Business Manager & Project Assistant

These contractual roles are ideal for individuals seeking project-based work within a prestigious academic and entrepreneurial environment. The Business Manager position suits experienced post-graduates (3+ years relevant experience) with a background in business management, development studies, or professional qualifications like CA/ICWA, eager to contribute to rural enterprise promotion. The Project Assistant role is suitable for recent graduates with strong computer skills and an interest in administrative support for development programs. Both positions require willingness to travel extensively within Odisha.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment should be aware that these positions are purely temporary and contractual, with a maximum engagement period of three years. Individuals looking for large-scale recruitment drives may find the limited number of vacancies (06 posts) less appealing. Those without the specified educational qualifications or the mandatory three years of experience for the Business Manager role will not be suitable.

Working with IIT Bhubaneswar, a premier national institute, offers significant resume value and exposure to high-level research and entrepreneurial ecosystems. The collaboration with the Odisha Livelihoods Mission provides a unique opportunity for social impact and engagement with grassroots development initiatives. While contractual, these roles offer valuable experience, networking opportunities, and a chance to contribute to impactful projects within a reputable institutional framework.
