We are stage agnostic. We invest in seed to venture to growth-stage technology companies, across AI, bio + healthcare, consumer, enterprise, fintech, frontier, games, and companies building toward American dynamism. a16z has $100B+ under management across multiple funds.
We’ve established a team that is defined by respect for the entrepreneur and the company-building process; we know what it’s like to be in the founder’s shoes.

Our team is at the forefront of new technology, helping founders and their companies impact and change the world.
The Role
We are looking for a Program Manager to drive execution across the Global Partnerships team. This role will manage roadshows and LP engagements, coordinate GP and LP availability, and lead projects that span the team. The ideal candidate brings structure to complex logistics, keeps stakeholders and priorities aligned, and ensures that commitments, deliverables, and follow-ups move forward on time.
The ideal candidate is exceptionally organized, anticipates needs before they are voiced, exercises sound judgment with highly sensitive information, and thrives in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment. You see around corners, sweat the details, and operate with a sense of ownership over outcomes, not just tasks.
We are open to candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area. This role requires an in-office presence and flexibility to support travel and time-sensitive needs.

- Manage roadshows and LP events from planning through execution, including schedules, venues, accommodations, transportation, security, briefing materials, and day-of logistics
- Coordinate GP and LP availability across multiple stakeholders, locations, and time zones, proactively resolving conflicts and schedule changes
- Drive the LP engagement cadence by maintaining the engagement calendar and CRM, tracking meetings and commitments, and ensuring timely follow-up
- Coordinate and host LP experiences, ensuring each visit is polished, welcoming, and consistent with the a16z brand
- Drive LP-related deliverables, including fundraising milestones, DDQs, and data-room requests, by managing timelines, coordinating inputs, and guiding materials through review and approval across multiple stakeholders
