About TechBuffalo
Founded in 2020, TechBuffalo is a nonprofit talent-driven economic development organization. We are building a sustainable, inclusive, and accessible tech ecosystem by creating the talent density needed for companies to thrive in Western New York.
TechBuffalo is seeking a strategic, highly organized, and mission-driven PowerUpTech Program Manager to lead the execution and strategic evolution of PowerUpTech, our flagship internship and early-career talent program.
PowerUpTech transforms individual internships into a shared regional experience – bringing interns together across dozens of companies for shared professional growth, mentorship, and community-building that creates lasting ties and strengthens Buffalo's ability to attract and retain top talent.
This role is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of the program : operational execution, talent experience, alumni engagement, employer satisfaction, and continuous improvement. You will work closely with students, colleges and universities, employers, ecosystem partners, and internal teams to ensure PowerUpTech delivers real outcomes and operates as Buffalo's early-career talent engine.
You are equal parts program architect and operator – someone who can zoom out to see the system strategy and zoom in to make sure the details work.
What You'll Do
Program Strategy, Design & Execution
- Own the execution and evolution of PowerUpTech as a year-round talent system – including extensions of recruitment, candidate preparedness, mentorship, and a digital platform to host it all.
- Translate TechBuffalo's talent strategy into clear program design, timelines, and participant experiences.
- Identify gaps, friction points, and opportunities across the talent journey and proactively design improvements.
- Ensure PowerUpTech remains scalable, employer-relevant, and aligned with regional workforce needs.
