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.
