Purpose
Within CEEW, the Programmes Office serves as the nerve centre — ensuring high-quality institutional output, seamless cross-functional execution, and rapid response to emerging national and global sustainability priorities.
To maintain our edge as a world-class institution, we must consistently translate complex data into sharp, actionable insights for decision-makers while managing high-stakes, time-sensitive institutional priorities. This requires a dedicated core team that understands the intersection of public policy, strategic philanthropy, and rigorous research implementation — and that can demonstrate, credibly and systematically, the impact of the Council's work.
CEEW’s Programmes Office seeks an experienced, highly organised, and intellectually curious professional for the Engagement Associate position. This role is designed for a critical thinker with a strong interest in contributing to India’s sustainability transition. Someone, who can operate with autonomy at the intersection of research, programmatic execution, stakeholder engagement, and impact measurement.




The successful candidate will own sensitive institutional deliverables end-to-end — tracking commitments, conducting rapid-turnaround research, drafting high-quality briefing notes, managing relationships with key partners, systematically documenting institutional impact, and ensuring seamless coordination across diverse programmatic pillars. We are looking for an agile professional who can maintain high standards of rigour under tight deadlines and leverage modern AI tools to optimise workflow efficiency.
This role would give you the opportunity to have a bird’s-eye view of the cutting-edge research and programme portfolio at one the world’s leading think tanks. A first-hand prospect to learn how policy research happens and the role of think tanks in shaping policy discourse and key sustainability outcomes. An opportunity to play a key role in translating research outputs into outcomes
