The/Nudge Foundation is a not-for profit start-up. We have been fortunate & proud to have some of the best talents who are genuinely excited & sometimes restless to make an impact in the development sector and hence decided to join us in this journey.

We- re a great fit, if an opportunity to create a profound impact in the lives of many interests you. However, as a - for-purpose, non-profit start-up- our compensation is significantly lower than similar non-profits or for-profit organisations.

Deal breakers - We don't want to waste your time, so we thought it'd be helpful to list some criteria that'll help you evaluate whether we are a good fit for you.

1. We are looking for folks that are keen on building what might be the biggest accomplishment of their career. If you are looking for a job as opposed to such an opportunity, we are probably not the right fit.

2. Sort of related to #1, but if you are not hungry to learn (and we mean really hungry), you are better off looking elsewhere. And we want to be able to learn from you as well.

3. If you are looking for a well-defined, structured role that is prescriptive in terms of your role/responsibilities, we are probably not the right fit. We will expect you to come figure stuff out. We are a startup, chaos is a defining characteristic of our existence.

4. If you are looking for a relatively easy-going job, this is unlikely to be that. In fact, if this is not one of the most challenging jobs you've had in your career, we are probably not doing something right.

If you are also excited, impatient and restless to create an impact, do some meaningful work, learn and contribute among some of the best minds and make an impact, we would love to get to know you.

Do get in touch and one of us will reach out to you!
