About the Role
You'll be the direct right hand to the ET Director — turning a chaotic calendar into a functioning week, sitting in on government meetings, CSR calls, and founder pitches, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

- Support small-business and startup assistance work
- Social media, PR, and communications
- Maintain Excel/data trackers across live programs
- Calls and meetings with government officials and partners (India & USA)
- Mobilize volunteers and other resources to execute
What We're Looking For
- Proactive, driven, and assertive, with a naturally positive attitude. Well-organized, strong on follow-through, and comfortable multitasking under pressure.
- Strong writer, strong Excel and presentation skills, comfortable with AI tools
- Flawless English; Tamil speaking required, Hindi a plus
- Comfortable in a room with officials and donors
- MBA preferred, not required
- 1–4 years' experience, or an equivalent standout background
- Must currently reside in Chennai
How to Apply
Send your resume & cover letter, plus 5 lines on a time you juggled multiple urgent, unrelated tasks at once — and how you handled it.
