BACKGROUND  Mission  To promote - child-friendly construction sites-, where every child living on a construction site is safe, health, educated, and able to enjoy their childhood  Approach & Focus  We are the only organisation in Mumbai, which has consistently worked with construction workers- children as its primary focus and one of the very few organisations working with children under three years. Our core work is to:  - Support the intellectual, emotional and physical development of the very young child, and build a strong foundation for his/her school entry and achievement.  - Free older children from the burden of child care and help them enrol in school and do well.  - Empower mothers to enter and/or stay in the workforce while their children are in our care.  - Provide guidance and support to parents on children's rights, health and care and educate them on the importance of child friendly construction sites.  We have developed early childcare programmes which can be replicated anywhere.  Strategies:-  The client is registered under the Companies Act, 1956. It's day care centres are set up on construction sites in the space provided by the builder. Centres run programmes that focus on the comprehensive development of children that include education, healthcare and nutrition components. The centres cater to children in the age group of birth to 14 years. As the majority (over 60%) of the children are below the age of 6 years, programmes have greater emphasis on early childhood care and development. Owing to the transitory nature of the target population, programmes are tailored to meet the needs of the migrant children. It also sees the community as the central focus for creating awareness and sustainable interventions, whether it is regarding health, education, and any other relevant social issue. Community based interventions are conducted to address social issues and bring about sustainable change. Also, for the past 35 years it has been running a training programme that has been running since the past 35 years for women and men from underprivileged backgrounds to enable them to become teachers and childcare givers.   POSITION SPECIFICATION  Position: Chief Executive   Location: Mumbai   Reporting to: Board of Directors  Qualifications: Master's Degree in Social Sciences or other equivalent / appropriate qualification  Experience:Minimum 15 years in the social sector with at least 5 years in leadership capacity in a similar setup or within the sector  Travel: Will have to undertake trips only as per the need of the organisation  Type of Employment: Full time   ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES   - Leadership & Management  Communicating and implementing the organisation's vision, mission and overall direction.   Ensuring ongoing programmatic excellence and implementation of the organisation's strategy.  Oversight of financial management and administration, fund raising, communications and operating of systems.  Providing support to and seek directions of the Board by keeping the Directors informed about all relevant matters and interfacing between the Board and the staff.  Building on organisational strengths to scale up impact of the organisation with a number of stakeholders - community, peer organisations and government.  - Programme Delivery  Overseeing design, delivery and quality of day-care centres, training and advocacy programmes.  - Financial Management  Presenting yearly budget for Board approval and prudently managing organisation's resources within those budget guidelines in accordance with current laws and regulations.   Executing all the responsibilities of the Chief Executive as stated in the organisation's Financial Policy.  - Community & Public Relations  Ensuring that the organisation and its mission, programmes and services are consistently presented in a strong and positive manner to relevant stakeholders  - Fund Raising  Overseeing fundraising planning and implementation, including identifying resource requirements, researching funding sources, establishing strategies to approach funders, submitting proposals and administering fund raising records and documentation  COMPETENCIES & SOFT SKILLS  Leadership  - Exhibit high level of drive, energy and a commitment to excellence.  - Demonstrated innovative problem solving and conflict resolution skills.  - Leading and developing high performing teams.  Communication and representational skills   - Hold excellent verbal and written communications skills in English.  - Should be analytical, articulate and well versed with the subject to communicate effectively with a wider audience.  - Excellent representation skills and ability to represent the organisation.  - Can inspire others, be diplomatic and build trust-based relationships.  - Resourceful, nurturer and a good negotiator  Compatibility with organization's Culture  - Understand organization's vision, mission and values and able to adapt to the same.  - Unquestionable integrity at all times.  - Focused ability to produce high quality results.  Highly Desirable  - Should be flexible in terms of working style/multitasking.  - Incumbent will require to be highly results and outcome oriented in approach.  - Adaptability to change  - Warmth and liveliness  EXPERIENCE  Must Haves:  - Post Graduate / Master's Degree in Social Science or related disciplines  - Minimum 15 years of experience with at least 5 years in leadership capacity in a similar setup or within the sector  - Programme vision and insight - demonstrated ability to translate vision to results by developing and providing clear strategic and operational guidance to the team.  - Strong communication skills.  - Significant experience in developing strategy for raising funds from various donors from India and abroad  - Prior experience of recruiting, managing, mentoring and advising multidisciplinary teams.  - Experience in finance management, general management and people management within an organisation.   - Passion for social change  Preferable:  - Experience in the field of working with children and/or women  - In the age group of 40-55 years
