TISS Recruitment 2026 — Manager & Assistant Manager (Fund Raiser), Apply Online by 05 Aug (Mumbai)

Is TISS Recruitment 2026 for Manager and Assistant Manager posts out? Yes — the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai, an Institute of National Importance under the Ministry of Education, has invited online applications for 2 contractual fundraising positions: Manager – Resource Mobilization [Fund Raiser (Senior)] and Assistant Manager – Resource Mobilization [Fund Raiser (Junior)]. These roles sit within TISS's development and resource mobilization function, supporting the institute's fundraising and donor engagement efforts across its education, non-profit, and institutional partnerships. The Senior Manager post is aimed at experienced fundraising professionals, requiring a Master's degree in Management, Social Work, Development Studies, Economics, Media, or Communications along with 8-10 years of relevant experience in fundraising or resource mobilization, ideally within education or the non-profit sector; a specialized fundraising qualification such as CFRE certification is considered an added advantage. The Junior Assistant Manager post is more accessible, accepting a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related field with just 1-3 years of experience in fundraising, marketing, or communications — and notably, freshers with strong relevant internship experience will also be considered, opening the door for early-career candidates. Compensation reflects the seniority gap between the two roles: the Senior Manager position offers Rs. 1,50,000 per month while the Junior Assistant Manager position offers Rs. 50,000 per month. Both posts carry a maximum age limit of 50 years as on 30 June 2026. Selection will proceed through a personal interaction followed by document verification — no written test is involved, so candidates should be prepared to speak knowledgeably about their fundraising experience and strategic thinking during the interview stage. Applications must be submitted online through the TISS recruitment portal on or before 5 August 2026, with the application fee varying by category and full exemption for women candidates.
