Manager, Strategy and Build

GDI is looking for a well-rounded Manager with strong strategic and operational skills to join its Strategy & Build team in South Asia (based out of India) to build and scale the next generation of large-scale social impact solutions and create new approaches to address persistent global development issues. The Manager will work on initiatives within the GDI South portfolio, initially focusing on the Grassroots Circular Waste Collaborative (GCWC) initiative, aiming to improve livelihoods through entrepreneurship in the informal and semi-formal waste sector. The Manager will also help design, build, and launch other GDI’s initiatives to set them up for long-term success by managing research and analysis, and shepherd strategy development; participate in senior-level meetings with experts and partners; develop and manage work plans, workflows, and budgets; and ensure all efforts are implemented for results. GDI managers are expected to exercise a high degree of autonomy and initiative and take on significant responsibility, while working closely with Directors.
