Associate Consultant, Impact (WittyLabs)

If you want work that matters, and a role where you'll learn across research, strategy and client work, read on. We're looking for someone with 2 to 4 years of experience to support the WittyLabs team on projects in the impact sector and beyond.
About WittyPen
WittyPen is a strategic content marketing company. Since 2015, we've worked with 500+ companies, built a vetted network of 1,800+ writers, and shipped 85,000+ pieces of content.
We're a small, high-ownership team. We'd rather ship steady, good work at a sustainable pace than perform busyness. If you do good work and want to push yourself further because you care about it, that's on you. We won't ask you to prove it with hours.
About WittyLabs and the role
WittyLabs is the consulting arm of WittyPen. We work closely with leadership teams on branding, positioning, research and growth, on selective, project-based engagements. A growing share of that work is with organizations in the impact sector.
In this role, you'll work alongside our team leads, who set the direction on each project. You'll help keep projects organized and moving, assist with research and synthesis, help put together proposals, and contribute your ideas wherever you can. It's a great fit for someone meticulous, who enjoys getting the details right and learns fast.
What you'll do
Support proposals and RFPs. Help gather information, draft sections and put together submissions, with guidance from the team.
Keep projects running smoothly. Stay in touch with clients day to day, track timelines and deliverables, and make sure nothing slips.
Assist with research. Help plan and run interviews, surveys and field visits, sometimes travelling with the team.
Organize and synthesize findings. Turn notes, transcripts and data into clear summaries and documentation.
Contribute to content and strategy. Help write content, and share your ideas as the team shapes branding and positioning.
Work faster with AI. Use Claude and other AI tools to organize research, draft documents and speed up everyday work.
What we're looking for
2 to 4 years of experience in research, consulting, project coordination, communications, or a similar role.
You're meticulous and organized. You notice details and can keep track of many moving parts.
Clear writing. You can turn messy notes into something easy to read.
You're comfortable talking with clients and keeping them updated.
You're curious, quick to learn, and happy to take direction and feedback.
You use AI tools like Claude in your day-to-day work.
You're open to travelling with the team for field work.
You care about work that makes a difference.
Nice to have
Experience with NGOs, foundations, CSR teams, social enterprises or the impact sector.
Some exposure to RFPs, grant proposals or pitch documents.
A background in development studies, social sciences, public policy, communications or design research.
Why you'll love this role
Meaningful work. Your projects support organizations working to change lives, and you'll see the impact on the ground.
Learn from experienced people. You'll work closely with team leads who have done this for years, and see how strong research and strategy come together.
Breadth you won't find elsewhere. Proposals, research, strategy, content and client work, all in one role. It's a strong foundation for your career.
AI as your multiplier. You'll learn to do in days what usually takes weeks.
Compensation
₹5–8 LPA, based on experience.
