Job Description

Programme Manager converting Wadhwani Foundation’s venture-development interventions into structured, repeatable products. Designing playbooks, sector sprints, alumni pathways, and scalable delivery models.

Responsibilities:

  • Create playbooks for each sprint type so delivery quality does not depend on which Sprint Operator runs it
  • Design and productize the SMB Community and peer network model into a defined, repeatable format
  • Design the Alumni Engagement pathway, including repeat sprints and a paid conversion model for ventures exiting the core programme
  • Build Sector Focus Sprints as standalone products across areas including Defence Manufacturing, Food & Agro, and EV & Clean Tech
  • Convert ad hoc or one-off interventions across hubs into standardized, reusable products with clear scope, inputs, outputs, and effort
  • Apply analytical methods to product design by sizing demand, structuring frameworks, and validating assumptions
  • Build and maintain a network of external service providers relevant to sector sprints
  • Apply consulting-style structured problem solving to ambiguous and undefined programme areas

Requirements:

  • 05-07 years of work experience
  • Background in management consulting, or Chartered Accountant with strong exposure to business problem-solving
  • Strong grounding in management consulting problem-solving frameworks, including structuring, hypothesis-driven analysis, and MECE-style breakdowns
  • Demonstrated experience building frameworks, playbooks, or productized service offerings
  • Strong analytical and structuring ability; comfortable working from ambiguity to a defined product
  • Existing or buildable network of relevant service providers and experts
  • Ability to work independently in a remote, build-from-scratch capacity
