Job Description

Role: Senior Manager – Resource Mobilisation & Partnerships, Mumbai

Experience: 10+ years

Salary: 25 to 30 LPA

The Visiom

We believe that the most enduring social change doesn't come from a single organization or a one-time grant. It comes from the quiet, rigorous work of aligning resources with human potential. While we are a relatively young foundation, we carry a legacy that has always viewed wealth as a trust to be managed for the greater good.

We aren't looking for a fundraiser in the traditional sense; we are looking for a strategic steward. Your role is to build a bridge between the vast CSR and philanthropic capital residing in India's corporate and global institutions and the lived realities of the communities we serve. This is a mandate to move beyond compliance-based CSR toward deep-impact co-building—a nurturance that respects the dignity of the individual and the wisdom of the community.

Key Responsibility Areas

  1. Securing Patient & Catalytic Capital
  • Counter standard one-year CSR cycles by securing multi-year commitments from trendsetting CSR leaders, Indian and global foundations, and UHNIs.
  • The Goal: Unlock patient capital that provides focus areas the necessary runway to achieve tangible, sustainable shifts.
  1. Architecting Action Coalitions
  • Design multi-stakeholder coalitions that unite private capital, technical experts, and implementation partners to address complex challenges (e.g., embedding wellbeing cultures in educational institutions or building rural economic resilience).
  • The Goal: Create a force-multiplier effect where our foundation’s presence acts as a signal of quality and trust, inviting other partners into the fold.
  1. Scaling Through Government Integration
  • Integrate specialized programs into existing central and state government delivery systems (such as education, sports departments, or health missions) to achieve national scale.
  • The Goal: Ensure innovations expand beyond boutique pilots to become part of the national fabric.

Values in Action

  • The Spirit of Trusteeship: Maintaining accountability to supporters while remaining primarily dedicated to the people whose lives we aim to transform.
  • Data with a Soul: Valuing rigorous metrics like Social Return on Investment (SROI) without letting data obscure human stories.
  • Cultural Fluency: Navigating India's diversity with equal ease—respecting the formal protocols of government offices and the aspirations of rural women and youth.

Who You Are

  • 10+ Years of Relevant Experience: A background in Development Finance, Strategy, or Collaborations, or experience leading partnerships at a major Indian or global foundation.
  • The Bridge-Builder: Cultural agility to represent our work with humility and authority. Ability to speak with equal clarity and conviction when addressing quarterly returns with a CEO or social inclusion with a District Collector.
  • An Entrepreneurial Mindset: A track record of questioning standard program structures to make initiatives more efficient and community-centric.
  • Relational Gravity: Understanding that enduring partnerships in India are built on trust, presence, and shared time, not just slide decks.
