About Outline India
Outline India is a boutique research and data organization. We collect intelligence from the grassroots — running field surveys, impact evaluations, and policy research across India and South Asia, working with clients like the World Bank, UNDP, Mastercard, Google, and GSMA. We're at an interesting inflection point — expanding into AI and data services alongside our core research work, and looking to build partnerships that reflect both.
Walkin inteviews from 20th Apr'26 onwards between 9:30AM - 11AM at our Gurgaon Office.
Role Overview
This role exists because most of what we do at Outline India begins with a relationship. A conversation with a UN agency leads to a research brief. We need someone who can build and manage those relationships systematically — and who can craft the external communications that make those conversations worth having in the first place.
I. Partnerships
- Identify and pursue partnership opportunities with multilateral organizations, government agencies, AI and data companies, and research institutions
- Own the full arc: first outreach, relationship-building, through to a signed agreement or collaboration
- Maintain a live pipeline and follow through consistently — not just warm conversations
- Represent Outline India at conferences, panels, and sector events; travel as needed
- Work with leadership to prioritize which partnerships are worth pursuing
II. Communications
- Shape how Outline India presents itself externally — the positioning, the messaging, the channels
- Turn our research and field work into content that opens conversations with the people we want to work with: policymakers, AI companies, development organizations, researchers
- Build the kind of visibility that means people come to us, not just the other way around
III. What We're Looking For
- 5–7 years in partnerships, external relations, or business development — in development, research, GovTech, or tech
- Has actually closed relationships with large organizations: UN agencies, corporates, government bodies, or technology companies — not just managed existing ones
- Comfortable representing an organization publicly — panels, senior official meetings, client conversations
- Understands India's policy, development, or AI/data ecosystem well enough to have credible conversations in it
- Based in Delhi/NCR or willing to relocate; this is an in-office role
IV. What We Offer
- Real ownership from day one — you'll run your own pipeline, not support someone else's
- Direct access to leadership and visibility across our full portfolio
- Work that spans government, international development, and the private sector
- Competitive salary based on experience
CTC - ₹10LPA - ₹12LPA
Workdays - 5 days a week
