About the Function

The MakeMyTrip Foundation is the philanthropic and CSR arm of MakeMyTrip, Indias leading travel company. We exist on a simple conviction: tourism should enrich the places and communities it touches - never deplete them. Our mission is to make Indias tourist destinations more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive, by nurturing the local communities and natural ecosystems that make these places worth travelling to.

We work hand-in-hand with regional NGOs, environmentalists, government bodies, socially conscious hotel partners, and eco-volunteers across the country. Our programmes span afforestation and green cover, sustainable water management, responsible waste disposal, marine and coastal ecosystem preservation, community-based tourism, sustainable livelihoods, education, and disaster relief and rehabilitation.

About the Role

We are looking for a Deputy Manager, CSR to lead the execution, monitoring, and reporting of our CSR and community development initiatives. This role will act as the key connector between the office and the field, working closely with implementation partners, visiting project sites regularly, and ensuring programmes are delivered with quality, transparency, and measurable impact.

This is a role for someone who can independently manage projects, strengthen partner relationships, monitor progress against outcomes, and present clear insights to leadership. The ideal candidate will be comfortable balancing on-ground execution with structured reporting and stakeholder management.

• Conduct regular field visits to project sites to monitor progress, verify implementation, and gather feedback from communities and partners.
• Track project outputs and outcomes against defined indicators, and support baseline studies, impact assessments, and third-party evaluations.
• Prepare high-quality progress reports, dashboards, and presentations for management, trustees, and statutory CSR reporting.
• Maintain accurate project documentation, MIS, and fund-disbursement records in line with governance and compliance requirements.
• Manage stakeholder engagement across communities, government and district authorities, hotel and tourism partners, and volunteers.
• Support the identification and design of new initiatives, partner due diligence, and review of project proposals.
• Contribute to volunteering drives, awareness campaigns, and disaster-relief efforts as needed.
• Provide guidance and coordination support to junior team members, wherever applicable.

What we are looking for

• Strong understanding of CSR programme implementation and community-based projects.
• Proven ability to independently manage NGO partners and implementation agencies.
• Hands-on experience in project monitoring, impact assessment, and field reviews.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; regional language proficiency is a plus.
• Strong reporting, presentation, and storytelling skills, with the ability to translate field realities into leadership-ready insights.
• Proficiency in MS Office and comfort with MIS / data-tracking tools.
• Willingness and energy to travel extensively across India, including remote and high-altitude locations.

Qualification Experience

• Post Graduate degree in Environmental Science / Studies, Social Work, Rural Development, Development Studies, Natural Resource Management, Sociology, Public Policy, or a related discipline is preferred.
• 5-8 years of experience in CSR, an NGO or Foundation, the development sector, social impact, community development, rural development, or environmental conservation.
• Demonstrated exposure to project coordination, partner management, monitoring and evaluation, field implementation, fund management, and impact reporting.

Preferred Experience

Experience in one or more of the following would be a distinct advantage:

• Environmental conservation and afforestation / green-cover programmes
• Waste management, including high-influx tourist zones and clean-up drives
• Water conservation and sustainable water management
• Livelihoods and community development
