2025 is our 25th Anniversary! J oin Us in Celebrating 25 Years of Progress.

IMPORTANT: All applicants must be legally eligible to work in the country where the position is located. Room to Read is not able to provide sponsorship.

Position Overview:

The Girl’s Education Program is currently operating in 6 States across India – Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, New Delhi, Uttarakhand, Telangana and Maharashtra. Specifically, the program seeks to achieve increased years of schooling for girls and increase girls’ self-awareness, decision-making and problem-solving skills.

The Social Mobilizers are responsible for implementing the Girls’ Education program at the field level. They are the first point of contact for the girls whom we work with; they are also the point of contact for the schools and parents and hence are critical to the success of the program.

The social mobilizer will report to the Program Associate. The position will be field based; she will be responsible for a group of 80 girls as their mentor, support system and motivator.

Responsibilities:

Program planning, implementation:

• Develop a thorough understanding of Room to Read’s Girls’ Education program design, objectives and outcomes.

• Implement program activities as per design maintaining fidelity

• Undertake corrective action and incorporate feedback when provided by the supervisor for life skills sessions etc

• Participate in program planning in consultation with Program Associate and other state level staff.

• Regularly attend weekly and monthly workshops where weekly and monthly plans are made and reviewed

• Attend mandatory training of Social Mobilizers

Family and Community engagement:

• Have a thorough understanding of social issues, safety concerns and child protection issues affecting girl participants and an awareness of available social safety net mechanisms, schemes and referrals. (With child protection and safety issues of girls that emerged through a study done in India last year and the new mentoring module that requires the program to address such issues, we need a social mobilizer who is well networked and well acquainted with existing social safety net mechanisms, schemes and also referrals; this skill was not required for our current social mobilizers)

• Organize and lead family and community meetings and consultations with school staff, parents and community members/organizations as per design; discuss life skill content and issues with them in a tactful manner (especially sensitive/taboo issues like early marriage and attending school during menstrual cycle).

• Seek opportunities for networking at local level and create a resource pool to be used as a referrals if there is a need

• Facilitate visits of donors, India Country Office and State Office team members

• Facilitate and support State Office/India Country Office team members in conducting research/ survey/ study/ data collection/ baseline etc.

Working with girls:

• Conduct life skills sessions for 90 girls in batches of 20-25 as per the prescribed session content and as per agreed plan. Each girl will need to be provided with a minimum of 16 life skills sessions in one year. This would require a thorough understanding of the content and skills of delivering it tactfully (especially the content related to reproductive health). The reproductive health sessions that has been introduced in the worldwide Girl's Education Program modules require more experienced professionals who are well equipped to deliver the content as well as handle queries of parents and convince them on the need for these sessions.

• Form Life skills clubs/Children groups and facilitate regular meetings and discussions of these groups; at least 8 meetings are to be held every year. Ensure that through these groups the girl participants develop skills of articulation and self-expression and initiate action on issues they face in their lives. This would require the social mobilizer to have excellent facilitation skills and understanding of the principles of child participation.

• Distribute the newsletter GUPSHUP, initiate discussion around it and hold follow-up activities. (This requires an ability to engage with text in a magazine format written for girls – to eventually lead them into an analysis of the magazines/mass media and inspire them to express and deconstruct gender stereotypes)

• Help girls to develop wall magazines and write for state-level Gupshup so that their voices can be captured

• Mentoring: Conduct group mentoring sessions for 90 girls in batches of 10-12 girls as per prescribed content guidelines and record each session. Plan out the group mentoring sessions in association with the Program Associate, taking into account the needs expressed by the girls. Conduct individual mentoring sessions as needed. This may need creation of new content wherever needed (The new mentoring module being introduced requires social mobilizers to be barefoot counselors – not just mentoring girls in groups but also identifying challenges being faced by girls, developing sessions to address the challenges, identifying the content for these sessions and developing the content if needed)

Setting up Life skills centres /Gender Resource Centres:

• Setting up a Gender resource Centre (GRC) for life skills in schools /community for life skills sessions

• Ensuring proper functioning and usage of Gender resource Centre (GRC) as per discussion with state Girl's Education Program teams

• Ensure the space is clean, safe and welcoming to girls

• Ensure the space is well stocked with drawings/articles/ expressions of children’s voices ; changing and putting up the articles/drawings/paintings on bulletin board periodically at least once a month

Home visits:

• Mapping data as per the risk and response protocol and then making specific home visits. (The objective of the risk and response protocol is to take action based on an analysis of the four risk factors for girls dropping out. This involves tracking of each girl, understanding the risk, flagging concerns, suggesting solutions, motivating the girls to take necessary action and ultimately preventing the girl from dropping out. All this requires a very high level of analytical and strategic thinking skills, which is not currently available in the Social Mobilizers).

• Undertaking regular school visits

• Handling any critical matters that may emerge from these interactions

• Organizing/conducting programmatic activities at school and community as per mutually agreed plan and responsible for managing relationships with school, community and respond to issues that may arise.

• The quality of home visits is expected to be of high as the expectation is of higher levels of engagement and effective mentoring and outreach to families

Record keeping, Reporting and monitoring:

• Timely record keeping, updating the data and sharing analysis of various parameters like attendance sheets , parents meetings, drop outs etc.

• Filling up socio-economic profile of the girls

It is expected that Social Mobilizers will undertake risk mapping of the entire cohort as many girls drop out during transition from grade 8 and grade 11.

 Donor Research Analyst (AI-Enabled Research & Data Systems) 

Delhi, India 

Position Overview 

The Donor Research Analyst serves as a strategic and technical partner in evolving Room to Read’s global donor research, due diligence, and data systems function. This role blends strong research fundamentals with AI-enabled tools, data discipline, and workflow design to help the Development & Communications team move faster—without sacrificing accuracy, judgment, or compliance.

This is not a static research role. It is a builder role, hired in anticipation of increased scale, greater use of AI, more complex event demands, and tighter integration with Salesforce and global fundraising workflows. The Analyst will work across constrained systems, balancing speed with verification, and translating information into actionable strategy—not just profiles.

The Donor Research Analyst reports to the Vice President of Global Business Operations.

Core Responsibilities 

AI-Enhanced Prospecting & Research 

• Conduct proactive and reactive research on individuals, corporations, and foundations using a combination of research platforms (e.g., iWave, Apollo.io, ZoomInfo), AI-supported tools, and manual verification.

• Pilot and refine AI-assisted workflows for summarization, enrichment, and pattern-finding, with clear guardrails for verification and quality control.

• Apply sound research judgment to distinguish signal from noise and surface what is truly actionable for fundraisers.

Event Research & Relationship Intelligence 

• Produce concise, high-quality briefing materials for events and strategic meetings under tight timelines.

• Translate research into insights, pathways, and recommendations—clearly articulating “so what” and “now what” for Relationship Managers.

• Support event research at increasing scale, using templates, batch workflows, and AI responsibly to maintain quality under pressure.

Data Consolidation & Salesforce Integration 

• Clean, structure, and prepare Salesforce-ready datasets, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and minimal rework post-import.

• Build and maintain Excel-based trackers and AI-supported tools to organize donor interests, capacity indicators, philanthropic history, and relationship pathways.

• Partner closely with Global Business Operations (GBO), DevCom, and IT to improve data flows into Salesforce and reduce manual data handling.

Due Diligence, Risk Screening & Compliance 

• Conduct due diligence using public records, media sources, research platforms, and AI-assisted monitoring.

• Apply consistent judgment across regions with varying data availability, norms, and risk thresholds.

• Maintain documented workflows for screening, verification, escalation, and resolution of potential risks.

Systems Building, Documentation & Enablement 

• Design and continuously improve templates, trackers, workflows, and documentation that strengthen research efficiency and consistency.

• Capture institutional knowledge related to tools, processes, and best practices in a shared internal knowledge hub.

• Develop training resources and provide guidance to colleagues conducting localized research across regions.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement 

This role is highly collaborative and serves as a connective function across teams. The Analyst will work closely with fundraisers, Global Business Operations (GBO), IT, and DevCom leadership to ensure research is accurate, timely, and usable for donor strategy, events, and pipeline development.

Externally, the role may involve limited interaction with research and AI vendors (e.g., iWave), external consultants, and occasional coordination with volunteers supporting training or process improvement efforts.

What Success Looks Like 

  

Performance in this role is measured across five core areas, balancing speed, quality, and impact:

• Timely delivery of high-quality research and event briefings, even under tight deadlines

• Accuracy and Salesforce-readiness of data, with minimal rework required by downstream teams

• Improved efficiency, demonstrated through repeatable workflows, automation, and responsible AI use

• Strength of strategic insights, clearly translating research into actionable cultivation or upgrade strategies

• Consistent application of due diligence and risk screening, with timely escalation and no material compliance gaps attributable to research errors

Growth & Evolution 

This role is designed to grow alongside Room to Read’s evolving research and data ecosystem. Over the medium term (12–24 months), the Analyst is expected to:

• Partner more deeply with IBD, GBO, and leadership on pipeline strategy

• Help shape organizational thinking on AI, research ethics, and due diligence

• Potentially evolve into a Senior Research Analyst or Research Systems Lead role

Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in a relevant field.

• 2–3 years of experience in prospect research, analytics, fundraising operations, or other data-intensive roles requiring synthesis of complex information.

• Strong research fundamentals, including the ability to find, verify, and synthesize information and exercise judgment about what is actionable versus noise.

• Strong proficiency in Excel and data handling, including data cleaning, structuring datasets, and use of pivot tables and lookups.

• Experience preparing, validating, or managing Salesforce-ready datasets, with an understanding of downstream CRM, compliance, and stewardship impacts.

• Familiarity with donor research and data platforms such as iWave, Apollo.io, ZoomInfo, and/or web-scraping tools (e.g., Octoparse or similar), with the ability to learn new tools independently.

• Comfort using AI-enabled tools for research, summarization, enrichment, and workflow optimization, paired with strong verification and quality-control practices.

• Ability to balance speed and accuracy in deadline-driven, event-focused environments, clearly flagging assumptions, uncertainty, and risk.

• Demonstrated ability to work creatively within a constrained technology environment, combining lower-cost tools, Excel, AI, and manual verification without over-engineering solutions.

• Strong analytical judgment and builder mindset, with the ability to translate research into clear insights and recommendations while improving templates, workflows, and documentation.
