Description

The Atlantic Council seeks a dynamic, policy-oriented, intellectual entrepreneur to serve as Director of its South Asia Center. A combination of U.S.

government and private sector experience would serve the new director well, along with business development skills, proven talent management, and advanced written and verbal communication skills.

The 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, but with a key focus on India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and their international relations.

In addition to managing the day-to-day operations of the Center, the Director will enhance 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 South Asia.

As India prepares for this year's G-20, the 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.

Beyond this, the Director will oversee the Pakistan Initiative, which sits within the South Asia Center, to strengthen its programming and operations, particularly key projects on US-Pakistan tech and commerce collaboration.

Most importantly, the 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 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.

Proven written and verbal communication skills crucial. The position requires domestic and international travel. This position is based in our Washington DC headquarters on a hybrid schedule. Pay is commensurate with experience, education, and organizational equity, with offers starting at $130,000.

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.
