We work with women, farmers, tribals, and youth across rural development, agriculture, skilling, and economic inclusion, in partnership with 15+ central and state governments.\nOur economic inclusion journey towards serving 25 million Indians spans 10 states and currently reaches over 1.5 million people. Through our incubator, accelerator, and grand challenges, we have supported 200+ social entrepreneurs, including Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees, Earthshot Prize winners, and nationally recognized changemakers.\nFounded with the support of 130+ eminent philanthropists, 40+ corporates, and 15+ foundations, The/Nudge is working towards a poverty-free India, within our lifetime.\nAbout the^delta Prize :\nthe^delta Prize is a platform to draw talent, capital, and public attention towards the most pressing developmental problems in India.\nthe^delta Prize aims to guide markets where they are needed the most, inducing population-scale solutions and innovations that have disproportionate impact on stagnant livelihood opportunities and ecosystems for underserved segments. We research, design and conduct tech-based scale-up competitions to discover and innovate disruptive solutions, and pull in capital to solve the most complex problems in India, faster.\nThis role sits within Nanoenterprise Futures, the^delta Prize's vertical dedicated to India's MSME sector, and leads one of four Grand Challenges within the vertical's flagship initiative: four incentive-driven challenges concentrating catalytic capital against persistent MSME bottlenecks - Ease of Business, Building Discoverability for MSMEs, Strengthening MSME Product Quality, and Unlocking Capital & Credit.\nWho are we solving for?\nthe^delta Prize is focused on building mission-mode, market-led ecosystems that use technology to solve the stagnant challenges facing India's economically excluded populations, populations for whom access to resilient livelihoods remains structurally blocked.\nThis role sits within Future Enterprises, our vertical dedicated to India's MSME sector, and supports the Grand Challenges track of the vertical's flagship initiative. The Grand Challenges are four incentive-driven challenges concentrating catalytic capital against persistent MSME bottlenecks:\nEase of Business: making it simpler to start, run, and stay formal as a small business\nBuilding Discoverability for MSMEs: helping MSMEs be found and trusted by organised buyers, domestic and global\nStrengthening MSME Product Quality: lifting production quality so MSMEs can compete on more than price\nUnlocking Capital & Credit: making the smallest enterprises visible and lendable to formal capital\nEach focus area can have multiple competitions, each of which may range from 12 to 36 months.\nAt the^delta you will:\nJoin an established Challenges team and take ownership of the day-to-day execution that keeps each challenge moving - this is a hands-on delivery role at the centre of live, fast-moving work\nSupport contracting and onboarding: coordinate paperwork, agreements and logistics for partners and contestants as they come on board\nSupport Stakeholder Management: help onboard partners and coordinate ongoing communication with them as directed\nSupport Process Excellence: help run the processes the team has already set up (design, evaluation criteria, jury coordination, etc.) for smooth execution of challenges from announcement to completion\nCoordinate across functions: work with Marketing, Impact, Analytics, Technology and Donor Relations teams to get specific, assigned tasks done on time\nTrack Monitoring & Evaluation data across the Challenges, and flag issues or gaps to the team\nResearch as assigned: primary and secondary research on India's MSME sector to support problem statements the team is developing\nCoordinate logistics and communications for events, convenings and contestant journeys\nMaintain the data structure for the Challenges, keeping information current and accessible to the team\nMove fast across many moving parts at once, this role sits close to the action on live challenges, and priorities will shift as the work does\n(The actual role might evolve slightly based on your relevant experience and the overlap between organisational requirements and your interests.)\nCore abilities & transferable skills:\nStrong execution skills: reliable, organised, and able to get things done without needing every step spelt out\nComfort taking direction and working within processes and frameworks that already exist\nStrong stakeholder coordination skills - professional, responsive, and dependable in day-to-day partner interactions\nA major learner mindset: this is a fast-moving, still-evolving environment, and the ability to pick things up quickly matters more than prior expertise\nHigh comfort with ambiguity and change - priorities and processes will shift as the work progresses\nResearch skills, applied to specific, assigned questions\nBias for action, paired with humility\nApply if you have:\nGraduate or postgraduate degree (a bonus if in a field related to social entrepreneurship, economics, or grassroots market-making)\n3+ years of work experience in high-performing set-ups and intrapreneurial roles\nStrong organisational and coordination skills\nProficiency in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, and attention to detail\nWillingness to work in a fast-paced, start-up environment, joining a team that is already up and running\nA strong desire to make a difference\nComfort with a significant degree of ambiguity in the absence of perfect information\nComfort working with external and internal stakeholder groups\nComfort with nonprofit sector salaries\nWould be great if you:\nUnderstand global and various formats of inducement challenges and designs for large-scale impact\nAre comfortable supporting events and convenings to enable participation\nUnderstand and are interested in developmental economics and the structural realities of India's MSME sector\nBring a tech or data-first lens to your work\nHave supported programmes in the social or impact sector before\nWe aspire to be an inclusive and diverse organisation and encourage qualified individuals, irrespective of their religion, caste, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, or any other dimension of identity, to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6473,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Nonprofits
