The Livelihood Collective (TLC) – ITI Transformation Roadmap

* Position: Senior Associate, TLC

* Location: New Delhi/Bengaluru

* Reports to: TLC Leadership (Program Director / Program Manager, TLC PMU)

Job Description:

We are seeking a driven, structured problem-solver to join the Project
Management Unit (PMU) of The Livelihood Collective (TLC) – a multi-funder
cooperative transforming India's Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) from
qualification factories into employment engines. TLC will prove and codify a
10-pillar transformation playbook across 8 clusters and ~120 ITIs in
Maharashtra, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh, reaching ~1.1 lakh youth before scaling
nationally.

As a Program Manager in the central PMU, you will work at the heart of the
program – supporting TLC leadership across strategy, playbook development,
program management and monitoring, and acting as a key connector between the
PMU, state teams and lead implementation partners. You will operate across both
phases of the program: building and refining the playbook and systems in the
set-up phase,



and driving oversight, tracking and delivery through state
implementation. It is a high-ownership role that blends structured thinking with
hands-on program execution and real ecosystem engagement.

The ideal candidate can move seamlessly from structured analysis and playbook
design to partner coordination and field immersion – and is energised by
building something new in India's skilling ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities:

* Support the development and continuous refinement of the 10-pillar ITI
transformation playbook – working across states and modules and codifying
learning from the field

* Drive program management and oversight for the PMU – planning, tracking
milestones, flagging risks and delays, and keeping workstreams on schedule
across both phases

* Own outcome and progress tracking through the tech-enabled M&E; backbone –
supporting the north-star EET metric, ITI scorecards and cascaded report
