Summary
Austin Jung is an experienced operations and program manager with 11 years building and running mission-driven education and arts organizations in the New York City area. As Studio Manager at BOLD he combines project finance, contract oversight and team leadership—managing billing, collections, and project activation—while previously directing high-impact youth and college-access programs for first-generation and immigrant students. He brings a practical blend of data-informed program management (e.g., driving 90% engagement in mentor/mentee pairs) and hands-on operations from schools to nonprofit partnerships. Comfortable in fast-paced, resource-constrained settings, Austin pairs a background in biology and science education with graduate studies in cinema to bridge analytical rigor and creative problem solving. He’s motivated by closing opportunity gaps for low-income students and has a track record of translating mission into measurable program and financial results.
