company-building process end to end and run each venture through its stages, from first validation to launch
• Keep the studio's source of truth accurate. Milestones, owners, deadlines, and status across every company in the portfolio
• Run the operating cadence: planning, standups, milestone reviews, and the loops that keep teams honest about progress
• Spot risk early. Surface blockers, dependencies, and slipping timelines before they cost us weeks
• Turn our playbooks into repeatable systems so every new company we launch starts further ahead than the last
• Give founders and partners clean, current visibility into where each venture stands and what it needs
• Keep our tooling and project structure clean and actually used, not decorative
• Coordinate across founding teams, engineers, GTM, and investment so the right people are moving on the right things

What We're Looking For

• A track record of running complex, multi-workstream programs and keeping them on time without babysitting
• High agency. You see a gap and close it instead of flagging it and waiting
• Sharp operating instincts. You know the difference between a real blocker and noise
• Comfort with ambiguity and constant context-switching. This is a portfolio, not one project
• Strong systems thinking. You build process that scales, not bureaucracy that slows people down
• Fluency with modern project and knowledge tools (ClickUp, Notion, or similar) and a bias toward automating the busywork
• Clear, direct communication that keeps busy people aligned without long meetings

Nice to Have

• Experience inside a venture studio, accelerator, or early-stage startup
• A background that mixes operations, program management, and product or GTM
• Comfort using AI tooling to move faster and cut manual work
• You've built an operating system for a team from scratch, not just inherited one

How We Work

Small team, high ownership, short cycles. Flat structure, low bureaucracy, high trust. We hire senior, then get out of the way. If you want to run one project slowly, this isn't it. If you want to own the operating rhythm of a studio building company after company, it is.
