The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated Associate to support the Transaction Management of the Skills Outcomes Fund (SOF), a ₹530 crore outcomes-based financing programme established in partnership with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and the Government of India.

  • Support the development of the programme's safeguarding framework and grievance redressal processes, and support the safeguarding committee in the investigation and resolution of any incidents.

  • Support the development and maintenance of a common communications framework, including agreed messaging, terminology and stakeholder communication protocols, to ensure consistent representation of the programme.
  • Support resource mobilisation for the programme, including preparing funder-facing investment materials, coordinating engagement with prospective domestic and international philanthropic funders, and supporting funder due diligence.

3. MEL & Verification Partner Management

  • Support the selection and onboarding of the independent third-party verification (MEL) partner, and coordinate day-to-day engagement with the partner.
  • Track the verification partner's outputs and outcome-verification batches against agreed timelines, flagging delays or quality issues as needed.
  • Support supervision of the verification partner's on-ground verification activities, and coordinate dispute resolution processes in cases of evaluation challenges.
  • Monitor the verification partner's performance against agreed service levels, and support periodic reporting on MEL outputs to Executive and Steering Committee.

4. Learning and Institutionalization

  • Support the design of systems-strengthening measures that enable future institutionalisation, including innovation pilots and technology-enabled monitoring and verification systems.
  • Support the documentation and synthesis of learnings from the programme’s design and early implementation, translating implementation experience into practical insights for programme improvement.
  • Coordinate with the Knowledge Partner to facilitate timely sharing of programme information, implementation updates and operational learnings, and contribute to knowledge products that document the Fund's design and approach.

5. Programme Administration & Financial Management

  • Undertake review of financial outcome-payment calculations, and support administration and processing of outcome-linked funding in accordance with approved calculations, contractual terms, donor restrictions and agreed fund-flow mechanisms.
  • Support financial reporting to funders, maintenance of accounting records, reconciliations, financial controls, and compliance with applicable funding restrictions and contractual requirements.
  • Monitor financial performance, fund utilisation, exceptions and control risks; support preparation of periodic financial insights and escalate material variances to the Senior Manager on the team.
