Job description

We are India's leading political consulting organization dedicated to provide high quality professional support for political campaigns. We strongly believe that the nation will best benefit from an enlightened political leadership in the form of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and are proud to have previously contributed in a similar capacity in the momentous election campaign of 2014, 2019,2024 and various subsequent state elections.

- Our work includes envisioning and executing innovative electioneering campaigns, facilitating capacity building of grassroots cadre and shaping governance. We add professional aspects to the strengths of the scores of grassroots workers supporting the Prime Minister and ensure optimal electoral results not as an end in itself but to add to the Prime Minister's vision for a developed India. Our work leverages on-ground activities, data analytics, research and new age media as a force multiplier for the Prime Minister's messages and actions.

- We comprise a diverse group of dedicated individuals including former management consultants, lawyers, engineers, political theorists, public policy professionals and other varied sectors from premier institutes and corporates with the unified objective of meaningfully contributing to the polity of the nation.

About The Role

Associates/Senior Associates are part of election project teams and work closely with internal teams and client representatives to develop political and campaign strategies for the client (political party). They plan and manage the end-to-end execution of political/campaign strategies, coordinate with campaign teams, and manage stakeholder engagements.

During elections, teams interact closely with political leaders, organisers, party functionaries and other stakeholders at the constituency, district, state and national levels. The role involves conducting primary research and on-ground fieldwork to understand constituency-level political, social and electoral dynamics, gathering ground-level insights, and translating these insights into actionable political/campaign strategies and interventions. While this is an interesting proposition and comes with enormous exposure, it also raises expectations around maintaining strict confidentiality, demonstrating exemplary client management skills and, most importantly, delivering results.

Teams provide insights to internal stakeholders into the progress and effectiveness of campaigns through continuous reporting, analysis and field intelligence. The job often requires evening and weekend work, as well as extensive travel.

• 1. Contribute ideas and strategies towards the roll‑out of campaign initiatives
• 2. Possess the ability to project-manage campaign initiatives end-to-end
• 3. Undertake research and present findings towards formulating on-ground initiatives
• 4. Possess high-quality problem-solving and analytical skills and the ability to propose practical solutions for issues
• 5. Have a strong bias for action and ability to deal with ambiguity.
