**The Role**

We are seeking a technically strong, operationally rigorous Manager to own the ILC intervention through its full lifecycle — first establishing and validating the pilot, then driving its scale-up across new and existing geographies. This is a sequential mandate: the Manager sets up the pilot, proves the model on the ground, and subsequently leads the transition into full-scale, multi-site operations. Throughout, the role carries direct ownership of regional teams and ground operations.

The ideal candidate brings deep operational and technical experience — someone who has run field operations hands-on, solved device- and system-level problems directly, and later scaled those operations into a repeatable, standardised model. 5–8 years relevant experience required.

**Responsibilities**

### Operations Delivery (35%) —

-    Own day-to-day ground operations end-to-end: site setup, installation quality, O&M adherence, supply and logistics, and water-quality benchmarks. 
-   Establish the pilot's operational backbone —SOPs, workflows, escalation paths — then progressively harden and standardize these systems for scale. 
-   Run root-cause analysis on operational bottlenecks and drive continuous improvement across sites.
-    Manage vendor performance, field logistics, and resource allocation in low-infrastructure settings. 

### Technical Ownership (30%)

-   Serve as the technical lead for the ILC intervention — dosing calibration, chlorine residual management, device configuration, and troubleshooting across varied field infrastructure.
-   Own operational performance across intervention sites, including installation quality, O&M adherence, water-quality benchmarks, and real-time data validation through dashboards and raw-data review.
-   Diagnose recurring technical and operational failures, design scalable solutions, and embed corrective protocols across teams and geographies.
-   Collaborate with academic and technical partners, vendors, and the product team to strengthen device performance and field protocols.

### Team Building & Management (20%)

-   Hire, structure, and lead new field and coordination teams - defining roles, KPIs, and reporting lines aligned to program priorities.
-   Provide direct leadership, mentorship, and structured performance management to team members, driving accountability and a culture of transparency and learning.
-   Run structured performance management via trackers, dashboards, and review cadences.

### Stakeholder Collaboration (15%)

-   Contribute to the development of tools, frameworks, training materials, and methodologies for effective knowledge transfer and capacity building.
-   Represent the LMT with government departments (e.g., JJM, PHED / RWSS), academic partners, and community stakeholders, championing technical and programmatic excellence.
-   Communicate insights, risks, and recommendations to ISW leadership in a timely and structured manner.

## Requirements

-   Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, or Environmental) or a closely related technical discipline
-   Minimum of 5-8 years of experience in technically complex program delivery, with demonstrable, including hands-on field operations and a subsequent scale-up
-   Proven experience hiring, structuring, and leading teams, ideally across dispersed geographies in rural or resource-limited settings
-   Strong ability to use data for decision-making, protocol design, and continuous improvement
-   Excellent spoken and written English, with the ability to synthesise information and produce high-quality documents to tight deadlines
-   Willingness to travel up to 40% of the time domestically

**Desirable**

-   Master's degree in Engineering, Management, or a related discipline
-   Experience running large, multi-site field operations, ideally having taken an operation from pilot through to scale-up
-   Exceptional ability to work with minimal supervision while proactively surfacing progress and bottlenecks to leadership

-   Comprehensive health insurance with IPD and OPD provisions,
