1. JOB OVERVIEW, JOB BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
This role sits in the Gandhi Fellowship Alumni team. The Gandhi Fellowship Alumni team’s mission is to nurture, enable and support the GF alumni on their individual and collective journeys in order to help them compound their impact.
This role is responsible for designing the relational and identity architecture of the Gandhi Fellowship alumni ecosystem. That means building the structures, experiences, and cultures through which 3,500+ alumni deepen their sense of belonging, strengthen their leadership identity, and move into meaningful collective action - across cohorts, cities, and sectors.
This is not an events role. It is not a communications role. It is the role that asks: what does it actually mean for a Gandhi Fellow to remain a Gandhi Fellow - five, ten, fifteen years after the programme ends? And then builds the answer, systematically and at scale.
2 . KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES : (%)
2.1 Community Architecture & Engagement Journeys 25%
a . Map the alumni ecosystem to identify leverage points for systems-level influence - where a welldesigned intervention could unlock disproportionate collective impact
b. Design structured cross-batch and cross-sector learning exchanges that surface the diversity of the network and create genuine intellectual friction and collaboration
c. Activate and sustain city chapters and sector-based communities - giving locally rooted alumni the architecture and autonomy to lead meaningful peer engagement in their contexts
d . Build peer mentorship ecosystems that are reciprocal and structured, not transactional - pairing alumni across experience levels
e . Design engagement journeys that meet alumni where they are rather than defaulting to one-sizefits-all programming
2.2 Leadership & Reflection Platforms : 25%
a . Design and hold facilitated spaces for collective sense-making
b. Create anchoring experiences for alumni at career and life inflection points
c . Build frameworks and practices for ongoing leadership reflection that alumni can sustain independently
d . Design leadership deepening journeys for alumni
e . Develop a pipeline of alumni who can themselves facilitate reflection and leadership spaces for peers
2.3 : Strategic Convenings : 35%
a . • Curate outcome-driven ecosystem gatherings
b. • Commission and facilitate cross-sector and cross-cohort dialogues on issues where the GF network has depth
2.4 Contribution Culture & Ambassador Network : 15%
a. Activate alumni as mentors, guides, and knowledge sources for current Fellows and for each other
b. Design structured storytelling pipelines that surface alumni impact and put it into the world - not for institutional branding, but to deepen the network's own sense of what it is capable of
c. Build the norms, rituals, and recognition systems that make contribution feel meaningful
d . Map and activate the full range of ways alumni can contribute: time, expertise, capital, connections, voice
