Manager - Capacity Building - NGO

Manager - Capacity Building

1. Building the capacity of NGOs to sustain their organization and scale their impact

2. Developing a cadre of trained professional leaders across non-programmatic domains such as Leadership, Fundraising, Talent & Culture etc. to improve overall effectiveness of NGOs.

3. Supporting organizations and movements that aim to mobilize financial and non-financial resources to the sector

In addition to supporting our development partners, our aim with these three sub-verticals is to measure the success of investment in capacity building and share our learnings and evidence with the larger sector to influence funding agencies, service providers and other NGOs to prioritize capacity building and become resilient and sustainable.

Manager, Social Sector Capacity Building vertical

A successful Manager will:

- Manage relationships with portfolio partners that involves conducting need assessments, identifying areas that require critical support, pitching grant proposals to the board, processing grants to address those gaps, and measuring the success of those grants in the short and long term.

- Create a robust monitoring and evaluation system which involves co-creating milestones and defining success metrics with partners every year, showcasing the progress to the leadership team, tracking the process through quarterly check-ins, developing dashboards that can analyze data to drive insights and decision-making. It will also involve tracking progress and impact at the cohort level.

- Able to understand organisation and program budgets shared by partner organisations and analyse it across portfolio to identify trends and draw insights across various programs

- Identify success stories from these partnerships and work with communications agencies to write and publish case studies, articles, blogs, etc. to showcase the impact of capacity building investments for the organisation's long-term sustainability. A huge part of the role is documenting these success stories in-house as well as creating learning templates that can benefit other organisations in the sector.

- Build an effective grant management system to ensure seamless data collection, data analysis, and reporting to various levels within the Foundation. It will involve working with an external vendor to create a platform, organise the data in relevant templates, create dashboards for analysis and train partners to use the same to track progress.

- Organise convenings to invite critical stakeholders from within the sector to identify challenges and white spaces within the sector that needs to be addressed to build transparency, credibility, and accountability of the sector ensuring the long-term sustainability of NGOs.

- Build systems & processes that can allow for easy transfer of knowledge to any other organisations interested and invested in capacity building. It will involve creating SOPs of all the workflows that are developed in-house to engage with various stakeholders.

- Work with the communications manager to disseminate the success stories, learnings, challenges of capacity building in NGOs to targeted stakeholders to build a critical mass of influencers and followers online and offline. It should also include identifying forums (conferences, events, webinars, etc.) where the knowledge of our best practices can be plugged in for larger dissemination.
