ABOUT GRATITUDE NETWORK

Gratitude Network is a 501(c)(3) that empowers non-profit leaders and their teams with the tools, strategy, coaching, and global community needed to accelerate their transformation into high-performing, sustainable organizations.

Our flagship offering is a highly competitive 13-month Fellowship focused on leadership and organizational development for global nonprofits. Our additional network services include growth courses, workshops, tools, and resources to ensure no nonprofit leaders stands alone.

Since its inception, Gratitude Network has supported more than 280 organizations with programming in 130 countries. Post-fellowship, these leaders have increased the number of children they serve by an average of 5X and grown their revenue by an average of 3.5X within three years.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Gratitude Network is seeking a detail-oriented, analytically minded, and mission-driven Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning (MEL) and Application Coordinator to join our programs team. This full-time, remote position is based in India and is ideal for someone with 2–5 years of professional experience in data management or monitoring and evaluation.

We are specifically looking to hire in India to bring our team closer to many of the nonprofit leaders we serve. Having a team member based in this region allows us to provide more localized support, connect with Fellows in closer time zones, and build opportunities for regional engagement and network activities.

As the MEL & Application Coordinator, you will own two critical workstreams within Gratitude Network’s programs: leading the end-to-end Fellowship application and recruitment process, and managing the organization’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning reporting cycle. You will work closely with the Director of Programs and the Program Coordinator, each owning distinct workstreams with clear accountability and close collaboration.
