ASPIRe is looking for a Program Management Intern to support our global Accelerator for social entrepreneurs. This role focuses on helping deliver high‑quality program experiences, supporting Mission Teams and Fellows, and ensuring smooth coordination across a global, distributed team.

You will support core accelerator activities such as project coordination, event preparation, documentation, and progress tracking. You will also contribute to learning and experimentation around new AI-based tools and approaches that strengthen how Fellows reflect, plan, and scale their impact—working closely with the team to capture insights, organize outputs, and improve day‑to‑day program processes. This is a hands‑on role for someone who is organized, thoughtful, and motivated by contributing to meaningful social change while learning how global programs are designed and run.

The application deadline for this role is 3rd April 2026 at 11:59 PM GMT+7.

• Assist with planning and running key activities and events, including workshops and global convenings.
• Support program operations by organizing documentation, tracking progress, and helping teams stay aligned.
• Support the use of an AI‑enabled tool within the accelerator by helping organize outputs, track engagement, document learnings, and support smooth day‑to‑day implementation in collaboration with the team.

• Entrepreneurial Quality: Compelled to take creative initiative and ownership (e.g. founding an organization or company, starting a movement, or re-shaping the work of an existing organization). Demonstrates relentless and realistic how-to-thinking and passion for seeing their ideas come to life. 
• Understanding and Belief in the Everyone a Changemaker: Understands and believes the Everyone a Changemaker vision at a gut level. To be able to innately ‘get’ this, candidates should have a broad and inquisitive intellectual and a thinking pattern that connects the dots between historical trends and current social context. 
• Emotional and Social Intelligence: Ability to work efficiently and respectfully in teams, putting organizational/team goal first (personal glory second). 
• Ethical Fiber: Exceptionally strong ethical behavior. Is self-reflective and has strong empathy skills. Trustworthy. 
• Self-Definition: The person expects that changing the world in big ways and on a continental scale is what he/she will do in life.
