Are you the kind of person who can turn a group of strangers into a community that shows up for each other? Do you take one look at a process that doesn't exist yet and start building it, rather than waiting to be told how?

U&I; is an education nonprofit powered by a national network of volunteers. We're hiring a Community Mobiliser to lead how we mobilize and retain that volunteer network — running our national campaigns, building a community for our most engaged volunteer leaders, and creating a brand-new process to keep volunteers engaged for the long run.

This isn't a support role. You'll own the strategy, the relationships, and the results.

What You'll Do

- Run our national volunteer campaigns
- Lead our two biggest annual campaigns — a volunteer recruitment drive and a fundraising campaign — from planning through execution.
- Design how we mobilize thousands of volunteers, using group messaging, gamification, and rewards to drive participation.
- Plan and run recruitment events and volunteer onboarding, working directly with our regional program teams.
- Pull together and lead a small campaign team each cycle — briefing them, keeping the work on track, and troubleshooting as you go.
- Own ambitious, measurable targets: this year, that means 80% of our communities running a recruitment event, 90% of recent volunteers getting a proper onboarding, and ₹3Cr raised through our fundraising campaign.

- Build our volunteer leader community

- Run a national online community for our most senior, engaged volunteer leaders — the people who lead in their own local communities.
- Keep it active with regular conversations, recognition, and peer learning.
- Watch for early signs someone's disengaging, and act on it before it turns into a drop-off.
- Be the main channel we use to share important updates with this group.

- Build volunteer retention from scratch

- Keeping volunteers engaged long-term is our top priority as an organization — but today, there's no dedicated process for it.



You'll figure out what actually keeps volunteers engaged, propose how we should track and act on it, and build the first version of that process yourself.
- This is genuinely blank-page work: no existing playbook or template. You define it.

- Work across teams

- Partner daily with regional managers and on-the-ground program staff who help bring your plans to life.
- Collaborate with other teams — content, recruitment, and community — wherever your work overlaps with theirs.

What You Bring to the Table

- A bias toward action. You build the first draft yourself rather than waiting for a finished playbook, especially when the path isn't clear yet.
- Excellent written and verbal communication. You'll be the voice behind campaigns and communities reaching hundreds of people at a time — every message you send sets the tone.
- Strong stakeholder management. You're comfortable getting buy-in and alignment from people you don't directly manage.
- A feel for what drives participation. Gamification, incentives, and campaign momentum come naturally to you.
- 1–3 years of experience in community building, volunteer engagement, campaign management, or program management.
- Genuine initiative. You're equally comfortable running an established process and building a new one from zero.
- Comfort with everyday digital tools — group messaging platforms plus basic tracking tools like Sheets, Trello, Asana, or Notion — to stay organized without over-engineering.

What's in It for You

- Full ownership of a major function — real budgets, real national-scale targets, real decision-making power.
- The chance to build a brand-new process from the ground up and make it yours.
- National visibility — you'll be the face of a large volunteer community and two flagship campaigns.
- A structured first year: monthly, quarterly, and half-yearly check-ins closing with an end-of-year review, plus hands-on support from a senior team member as you ramp up.
- A high-impact, mission-driven workplace with real investment in your growth.
