GiveIndia is a donation platform that allows visitors to support a cause of their choice from 250+ NGOs that have been screened for credibility and transparency. And it is the Online Giving team that is responsible for promoting the online presence of GiveIndia – from acquiring new donors to encouraging current donors to continue their relationship with GiveIndia.

Over the past few years, we have been using a combination of techniques to reach our goal; ranging from newsletters and customized communication to our current base, to improving the user-experience of the website, to reaching out to new customers through direct mailers from supporting sites. Over the last 2 years we have grown more than 50% p.a.

So if you are a young, dynamic and enterprising individual who wants to be part of a high growth team and will work towards making that happen, Internet Giving is the place for you.

GiveIndia is looking for a young and dynamic Search specialist to join its Online Giving team. The right candidate will get the opportunity to drive the complete SEO/SEM strategy from ideating to planning to execution and will be completely responsible for the revenue targets under this stream. We are typically looking for individuals with 2-5 years experience of working in firms specializing in SEO/SEM activities. The individual should be a go-getter and require minimal hand-holding and should be able to work without a high level of supervision.

The right candidate will have a chance to experiment with an Adwords budget of $40,000 p.m. without any risk associated with the money as we are a recipient of the Google Grants programme.

We are an organization that is growing rapidly and would want each of its employees to also grow fast.
