  • Map opportunities for funding, incubation, or commercialization of validated ideas.
  • Strategic Planning & REACT Growth

  • Contribute to vision-building and system design for the next phase of REACT.
  • Develop frameworks, processes, and operational models for efficient project delivery.

  • Partnerships & Ecosystem Development

  • Build and manage strong relationships with industry partners, NGOs, and experts.
  • Facilitate collaborations for field immersion, mentorship, and solution validation.
  • Represent REACT in institutional, corporate, and global innovation forums.
  • Events, Communication & Visibility

  • Lead execution of events, showcases, and campaigns to highlight REACT’s impact.
  • Coordinate with communications teams for digital storytelling and outreach.
  • Ensure every event and publication aligns with the REACT brand and mission.
  • Ideal Candidate Profile

    Experience (3–8 years) in :

  • Innovation ecosystems, startup incubators, R&D programs, or social impact initiatives
  • Project lifecycle management — from concept to field implementation
  • Building cross-sector partnerships (education–industry–community)
  • Managing technical or interdisciplinary teams
  • You Bring :

  • Strong understanding of engineering or science-based projects and social systems
  • Proven ability to translate field challenges into practical, scalable solutions
  • Excellent coordination, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills

  • M.Des / M.Tech / MBA / MPP / MS in Innovation, Design, or Development fields preferred
  • Interdisciplinary profiles — tech + social + management — strongly encouraged

  • Why Join

  • Work directly with real-world problems and real communities.
  • Build a national model for field-based learning and social innovation.
  • Shape projects that move from campus to impact.
