The role
We're building program collaborations with other NGOs organisations working toward the same goals, where a joint effort reaches further than either of us alone. You'll find those partners, build the relationship, and turn shared intent into a running program on the ground.
This isn't fundraising. It's partnership-building: understanding what another NGO does well, where we complement each other, and structuring a collaboration that works for both teams.
What you'll do
Map NGOs, foundations, and CBOs in our program areas and find where our strengths complement theirs
Meet NGO leadership, understand their priorities, and propose collaborations worth their time
Structure the deal: who does what, MOUs, timelines, and how success gets measured
Coordinate both teams through implementation and keep everyone accountable to what was agreed
Document outcomes from the field and maintain the partnership pipeline
What we need
1–3 years in the social sector NGO programs, field work, partnerships, or community development
Strong written English you'll draft proposals and MOUs. Non-negotiable.
Credible with an NGO director, useful on a field site
Organised and relentless on follow-up that's most of this job
Graduate; MSW, Social Work, or Development Studies preferred
Willing to travel across Maharashtra. Marathi a plus.
Good to have
Existing relationships in the Maharashtra NGO ecosystem · experience coordinating a program on the ground · MOU/partnership documentation · 12A/80G, FCRA basics
What you get
₹18,000 – ₹25,000/month · field travel and stay covered · ownership of partnerships you build, end to end · direct work with the Director · growth into CSR and government partnerships as we expand
