About Young Founders SchoolYoung Founders School (YFS) is a nonprofit using entrepreneurship to build future-ready skills among young people aged 11–18. We deliver entrepreneurship education, skills courses, and virtual internships across India, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.

The RoleThis is a field-first partnerships role for someone who wants to build meaningful relationships and create impact on the ground.

As the Impact Partnerships Officer for your geography, you will identify the right organisations, understand their communities and educational needs, diagnose where YFS can add value, recommend the right programme, and take that partnership through to implementation and long-term engagement. You will own the partnership ecosystem in your geography, including your pipeline, stakeholder relationships, local travel, programme delivery, and network of local ambassadors.

If you want to be on the ground, make an impact on the ground, love talking to people, enjoy understanding educational needs, and love bringing different parts of an ecosystem together, this role is for you.

What You'll DoDiscover & Diagnose - (15%)

- Identify and qualify nonprofits, institutes, schools, and government bodies against YFS's partnership criteria.
- Conduct discovery conversations to understand their students, educational context, needs, priorities, and existing ecosystem.
- Translate these insights into a clear recommendation on which YFS programme or offering is the right fit.




- Capture learning data of the students across various programs.

Build & Deliver Partnerships (35%)

- Take partnerships from first conversation through due diligence, MOU, onboarding, and programme delivery.
- Adapt and position YFS's courses, internships, and other offerings based on partner needs.
- Work closely with partners to ensure programmes are successfully delivered on the ground, and students have a meaningful experience.
- Stay engaged beyond delivery, ensuring students are connected to the broader YFS community and future opportunities.

Build Local Ecosystems (20%)

- Build meaningful, long-term relationships with education and community stakeholders.
- Identify and recruit local ambassadors within partner communities.
- Train, support, and lead ambassadors who become YFS's local points of contact and extend our presence on the ground.
- Build a strong local network that can sustain relationships and opportunities beyond individual programme cycles.

Own the Region (30%)

- Maintain an accurate partnership pipeline and MOU status in Orbis (CRM).
- Plan your regional travel and journey schedule against an allocated travel budget, balancing cost-consciousness with partnership and programme outcomes.
- Prioritise countries, partners, and journeys independently, with minimal day-to-day oversight.

Who You Are

- You have 1–3 years of experience in social work, education, community development, or a related field, preferably working directly with children or young people.
- You are strong at discovery, diagnosis, and recommendation: you can listen deeply, understand an educational context,



and identify what could genuinely work for a partner.
- You genuinely enjoy talking to people and building relationships, from grassroots community stakeholders to institutional and government partners.
- You understand how education ecosystems work and can connect the right people, organisations, and opportunities to create impact.
- You are comfortable building relationships that go beyond a one-time programme or transaction.
- You can independently take a partnership from first conversation → programme fit → MOU → delivery → long-term relationship.
- You can recruit, train, and lead local ambassadors and build trust with people on the ground.
- You are fluent in English and have proficiency in a relevant local/regional language for the geography you cover.
- You are genuinely comfortable with extensive travel across your geography/country. This is a field-based role, not a desk job with occasional travel.
- You are organised and self-motivated enough to manage your own pipeline, travel planning, and priorities with minimal day-to-day supervision.

Why This Role

- Be on the ground: Your work directly shapes how young people access education and opportunities.
- Build, don't just manage: You will build partnerships, ecosystems, and local networks from the ground up.
- Own the relationship: From the first conversation to long-term community engagement, you will own the journey.
- Work across ecosystems: Bring together nonprofits, schools, institutes, governments, educators, and young people around shared opportunities.
- High autonomy: You will have significant ownership over your region, pipeline, travel, and partnerships.
- See the impact: Your partnership work directly translates into students accessing YFS programmes, internships, and the wider YFS community.
