The Livelihood Collective (TLC) – ITI Transformation Roadmap
Position: Senior Associate, TLC
Location: New Delhi/Bengaluru
Reports to: TLC Leadership (Program Director / Program Manager, TLC PMU)
Job Description:
We are seeking a driven, structured problem-solver to join the Project Management Unit (PMU) of The Livelihood Collective (TLC) – a multi-funder collaborative transforming India's Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) from qualification factories into employment engines. TLC will prove and codify a 10-pillar transformation playbook across 8 clusters and ~120 ITIs in Maharashtra, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh, reaching ~1.1 lakh youth before scaling nationally.
As a Senior Associate in the central PMU, you will work at the heart of the program – supporting TLC leadership across strategy, playbook development, program management and monitoring, and acting as a key connector between the PMU, state teams and lead implementation partners. You will operate across both phases of the program: building and refining the playbook and systems in the set-up phase, and driving oversight,



tracking and delivery through state implementation. It is a high-ownership role that blends structured thinking with hands-on program execution and real ecosystem engagement.
The ideal candidate can move seamlessly from structured analysis and playbook design to partner coordination and field immersion – and is energised by building something recent in India's skilling ecosystem.
Key Responsibilities:
Support the development and continuous refinement of the 10-pillar ITI transformation playbook – working across states and modules and codifying learning from the field
Drive program management and oversight for the PMU – planning, tracking milestones, flagging risks and delays, and keeping workstreams on schedule across both phases
Own outcome and progress tracking through the tech-enabled M&E; backbone – supporting the north-star EET metric, ITI scorecards and cascaded reporting from ITI to PMU
