The/Nudge Institute is an action institute on a mission to end poverty in India within our lifetime. The organisation believes that a poverty-free India is not just a dream but an achievable goal, provided governments, markets, and civil society work together. Their approach is rooted in collaboration and practical action. The team partners with state governments, social entrepreneurs, and grassroots communities to design and deliver programmes that make a real difference. Their work focuses on three key areas: economic inclusion, social entrepreneurship, and community empowerment.

- Communicate findings clearly to internal leadership and external stakeholders
Requirements

- Strong structured thinking and problem-solving skills with ability to break down ambiguous problems and design rigorous pilots
- Comfort with both quantitative and qualitative research methods
- Familiarity with data tools such as SQL, Excel, or equivalent is a plus

- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across operations, impact, and leadership teams
