Founded with the support of 130+ philanthropists, corporates, and foundations, we are working toward a poverty‑free India within our lifetime.

Position Overview

The/Nudge is partnering with the Assam State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ASRLM) to increase adoption of the graduation approach/economic inclusion program by targeting 14,000 multidimensionally poor households. A State Project Management Unit (SPMU) is set up at ASRLM, Guwahati, to help the Government of Assam implement the Samaveshi Aajeevika Yojana (SAY). This role will report to the State Lead, Assam Economic Inclusion Program, and focus on strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems, ensuring data quality and process integrity, and generating evidence‑based insights to improve program outcomes.

What will you do?

• Lead and coordinate program monitoring across districts and blocks to ensure accuracy, completeness, and reliability of field and MIS data.
• Establish systems for regular data validation, quality checks, and structured feedback mechanisms for program and tech teams.
• Track key outcome indicators and ensure adherence to monitoring frameworks, reporting formats, and timelines.
• Analyze field‑level and MIS data to identify trends, performance gaps, and implementation challenges, and recommend corrective actions.
• Generate analytical reports and actionable insights to inform program strategy, decision‑making, and operational improvements.
• Develop and maintain data tracking systems, dashboards, and reporting tools using appropriate data visualization platforms.
• Introduce automation in routine monitoring and reporting processes and support improvements in the program’s MIS and digital data collection systems.
• Collaborate with ASRLM state, district, and block teams to strengthen monitoring systems and document program learnings, best practices, and knowledge products for scale‑up.
• Conduct evaluation and learning studies for quality assurance in program implementation.

Who are we looking for in this role?

• Minimum 8 years of relevant experience in monitoring and evaluation, data quality management, preferably in government or development sector large‑scale programmes.
• Strong coordination and stakeholder engagement skills, with at least 3 years of experience working with large‑scale livelihood, poverty alleviation, or rural development programmes and multi‑level programme teams.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with proficiency in bulk data analysis and visualization tools.
• Proficiency in digital data collection systems and data management platforms.
• Ability to multi‑task, a good team player, and strong qualitative and quantitative research and presentation skills.
• Highly detail‑oriented, with strong organizational and execution capabilities.
• Proactive mindset with an interest in system strengthening, process improvement, and automation.
• Willingness to travel extensively in the required blocks/field areas that fall under the project districts.

What’s in it for you?

Own your growth: An impact‑led learning environment encourages Nudgesters to invest in their learning and capacity building needs through initiatives and policies, including an L&D wallet, individual development plan, and internal role change opportunities.

Find your tribe: Our hiring philosophy emphasises intent, attitude, smarts and skills, in that order, to build a cohesive environment for Nudgesters. The organisation is committed to curating people‑centric policies, enhancing how employees experience life at The/Nudge.

Take big bets: Organisational initiatives are intended to facilitate Nudgesters with a view to the big picture, illustrated by our impact across 50,000+ households, 15+ governments, 200+ social enterprises, and Charcha: India’s largest social sector convening forum.

Make it happen: A product‑based approach in an action‑biased environment empowers Nudgesters to implement audacious plans. Driven to fail fast, we endeavour to optimise resources in favour of programs that align with our scale ambition.

We aspire to be an inclusive and diverse organisation and encourage qualified individuals irrespective of their religion, caste, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, or any other dimension of identity, to apply.
