Program Manager – Sama

About the role

We are looking for a Program Manager who is part operator, part relationship-builder and part storyteller. You will own how our programs run on the ground. That journey starts with a laptop leaving a corporate office. It ends with a woman in Yavatmal using it to earn, or a student in a government college building their first project.

What you'll do

• Run programs end to end. Plan, launch and manage deployments across digital labs, Sama Saathi centres and partner NGOs, with clear timelines, budgets and owners
• Build and nurture NGO and community partnerships. Onboard new partners, keep existing ones engaged and help them scale their own work using Sama's model
• Be present in the field. Visit sites regularly and listen to Sanchalikas, students and teachers. Bring what you learn back into how we design programs
• Track what matters. Own program metrics, especially laptop usage and outcomes. Work with our tech and product team to improve how we measure impact
• Support Sama Saathi's growth. Help identify, enable and support local entrepreneurs as we grow towards 50 Saathis by 2027

What you need

• 4–7 yrs of experience
• Excel
• SOP writing
• Any graduate

Good to have

• Stakeholder management
