Outreach Partner

Platform Commons is looking for a field-based professional to join our village development program — an Outreach Partner, working within our Field Engagement & Operations model.

Talasari, Maharashtra, India

About the role:

You'll work hand-in-hand with village communities to help them shape and drive their own development journey, facilitating a citizen-led, five-step process:

Building Awareness — drawing on other villages successes to inspire local ownership

Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) — on-ground assessment of resources, infrastructure and constraints

Village Development Plan — co-creating a detailed, DPR-style development plan

Resource Mobilisation — accessing government schemes, CSR funding, crowdfunding and skill-based support

Execution — supporting implementation and strengthening the plan over successive cycles

Who we're looking for:

Graduate, or in the final stages of graduating

Proficiency in the local language + working knowledge of English

Must possess a personal vehicle, given the field-intensive nature of the role

Background in NGOs, NCC, NSS or the social service sector preferred, but freshers are welcome — prior experience is not required

What we offer:

A full-time role with genuine responsibility from day one — working directly with communities, government stakeholders and internal teams, and staying involved from planning through to on-ground execution. Compensation is discussed during the interview based on role fit and experience, along with a travel allowance for field-based work.

If you're excited by the idea of walking alongside villages as they build their own future, we'd love to hear from you.
