Today, Foundervine stands as one of the largest and most active accelerator ecosystems, successfully designing and delivering business and investment readiness programmes that empower entrepreneurs. Our track record includes collaborations with leading organisations such as Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, Sainsbury’s, Google, and the UK Government.
At Foundervine, you’ll be joining a small but dynamic team at a pivotal moment in our mission, creating a collaborative and results-driven culture where every team member plays a meaningful role. Our mission to transform society by making innovation accessible to anyone, anywhere, is what fuels us to deliver our best work every day.
Behind the scenes, we operate with the energy, agility, and expertise of a much larger organisation, despite our lean team size. With a strategic presence in the UK, Ghana and soon in the US, we are deeply connected to our core values: action, impact, inclusion, innovation, courage, and integrity.
At Foundervine, we are more than just colleagues, we are a team that genuinely cares about one another. We prioritise well-being, collaboration, and continuous learning ensuring that our team feels valued and empowered. Through regular check-ins, cross-team collaboration, and knowledge-sharing sessions, we create an environment where ideas thrive.
We understand that life happens beyond work, which is why we strive to provide flexibility, especially where it's most needed, ensuring that no one has to choose between professional success and personal well-being. At Foundervine, we don’t just focus on what we’re building, we focus on how we build it and who we build it with. You’re not just an employee, you’re part of something bigger! 🚀
This is a newly created senior role based in Ghana, the first of its kind at this level within our Ghana operations. This hire is designed to strengthen senior leadership within the Programmes function.
We are looking for someone who can lead from the ground up - setting the standard, building a culture of ownership and proactivity, thinking strategically about how programmes serve founders and clients, and operating with credibility both internally and externally.
This role sits within a well-established Programmes team and reports to the Programmes Operational Lead. These roles form the senior programme leadership layer that holds delivery quality, client relationships, and team development across the function.
Programme delivery and quality
You own the end-to-end delivery of your assigned programmes - from design through execution to impact reporting. You are accountable for delivery quality, client satisfaction, risk management, and compliance with contractual obligations. Problems are surfaced and solved at your level. You escalate only what genuinely requires a decision above your authority.
Client and stakeholder management
You are the senior face of Foundervine on your programmes. You build and maintain client relationships with confidence, manage expectations proactively, and understand the commercial context of each engagement.
People leadership
You line manage Programme Associates and Programme Managers on your programmes. You set the standard for what good looks like and hold the team to it.
Strategic contribution
You are not just a delivery manager. You bring insight about what is working, what is not, and what needs to change - at programme level and function level.
