ROLE PURPOSE

RightWalk's core identity is as a policy-to-outcomes institution builder. This role is the intellectual and architectural engine of that identity. The Head – Policy, Systems & Program Architecture owns the 'R' and 'I' of the RIGHT model: Redesign (policy co-shaping) and Institutionalize (systems design). Everything that becomes RightWalk standard must pass through this function. This role ensures that what works in one state becomes codified, transferable, and replicable — not tribal knowledge locked in people's heads.

This role owns the institutional architecture of RightWalk’s work: policy reform logic, system design, program models, SOPs, quality thresholds, PMU blueprints, exit criteria and codification of what works across states. It protects the organisation’s identity as a systems-change institution.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1.



Policy reform logic and standards
- Own the policy reform logic across RightWalk's domains — Education (RTE), Livelihood (Apprenticeship), and Health — including policy interpretation, rights-based reasoning, and advocacy positioning.
- Define non-negotiable standards for program design and implementation fidelity.
- Support government-facing policy/process improvements through evidence and design.
- Set non-negotiable program standards: define quality thresholds, entry/exit criteria, and program fidelity benchmarks across all states.
- Lead policy domain heads (Education, Livelihood, Health) and guide specialist analysts.
- Engage with government counterparts, NITI Aayog, and central ministries on policy refinement.

2. Systems and process architecture
- Design institutional systems: SOPs, process flows, governance structures, government-technology interface specifications, and central-state system
