Programs Lead — Tribe Global Ventures (Venture Capital)

Full-time · Brisbane-based (hybrid) · Potential for some international travel

The role

We're looking for a Programs Lead to own and deliver the program side of Tribe as if it were their own business — our Global Growth Accelerator, our annual US and UK market expansion missions, our Growth Summit Retreat, and our founder and investor events — plus provide broader operational support to the investment team.

This is an ownership and execution role. You'll own the delivery, quality and outcomes of our programs. We want someone who takes full accountability, builds and improves the systems behind it, and treats the reputation of each program as their own. It's a solo-role responsible for the totality of delivering our programs alongside our investment team who are focussed on our core business of capital raising, investments and portfolio support.

About you

You're an operator and exceptional organiser. You think like an owner: you set the plan, anticipate what's needed, make the call, execute it, and carry it through to a result and reporting. You care about the experience people have with our programs, and you sweat the details because you know they're what makes something feel world-class.

You're commercially minded, resourceful, and comfortable with ambiguity. You move fast, communicate well, love being on the tools getting it all done.

We're ideally looking for someone who is:

- An owner — proactive, accountable, and able to run a function with minimal oversight
- Exceptionally organised and detail-obsessed, with the judgement to know what matters most
- Commercially and operationally sharp — good with budgets, systems, and process
- Experienced in program management, events management, or both
- A solid communicator who genuinely likes people and gets things sorted quickly (phone, email, Zoom)
- Calm and resourceful under pressure, and happy to jump into whatever the team needs
- Has experience working in a small firm (early-stage venture)

Bonus points for any of:



previously managing an accelerator program; running international trade missions; delegation and cohort management; government funding and reporting; engaging corporate sponsors; strong networks in the US or UK.

General Tribe operational support

- Provide broader operational support across the firm: internal systems and tooling, team and office coordination, and process improvement
- Support fund and investor operations as needed (e.g. events, communications, coordination)

What success looks like (first 12 months)

About Tribe Global Ventures

Tribe Global Ventures is a boutique venture capital firm, investing in ambitious ANZ founders scaling their B2B tech ventures into the UK and USA. With a B2B focus, we provide a unique blend of capital and differentiated strategic support. You'll be part of a small team delivering top-tier results for our investors.

About the Global Growth Accelerator

The Global Growth Accelerator by Tribe Global Ventures helps Queensland's most promising B2B tech ventures become investment-ready at the Post-Seed to Series A stages — preparing them for international expansion and institutional capital, and building their competency to transition to scale.

Unlike traditional accelerators focused on pitch training and classroom-style content, ours combines structured workshops, unstructured mentoring, international missions to the UK and USA for deep market immersion, a three-day Growth Summit, introductions, and tailored post-mission support — all designed to help founders build scalable businesses with investor-ready traction.

About our US / UK Missions

Each year we run a Market Expansion Mission to the UK (June) and the USA (October). These take 15–25 founders and investors from across Australia on a week-long immersion in the tech ecosystems of London and Silicon Valley. Across each mission we deliver over 30 curated events on an intense daily schedule. This role designs, schedules and organises the entire week, leveraging our existing networks.
