Program Design & Process Leadership
Maintain and continuously improve SOPs and toolkits (forms, checklists, MoUs/agreements, co- investment policy, procurement flow, mentorship playbook).
Own the end- to- end entrepreneurship pipeline: baseline surveys, eligibility criteria, scoring rubrics, screening, panels, selection, disbursement, and post- launch support.
Ensure GEDSI, safeguarding, and climate/green- practice integration throughout.
Establishing New Enterprises
Run outreach with local partners (Women’s Union, Youth Union, local authorities, homestays/hotels/cafés).
Facilitate business planning (market scan, location fit, menu/mix, pricing, CapEx/OpEx, cash- flow).
Coordinate procurement of starter kits/equipment with Finance/Procurement; verify installation and basic SOPs (HSE, hygiene, inventory, POS).
Strengthening Existing Enterprises
Implement mini- projects (e.g., signage upgrades, menu redesign, workflow/space tweaks) and monitor uplift.
Diagnose gaps (operations, menu engineering, costing, merchandising, service quality, digital marketing).
Deliver targeted clinics/coaching (pricing, cost control, waste reduction, upselling, basic HR and rota planning).
Training, Coaching & Alumni/Mentor Network
Mobilize mentors and local business coaches; set up peer circles and problem- solving groups.
Plan and deliver short, practical modules (financial literacy, pricing, break- even, daily cash sheet, simple MIS, customer service).
MEL & MIS, Reporting, and Compliance
Track KPIs: business launch/upgrade counts, survival at 6/12 months, revenue/profit proxies, co- investment ratio, training hours, client satisfaction.
Use KoboToolbox/Google Forms for baselines; maintain enterprise files (selection notes, photos, invoices, agreements, coaching logs).
Produce donor reports (narrative/finance) and case stories with the Comms team; keep documentation audit- ready.
Partnerships & Ecosystem Building
Broker market linkages (B2B supply, homestay cafés, festival pop- ups), and negotiate in- kind support (space, utilities, signage permissions).
Formalize collaboration (MOUs) with hotels, cafés, suppliers, market committees, local authorities.
Operations & Risk
Identify risks (business viability, safety, safeguarding) and implement mitigation and escalation protocols.
Plan field schedules, travel, and logistics efficiently; maintain asset registers.
