Careers
We're always on the lookout for new talent.
We always need talent to work with the craft persons, to learn with them and to grow with them. Field travels, challenging working conditions and a place in a young, driven team are what we offer. If you’re someone who believes in “Career and Cause”, not “Career vs. Cause”, we would love to hear from you. People with a genuine interest in contributing to community and the maturity to understand that working with the marginalized requires the best talent and not a “last career option” can apply.
At Chitrika Foundation, we value the following traits in our employees:
- A perspective to look at this job as a cause rather than as a career
- Commitment and compassion to work on the third largest marginalized community in India
- Ability to look at crafts from the perspective of livelihoods
- Patience to rework the crafts value-chain to make it affordable for different income segments
- Commitment to quality
