13 hours ago
Job description

An extremely rare large-scale human-impact + cutting-edge technology exposure opportunity for a sharp, high-ownership operations and project management professional to drive government-led poverty alleviation efforts in partnership with the Punjab Government.

Leap 300 has pioneered a high-tech, low-touch model to alleviate extreme poverty (<

$2 / Day), with outstanding pilot results. We are now implementing this model in partnership with the Punjab government, and we're looking for a strong leader to oversee this mission-critical project from end to end.

Mission for the Role :

Execute the best-in-the-world government-led rural entrepreneurship program to alleviate poverty in Punjab.

The Role :

The Program Manager will be the single-point owner, representing Leap300 in Punjab, overseeing execution of the Leap 300 program through on-ground partner teams and ensuring high-quality delivery. You'll work at the intersection of government systems, technology-enabled interventions, and last-mile impact. While the program will be executed by government teams, you'll be responsible for ensuring that everything runs like clockwork : from field-level execution to leadership-level alignment.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Ensure Seamless Execution : Monitor on-ground activities to ensure the program is functioning as intended;

troubleshoot and intervene wherever needed.

  • Stakeholder Management : Build strong relationships with PSRLM team, officers, and senior bureaucrats.
  • Structured Reviews : Conduct weekly check-ins with field staff and monthly meetings with leadership to drive accountability and learning.
  • Drive Continuous Improvement : Regularly assess the program's effectiveness and design course corrections for stronger outcomes.
  • Field Visits : Regular travel to the field to understand challenges first-hand and stay grounded in the realities of implementation.
  • Re-train as needed : Identify capacity gaps among the implementation team and conduct refreshers or support interventions to close them.
  • Profile :

  • Experience : 4-5 years of experience in high-quality execution environments (e.G., consulting, startups, operations roles).
  • Track Record of Ownership : You've independently owned complex projects and have a "whatever it takes" approach to outcomes.
  • Structured Thinking & Problem Solving : You bring clarity to chaos and can make effective decisions with incomplete information.
  • Strong Communication & Relationship Skills : You can earn the trust of both senior bureaucrats and field-level staff alike.
  • Empathy & Mission Orientation : You care deeply about impacting lives at scale and are willing to go deep to make it happen.
  • Punjabi : You must be comfortable with Punjabi
  • Location :

    Full-time role based out of Punjab (Chandigarh / Patiala / Ropar), with need-based travel across field sites in Punjab.

    Company Values :

    Frugality, Focus, Obsession, Long-Term-ism

    Backed by a highly reputed board, this is a rare opportunity to combine systems-level scale with deep grassroots impact.
