Job Description - Community Lead - Just Transition

Location: Mancherial and Pedapalli, Telangana (On -ground)

Experience: 7–8+
years in Community Management/Rural Development


About
the Role

Swaniti
Initiative is looking for a seasoned, street -smart, and deeply embedded Community Lead to spearhead our "Just
Transition" program in the coal belts of Telangana.

As
coal mines undergo repurposing, local economies face a critical turning point.
We need a catalyst who doesn't just manage meetings but knows how to move the needle. You will be the bridge between
traditional livelihoods and future -ready economic opportunities, ensuring that
no community is left behind as the industrial landscape shifts.


Key
Responsibilities


  • Mobilize Gram
    Panchayats:
    Grassroots -level organizing to reconfigure and articulate the
    evolving needs of the community. You will help villages find their voice
    in the face of economic change.

  • Strategic Liaison: Work directly
    with local administration (District Collectorate, Block offices) and
    State -Owned Enterprises (SOEs) to identify and unlock alternative economic
    pathways.

  • Enable Systemic
    Shift:
    Align community aspirations with available government schemes and
    industrial opportunities to facilitate a smooth socio -economic transition.

  • Stakeholder
    Navigation:
    Navigate the complex dynamics between labor unions, local leaders,
    and administrative bodies to drive consensus.

Who
You Are


  • The Local Insider: You have spent
    at least
    7–8 years working within communities in Telangana.
    You understand the nuances of the local culture, language (Telugu fluency
    is a must), and the specific socio -economics of the coal belt.

  • The
    "Needle -Mover":
    You have a proven track record
    of not just "doing activities" but achieving
    tangible outcomes. You know how to get things done
    within the bureaucratic and social systems of rural India.

  • The
    Strategist:
    You can look at a closed mine and see a dozen new
    opportunities, whether in renewable energy, circular economy, or decentralised manufacturing.

  • Communicator
    -
    You’re as comfortable
    having a grounded conversation with a farmer as you are confidently presenting
    ideas to a District Magistrate or corporate leader.



Requirements

  • Experience: Minimum 7–8
    years of experience in community organizing, rural development, or local
    governance.

  • Education: An
    undergraduate degree in Social Work, Public Policy, Rural Management, or a
    related field.

  • History: An established
    history of leading community -led change or livelihood programs.

  • Logistics: Should be based in or willing to travel extensively across Mancherial and Pedapalli.

In case you do not hear from us within 30 days, please consider your application to be unsuccessful and your application has been retained in our database for future opportunities.
