FAQs

I am confused about the organization or the type of role

- On organisation: If you are interested in one particular sector, go for the organisation working on it! However, most of the times we have seen that candidates are passionate about the nature of the problem (for example, wanting to create impact at scale, or giving back to society in a meaningful way) rather than any particular sector

- On the type of role: For anyone with 0-5 years of work experience, we broadly look for similar skill sets. We expect you to be able to analyse a problem and come up with recommendations for senior leaders and policy makers, manage stakeholders, design a program, write/ present/ communicate well, etc. Go through the relevant roles and see if you have a slight preference. In case you are still confused, our team will help you make a decision after you submit your application.

What do you look for in a candidate?

We are looking for kind, smart, intellectually curious and driven people who want to make a difference. Roughly 80% roles we have are for generalists (i.e., people who can do multiple things - write briefs, design projects, work with stakeholders, etc.) and the rest require some prior specialisation (for example, training in pedagogy or M&E experience). Please carefully read through our values and the job descriptions for each role to learn more.
