About NavGurukul

At NavGurukul, we believe talent is everywhere, but prospect isn't.

Since 2016, we've been enabling underserved youth to build sustainable, aspirational careers in the digital economy through residential programs, online learning, AI-powered initiatives, and livelihood-focused programs.

Today, NavGurukul supports learners across residential campuses, remote learning initiatives, AI programs, digital access projects, and a growing alumni network. As we scale, we're equally committed to understanding our impact, improving our programs, and making better decisions through evidence and continuous learning.

We're looking for someone to build a world-class Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) function that helps every team from programs to leadership understand what's working, what isn't, and what to improve next.

About The Role





This is not a traditional Monitoring & Evaluation role focused primarily on donor reporting.

As the Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) Manager, you will own and build NavGurukul's MEL function, creating the systems, processes, and insights that enable the organization to continuously learn and improve.

Working across Programs, Product, Technology, Admissions, Placements, Alumni, Fundraising, Finance, and Leadership, you will design measurement frameworks, improve data quality, automate reporting, evaluate program effectiveness, and translate data into actionable insights.

Success in this role isn't measured by the number of reports produced, it's measured by how effectively data influences decisions, improves learner outcomes, and strengthens organizational impact.
