Youth Mobilizer

Job Summary:

This is a field-first role that requires frequent travel to vocational institutes and clusters.

• Build and maintain relationships with vocational institutes, training managers, principals, and other skilling partners across the region.
• Plan and execute mobilization campaigns — campus drives, marshaling camps, job fairs, boot camps, e-onboarding sessions, and placement workshops to register and onboard candidates onto a skill development platform.
• Own end-to-end candidate funnel from outreach → registration → eligibility screening → skill-tagging → digital onboarding → placement handover.
• Coordinate logistics for on-site drives and manage third-party mobilizers/agencies when required.
• Conduct pre-screening, basic assessments, documentation verification, and ensure quality of candidate data captured.
• Work closely with recruitment/delivery teams to ensure smooth handover, follow-up for joining, and to improve offer-to-join conversion.
• Drive candidate engagement: orientation sessions, basic employability workshops (attendance, punctuality, documentation), and communication via calls/SMS/WhatsApp.
• Develop and maintain an MIS/dashboard to track outreach, registrations, conversions, placement outcomes, and institute-level metrics. Provide weekly/monthly reports to leadership.
• Negotiate and close partnership agreements with institutes and training organizations.
• Represent the organization at local skilling events, government skilling centers, NSDC/state skill council meetings, and build referral channels.
• Train and manage field mobilization teams, set targets, run incentive schemes, and ensure SLA adherence.
• Capture feedback and insights from institutes and candidates to improve platform UX, onboarding flow, and mobilization playbooks.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

The ideal candidate should have:

• 6–8 years of experience in mobilization, campus placements, institutional partnerships, community engagement, or recruitment — preferably with vocational/skill development organizations, staffing firms, placement cells, or NGOs.
• Strong existing contacts or demonstrable experience working with ITIs, polytechnics, TPOs, training partners, or NSDC/state skill councils is a major advantage.
• Excellent stakeholder management — able to build trust with principals, TPOs, training managers, and local authorities.
• Proven track record of planning and executing high-volume onboarding drives and events.
• Strong field orientation — comfortable with frequent travel, overnight stays, and working on-site at institutes and industrial clusters.
• Good command of English and Hindi; knowledge of an additional regional language relevant to target geographies is a plus.
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple mobilization projects simultaneously.
• Proficiency with CRM/ATS tools, Google Sheets/Excel, and basic data dashboarding.
• Good presentation and training skills; comfortable running group sessions and short assessment tests.

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to lead large-scale impact mobilization for vocational youth and enable real jobs at scale.
• Competitive compensation with performance-linked incentives.
• Exposure to cross-functional teams — product, recruitment, operations, and employer partnerships.
