Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA) 

New York City (In-Person role)

Help power the engine behind NYC’s most active startup tech accelerator. ERA is an early-stage venture fund and technology accelerator (eranyc.com). Since 2011, we’ve invested in 375+ companies in nearly every major industry. Our program runs with the support of 1,000+ mentors and alumni. We’re looking for an exceptional Platform Associate to make our programs run flawlessly and help founders unlock the full value of the ERA platform. 

Why this role matters

You’ll help founders achieve their primary goal: how to build their companies faster. You’ll design great founder experiences, orchestrate mentors and programming, and connect portfolio teams to the resources that change their trajectory. If you love a fast-paced environment, high ownership, and daily contact with founders and investors, this is it.

What you’ll own 

  • Manage program operations. Own scheduling, logistics, communications, and setup for workshops, mentor 1:1s, office hours, and Demo Day. 
  • Create world-class experiences for founders. Ensure mentors, speakers, and founders walk into the right room at the right time, with the prep and context to maximize impact. 
  • Help founders leverage the mentor network. Maintain an accurate, searchable database. Facilitate mentor-founder connections. 
  • Plan and execute events. Manage venue, run-of-show, speakers, partners, and post-event follow-ups for Demo Day, recruiting, and accelerator events.
  • Support portfolio companies. Field requests from 375+ companies and route them to mentors, perks, partner benefits, and ERA staff; track needs and close the loop.
  • Recruiting and interview operations. Support top-of-funnel sourcing, candidate communications, interview slots, and selection operations. Interview founders alongside the rest of the ERA team.
  • Strengthen and scale the platform. Improve and maintain our community systems (CRM, mentor/portfolio directories) and document SOPs.

You are

  • Operationally excellent. Organized, detail-obsessed, and deadline-driven; you thrive in fast-paced environments.
  • A creative problem-solver. You solve problems quickly and keep moving.
  • Clear and effective in communication. Strong writing and verbal skills to communicate with stakeholders from first-time founders to seasoned investors.
  • Tech forward. Proficiency with modern software platforms and AI tools. 
  • A team player who enjoys collaborating with others.
  • Experience: 2–4 years of professional experience, ideally with exposure to operations, program management, events, or accelerator/startup/VC environments.
  • Curious about startups is a plus. You follow tech, venture, and the NYC ecosystem, and you’re excited to work with founders. 

Tools you’ll use

Google Workspace, Airtable, Notion, Zapier, Slack, Zoom, simple CRMs (e.g., Streak), and event platforms like Luma. 

What we offer

  • Compensation: $75,000–$80,000 base (commensurate with experience)
  • Benefits: Full-time role with full health benefits and 15 days paid vacation.

This is an in-person role based in New York, NY.
