What are we solving for?

We are solving for households in poverty who are also financially and socially vulnerable through a targeted, multi-faceted, and sequenced model called the graduation approach, which has demonstrated that we can durably pull households out of poverty.

At The/Nudge Institute, we have been piloting this program for the past 3 years and are now scaling it across multiple states. Our purpose is to enable the most excluded individuals to become contributing members of the economy. We will :

• Enable government to adopt by providing research, design, and implementation support
• Continue to iterate on the program design to create impact at scale through our own implementations
• Support more NGOs in adopting graduation approach by offering technical expertise and capacity building
• Build evidence on graduation approach to nudge governments to adopt at-scale
• Develop technology solutions that enable NGOs and governments to adopt and implement the program at scale & with quality

Position Overview :

What are some of the principles/ approaches we use?

• Human centered design (thoughtful, action oriented, experimental & iterative process) with a gender lens (unbiased and reflective approach)
• Systems thinking (analytical, stakeholder oriented and holistic)
• Strategic planning (result oriented, logical & coherent with clearly defined outcomes, grounded in current realities)

What will you do?

We are hiring an Associate Manager, Product Planning Feedback and Adoption to independently own planning, adoption and feedback workstreams across multiple state programs. The person will translate program priorities into measurable plans, ensure that product interventions and tools are used effectively, and build feedback loops that turn field experience into product and operating improvements.

This role combines hands-on program management with analytical and strategic ownership. The Associate Manager will work closely with State Ops, Product, Technology, Insights, Livelihood, Learning and Development, and program leadership. The role requires the ability to facilitate decisions, identify risks early and drive actions to closure with limited supervision.

Key responsibilities:

• Planning and program visibility
  • Strengthen governance. Design weekly, fortnightly and monthly review rhythms that result in clear decisions, owners and next steps.
  • Strengthen collaboration between State Operation teams and Central Product teams through a regular cadence.
