Associate Senior Manager - Outreach in Bengaluru | U&I

U&I

U&I is a nonprofit based in Bengaluru that helps children from underserved communities learn and grow. It runs around 160 learning centres across 40 cities, powered by more than 4,500 volunteers every week. Its Teach programme supports over 5,000 children through volunteer-led learning, mentoring and life skills. This role sits within U&I's Corporate Partnerships team, which builds the CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) partnerships and employee volunteering programmes that fund and grow this work.

Role

You will lead how U&I finds the right companies and turns them into qualified meetings, for both CSR funding and corporate volunteering. You will build and run an outreach system that uses AI (artificial intelligence) for research and first drafts, with people checking quality at every step. You will lead a small team, keep the CRM (customer relationship management) system accurate, and hand each meeting to the Partnerships team so every new relationship starts well. This is a chance to shape an outreach engine that is still being built, with a focus on the right meetings rather than many meetings.

Responsibilities

• Keep the target list of companies current, identify the right people to reach in each, and build a weekly shortlist worth contacting.
• Run cold outreach through LinkedIn, email and calls, and decide what AI can handle and what a person must review before anything is sent.
• Generate leads for CSR partnerships and corporate volunteering, and judge which one, or which mix, fits each company.
• Run the volunteer and staff referral programmes, and qualify inbound leads from ads, the website, social media and U&I's own events.
• Build pitch decks and first conversations around what each company cares about, and join the first meeting for every lead you hand over.
• Agree with the Partnerships team on what counts as a qualified meeting, and send serious leads to them quickly.
• Own the outreach tools, sequences and templates, keep the CRM accurate, and share a weekly report on leads, replies and meetings.
• Lead 2 to 3 outreach associates by setting weekly priorities, coaching them, and reviewing their messages and calls.

Requirements

• 4 to 6 years of experience in outbound sales, business development, growth or partnerships.
• A record of meetings or revenue that you personally brought in.
• Strong sales skills, including building pitch decks and conversations around what a company needs.
• Daily use of AI tools and a CRM, with a habit of keeping data clean.
• Experience managing or coaching a small team, formally or informally.
• Good judgement on which companies are worth a meeting, and clear writing.
• Experience building an AI-assisted outreach process, exposure to CSR, nonprofits or corporate sustainability, and a corporate network in Bengaluru and other major cities are a plus.
• This is a full-time role based in Bengaluru.

Benefits

• Shape a new outreach system from the ground up instead of following a fixed playbook.
• Lead and grow your own team of outreach associates.
• Work closely with the Partnerships and marketing teams at a nonprofit with a large, active volunteer community.
• Help bring in the funding and volunteers that support learning for thousands of children.
