As a key team member within the Acceleration & Advisory department, you’ll play a central role in curating a strong pipeline of entrepreneurs, walking alongside alumni in their scaling journey, and advancing strategic partnerships that expand the reach of our programming. You’ll serve as a relational bridge between entrepreneurs, investors, and support organizations, championing collaboration and Kingdom impact.
