The Emerging India Forum is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering frontline communities, particularly marginalized and Indigenous groups, by co-developing technology aimed at social justice and environmental protection.

📋 Description

• As Managing Director, you'll help create the conditions for Awana Digital's people and programs to thrive. • Working closely with the Executive Director and leadership team, you'll help strengthen the organization's effectiveness by ensuring that our people, resources, systems, and priorities are aligned in support of our mission. • Key areas of responsibility include: • - Supporting and developing staff while fostering a culture of trust, accountability, learning, and collaboration. • - Creating clarity around priorities, goals, roles, and expectations across the organization. • - Strengthening communication, coordination, and relationships across teams. • - Designing and improving systems, workflows, and processes that help the organization operate effectively. • - Supporting organizational planning, decision-making, and implementation of strategic priorities. • - Aligning budgets, staffing, projects, and funder commitments with organizational goals. • - Building structures that help teams navigate growth, change, and new opportunities. • - Identifying challenges, solving problems, and helping move important work forward.

🎯 Requirements

• Most importantly, you'll help Awana Digital become a stronger, more resilient organization—one that reflects our values not only in what we do, but in how we work together. • You are a thoughtful, grounded leader who gets energy from supporting people, projects, and organizations to thrive. • You know how to balance big-picture thinking with day-to-day execution, and you're equally comfortable supporting staff, improving systems, and moving important work forward. • You build trust quickly and lead with both empathy and accountability. • People experience you as clear, approachable, and reliable. • You can navigate difficult conversations, make decisions when needed, and create environments where people feel supported, challenged, and able to grow. • You are naturally organized and enjoy bringing structure to complexity. • You are collaborative by nature and understand that strong organizations are built through relationships. • You care deeply about social justice and believe that how we work matters as much as what we accomplish. • Additional nice-to-have qualities: • - Experience with Notion (or comparable) project management tool • - Experience working across countries and cultures, with an understanding of work cultures outside the United States. • - Proficiency in Spanish, Portuguese, French or Bahasa Indonesia. • - Ability to align budgets, staffing, and organizational priorities with grant requirements, deliverables, and reporting obligations.

🏖️ Benefits

• Awana Digital uses a transparent payscale to determine compensation. The salary range is expected to be between $106-115,000 USD, depending on experience. Benefits depend on country of residence. • Awana Digital is dedicated to social justice and work-life balance, operates on a 4-day work week, and the team is doing internal work focused on democratizing decision-making within the organization. • Flexible schedule, location and hours. As an organization we embrace working in a way that finds a balance between individual needs and team collaboration. However, for this role it will be important to have time available for day-time meetings with team members in the Americas and western Europe. • Opportunity to play a key role at a ground-breaking organization. You have the opportunity to make a big impact in a small team. • 4-day work week. We consider “full time” to be 32 hours per week. Some people work four 8-hour days, and others distribute their hours organically across the week. • Opportunities for travel. While this will be primarily a remote position, occasional travel will be expected for internal team gatherings and retreats, to attend conferences and/or visit partner organizations.
