Job Description – Wadhwani Foundation

About Wadhwani Foundation

Mission: Accelerating economic development in emerging economies through high-value job creation.
Objectives: Enabling the creation of 10M jobs and placement of 25M individuals by 2030 across 20–25 emerging economies.

The Wadhwani Foundation (WF) is a not-for-profit organization established in 2000 by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Dr. Romesh Wadhwani. Its primary mission is to accelerate economic development in emerging economies by driving large-scale job creation through entrepreneurship, innovation, and skills development.

Today, WF is scaling its impact across 25 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, working with governments, corporates, academic institutions, and ecosystem partners to deliver sustainable employment and entrepreneurship outcomes.

Role Context

We are seeking a Business Leader with a proven track record of driving large-scale skilling initiatives across India, and successfully engaging with multiple stakeholders such as Government bodies, Vocational Education & Skill Development institutes, and Employers.

The individual should demonstrate strong capabilities in identifying, launching, and scaling new business opportunities while ensuring tangible outcomes and outputs.

Key Responsibilities

·    Lead the national skilling initiative end-to-end.

·    Drive both the supply & demand side of the skilling ecosystem at scale.

·    Expand and nurture existing as well as new accounts.

·    Ensure beneficiary outcomes and outputs are met consistently.

·    Identify, design, and implement tech-enabled business models.

·    Build and manage high-performing teams with strong leadership skills.

·    Establish and nurture networks of employers, trainers, and mentors to strengthen the ecosystem.

Skills & Experience Required

·    10–15 years of experience in B2C, education, or skilling ecosystem.

·    Deep understanding of the Vocational Training Providers (VTP)/Vocational Training Institutes (VTI) ecosystem and experience working with government agencies.

·    Strong business acumen, strategic & innovative thinking, and analytical rigor.

·    Demonstrated ability in data analytics, attention to detail, and outcome measurement.

·    Proven ability to leverage technology platforms and digital tools for scale.

·    Strong business development and account management skills.

·    Ability to make decisions in ambiguous environments with a strong sense of urgency.

·    Demonstrated skills in complex problem solving and decision-making trade-offs.

·    Excellent team management and ability to drive teams toward objectives.

·    Open to extensive travel across the country.

·    Solid academic background.

Our Culture:

WF is a global not-for-profit, and works like a start-up, in a fast-moving, dynamic pace where change is the only constant and flexibility is the key to success.

Three mantras that we practice across job roles, levels, functions, programs and initiatives, are Quality, Speed, Scale, in that order.

We are an ambitious and inclusive organization, where everyone is encouraged to contribute and ideate. We are intensely and insanely focused on driving excellence in everything we do.

We want individuals with the drive for excellence, and passion to do whatever it takes to deliver world class outcomes to our beneficiaries. We set our own standards often more rigorous than what our beneficiaries demand, and we want individuals who love it this way.

We have a creative and highly energetic environment – one in which we look to each other to innovate new solutions not only for our beneficiaries but for ourselves too. Open to collaborate with a borderless mentality, often going beyond the hierarchy and siloed definitions of functional KRAs, are the individuals who will thrive in our environment.

This is a workplace where expertise is shared with colleagues around the globe. Individuals uncomfortable with change, constant innovation, and short learning cycles and those looking for stability and orderly working days may not find WF to be the right place for them.

Finally, we want individuals who want to do greater good for the society leveraging their area of expertise, skills and experience.

The foundation is an equal opportunity firm with no bias towards gender, race, colour, ethnicity, country, language, age and any other dimension that comes in the way of progress.
