    Description

    ONLY CANDIDATES CURRENTLY BASED IN CHENNAI, INDIA

    We are looking for a smart, resourceful, get-things-done Personal Assistant / Project Associate based in Chennai who’s excited to work on meaningful projects across Tamil Nadu, India and the U.S. You’ll be the Executive Director’s go-to person—helping run daily operations, coordinating meetings and travel, creating crisp reports, engaging with policy research, and keeping everything moving. One day you might be supporting a startup pitch, the next you might be helping shape an NGO project or connecting with government or corporate partners. If you love variety, impact, and learning fast, you’ll fit right in.

    You should bring 2–7 years of experience, strong communication skills (English required; Tamil a plus), and confidence with tech—AI tools, docs, spreadsheets, and social platforms. We value people who are organized, proactive, calm under pressure, and genuinely curious. If you’re based in Chennai and want a role where your work actually matters, send a quick note and your resume (PDF) to apply. Let’s build cool, meaningful things together.

    Level of Language Proficiency

    Flawless spoken and written English skills.

    Preferred: Ability to read, write and speak Tamil; Spoken Hindi useful
