A combination of U.S. government and private sector experience would serve the new Senior Director well, along with business development skills, proven talent management, and advanced written and verbal communication skills.
The Senior Director will lead the South Asia Center's strategy, business development, and manage the Center's staff and network of non-resident senior fellows. This individual will enhance the Center's impact on the most important challenges and opportunities in the greater South Asia region, with a key focus on India, through the launch of a new, ambitious Global India Hub.
In addition to managing the day-to-day operations of the Center, the Senior Director will strengthen the Council's presence throughout the region with key stakeholders while strengthening our programming in Washington as we seek to become the "go-to" organization on India and South Asia. The Senior Director will leverage key partnerships in Washington, throughout the region, and globally to enhance the Atlantic Council's work on India's growing role in the world, particularly on matters of trade, economic relations, and digital cooperation.
Most importantly, the Senior Director will have an entrepreneurial spirit to build new work as the key driver of business development for the South Asia Center to broaden the resources of the Center through innovative programming. Working with the Council's executive office and development team, the Senior Director will be responsible for creating a compelling strategy for the Center's next phase of growth.
Experience living and working in the region is required as is knowledge of at least one regional language, in addition to English. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills are crucial. The position is based in Washington, DC, and will require domestic and international travel. Pay is commensurate with experience, education, and organizational equity, with offers starting at $180,000.
Job Responsibilities
* Intellectual Leadership: Play the leading role in developing the substantive framework for advancing the South Asia Center's mission through strategic planning and innovative programming to support that mission. Represent the Center and Council in external policy debates through publications, speaking/media engagements, and other thought leadership.
* Business Development: Working with the Council leadership and Development team, the senior director should build the Center's financial base by pursuing opportunities with foundations, corporations, high-net-worth individuals, government agencies, and international organizations. The Senior Director should be a relentlessly creative, entrepreneurial manager prepared to drive growth within the Center.
* Programmatic Operations: Develop programming and new initiatives designed to shape policy and the public discussion about South Asia, including its relations with North America and Europe. Manage multiple projects simultaneously, often involving senior experts and policy leaders in government, the private sector, and civil society.
* Center Management: Recruit, manage, and develop a robust bench of talent consisting of full-time staff, Young Global Professionals (paid interns), and resident/nonresident senior fellows. Integrate board members, members of the Council's networks, and supporting partners into the Center's programming, while leveraging the expertise of the Council's 16 programs and centers to enhance the Center's global network. Maintain strong oversight of Center finances and administrative obligations, working with the Council's finance and operations staff.
