We are hiring for a Founders Office role- someone to work closely with the Change Engine's leadership team. In this role, the candidate is required to prioritise and drive several internal and external initiatives, including running and operating our cohort programs, building the non profit ecosystem, interfacing with investors, organising workshops and events etc.

In the Founders office role, you will get an opportunity to work hands-on with our incubated non profits and support them in their scale journeys. We are quite a small team and you will get considerable independence to plan and execute things to meet the objectives.

Responsibilities:

• A role where you work directly with the leadership team to help build and grow new initiatives around helping non profits
• Source and evaluate potential non profits for the ACE Impact cohort, identifying high-potential organizations that align with Change Engine's focus areas
• Assist in building data-backed investment thesis and preparing detailed funding memos to support decision-making and stakeholder communication.
• Manage and support the ACE Impact cohort, ensuring smooth execution of programs.
• Prepare preliminary briefs on potential nonprofit organizations for selection and partnerships
• Support marketing efforts to promote ACE's initiatives, including outreach campaigns to attract high-quality applicants and building thought leadership
• Organise and coordinate mentorship sessions, workshops, and networking events
• In reality, this role doesn't come with a definition or a checklist of job responsibilities

Qualifications

• 2-3 years of experience in nonprofits, consulting, policy research, impact investing, or related sectors
• Entrepreneurial, passionate and go-getter
• Strong analytical skills and excellent execution skills to manage multiple priorities effectively
• Be nimble enough to thrive in a fast-changing environment yet being organised and detail-oriented to ensure nothing falls off the cracks
• Ability to think creatively and contribute ideas to enhance organizational strategies.

What's in it for you:

• Work together with a team from MIT, ISB, IIT, and other top institutions
• The chance to work closely with India's best entrepreneurs and high-impact non profits
• Operate within flexible structures, flat hierarchies, and short response times, working alongside motivated and driven colleagues
• Gain unmatched exposure to the non profit ecosystem, investment processes, and the art of scaling innovative non profits
