Lead Program Manager

Lead Program Manager Location: New York

Turn Complexity Into Momentum

MrBeast operates at a scale and speed where clarity is a competitive advantage. With multiple high-impact initiatives running in parallel across content, brands, partnerships, and new businesses, execution depends on strong connective tissue across teams.

The Program Manager role exists to build the systems that will serve as that connective tissue. You will bring structure, sequencing, and visibility to complex initiatives so leadership and teams can move fast with confidence.

This is not a passive coordination role. It's for someone who takes ownership, anticipates problems before they surface, and helps the organization operate at a higher level as it scales.

The Role

As Program Manager, you will sit at the center of cross-functional execution. You'll work closely with senior leadership to translate priorities into clear plans, ensure teams are aligned on sequencing and ownership, and keep initiatives moving forward without unnecessary friction.

Your role will help ensure strategy turns into action, and action turns into results. This is an ideal position for someone who combines strong judgment, operational rigor, and a bias toward execution.

What You'll Do

• Own cross-functional planning and execution for major initiatives across content, brand, partnerships, and new business efforts
• Build and maintain integrated roadmaps that reflect priorities, dependencies, and realistic sequencing
• Create visibility for leadership into progress, risks, and tradeoffs
• Identify execution gaps early and drive resolution across teams
• Partner with senior leaders to support prioritization and decision-making
• Run operating rhythms that keep teams aligned without slowing them down
• Translate ambiguous goals into clear execution plans and accountability
• Improve how the organization plans, tracks, and executes work as it scales
• Leverage modern tools (including AI-powered workflows) to increase efficiency and reduce manual overhead
• Act as a trusted operator who can own problems end-to-end and drive outcomes

What You'll Bring

• 6-10+ years of experience in program management, operations, or cross-functional execution roles
• Strong analytical and structured thinking, with the ability to frame ambiguous problems
• Proven ability to manage multiple complex initiatives simultaneously
• Comfort operating in fast-moving, high-growth environments
• Clear communicator who can work effectively with creatives, operators, and executives
• High ownership mentality with strong opinions, loosely held
• Experience building or refining operating cadences, planning systems, or workflows
• Fluency with modern productivity and AI tools to accelerate execution
• Bonus: experience in media, entertainment, technology, or creator-led businesses

Why MrBeast

This role offers deep exposure to senior leadership, high-impact initiatives, and the inner workings of a rapidly scaling organization. You'll develop a broad understanding of how the business operates while taking on real ownership and responsibility.

If you're motivated by solving complex problems, enabling teams to move faster, and operating close to the core of the business, this role offers uncommon scope and learning velocity.
The target total compensation ranges from $150,000 to 210,000, an employee equity plan grant, bonus, plus comprehensive benefits.
