UNITED WAY MUMBAI · SAFE MOBILITY FOR ALL YOUNG PEOPLE
Lead the movement.
Make cities safe for children.
We’re looking for a seasoned Project Lead to own a multi-city road safety programme — from strategy to street-level execution — and build the systems, teams, and partnerships that make it last.

Every day, thousands of children navigate cities not designed with them in mind.
This role is not a coordination job. It is end-to-end ownership of a high-stakes, city-wide intervention — 350+ schools, ~30 field facilitators, multiple government stakeholders, and measurable behaviour change as the ultimate deliverable. You will build the operational machine, lead the people, and push the result.
