About DC
Development Consortium (DC) is a non-profit organization (registered in India), dedicated to working with young people and vulnerable communities across India - empowering them to overcome health, education and rights, abuse h injustice issues. At the very core of our existence is the belief that a better future for humanity depends on our capacity to harness change. It is the building of this capacity that is at the heart of our working model.
DC firmly believes that influencing behaviour change is critical to the success of an impactful program. Many programs run into cultural traditions and taboos that result in constituents resisting an initiative that might dramatically improve their lives. In many cases, the solution is a matter of sequencing, where opening constituents’ minds to a program’s promise precedes efforts to execute the program itself. At the core of most of our intervention designs is a process to encourage beneficial behaviour change, without taking the paternalistic approach of imposing the change on constituents. These could be a mix of approaches such as engaging constituents directly, by enlisting local, trusted peers to investigate cultural norms and elicit change from within the community; or to impact constituents indirectly, by incentivizing critical collaborators to change their behaviours.

We are an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, colour, sex, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, or any other protected characteristic. At DC we value people from diverse backgrounds, working to create an open atmosphere of trust, honesty and respect.
About the Opportunity
This is the person who keeps the money, the paperwork and the logistics moving. Every hospital we launch needs equipment ordered and delivered, every field visit needs travel booked, every vendor needs to be paid on time, and every rupee needs to be recorded properly so we can account for it to our funders and to the government.
It is a hands-on junior role. You will spend real time on vouchers, reconciliations, quotes and booking confirmations. But you will be doing it inside a small team where the work is visible, where you will see how a nonprofit's finances actually hold together, and where there is room to grow into a broader finance or operations role as we scale into new states. We are looking for someone organised and dependable, who chases things until they are closed and who is comfortable saying when something does not add up.
Responsibilities:
Accounting and Financial Records:
- Maintain day-to-day books, vouchers, and supporting documentation in our accounting system.
- Keep audit-ready records, including documentation required for FCRA and other statutory compliance.
- Coordinate with our CA firm on TDS, GST, PF and ESI filings, and provide the schedules and backup they need.
Payments, Reimbursements and Procurement:
- Process vendor payments, staff reimbursements, and travel advances, and track them to closure.
- Raise purchase orders, collect quotations, and prepare comparative statements for approval.
- Keep the procurement tracker current so the programme team knows where their orders stand.
- Follow up on deliveries of programme supplies such as KMC chairs, wraps, weighing scales, and thermometers to hospital sites.
Travel and Logistics:
- Book flights, trains, and accommodation for core team members, field visits, and visiting funders.
- Apply the travel policy consistently and keep travel spend within budget.
- Handle logistics for trainings, workshops, review meetings, and team offsites.
Budget and Grant Support:
- Track expenditure against budget lines and flag variances to the Operations Manager.
- Pull together the numbers needed for donor financial reports and internal reviews.
- Support implementation partner fund transfers and utilisation tracking.
General Office and Asset Management:
- Maintain the asset register across our office and hospital sites.
- Manage insurance, subscriptions, licences, and renewals.
Required Qualification and Skills:
We are looking for someone precise, reliable, and interested in routine work done well. You do not need prior nonprofit experience, but you do need to care about getting the details right.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Commerce, Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
- 1 to 3 years of experience in accounts, finance, procurement, or operations. Strong freshers with relevant internships will be considered.
- Working knowledge of an accounting system such as Tally, Zoho Books, or QuickBooks.
- Comfortable working in Excel or Google Sheets.
Key Skills and Competencies:
- Attention to Detail: You notice when a figure is off, and you check rather than assume.
- Follow-through: You track open items until they are closed, without being reminded.
- Discretion: You will handle salary, vendor, and financial information, and you treat it as confidential.
- Service Orientation: You see the rest of the team as people you are unblocking, not as requests in a queue.
- Organisation: You can hold many small moving pieces at once without dropping them.
Desirable:
- Exposure to Indian nonprofit compliance, including FCRA, 12A and 80G, or Section 8 company requirements.
- Experience with vendor negotiation or bulk procurement.
- Familiarity with travel booking platforms and expense management tools.
Reason to Apply:
- You’ll have real ownership over things that matter.
- You will join a high impact organisation which is scaling rapidly.
- A high-leverage, high-autonomy position in a young, ambitious, evidence-driven organisation with room for outsized personal impact as we scale.
- You'll learn a lot about what it takes to run a health program inside the Indian public system.
- The core team is small, takes the mission seriously, and is honest about what's going well and what isn't.
- Your work will save lives. Reliable data and tools are what let Ansh's program team catch problems early and keep care on track.
- Close work with a C-suite and a team that takes both the impact and its people seriously.
- Competitive nonprofit compensation, health insurance, and flexibility in how you work.
Remuneration: INR 4,50,000 to 7,00,000 CTC per annum.
Joining: Immediate
