About Outline India
Outline India is a research and data organization. We collect intelligence from the grassroots — running field surveys, impact evaluations, and policy research across India and South Asia, working with clients like the World Bank, UNDP, Mastercard, Google, and GSMA. We're a growing team that operates at scale: designing studies, deploying field teams, and turning ground-level data into analysis that informs decisions at the highest levels.

Role Overview
This role exists because most of what we do at Outline India begins with a relationship. A conversation with a UN agency leads to a research brief. A meeting with a tech company opens a data partnership. A panel appearance gets us in front of the right donor or academic partner
We need someone who can build and manage those relationships systematically - and who can craft the external communications that make those conversations worth having in the first place.

Strategic Partnerships
Identify and pursue partnership opportunities with foundations, AI and technology companies, CSR teams, and research institutions.




Lead stakeholder outreach, relationship management, and partnership development.
Set up roundtables and attend conferences

Communications
Develop content and communication materials that showcase Outline India's research, impact, and fieldwork.
Support thought leadership initiatives, external communications, and organizational visibility.
Create partnership decks, presentations, case studies, and LinkedIn content.
