Specialist Deputy Manager - Sustainability

Deloitte • India • Added on Oct 29, 2026
Apply →

This role helps run Deloitte’s community investment programmes across its Mumbai and Pune offices, while co-owning a key CSR initiative across USI locations. The work connects local office teams with NGO partners and keeps funded projects moving from selection through delivery and review.

The sustainability focus here is social impact: directing corporate resources toward community projects, checking that funds follow approved plans, and assessing whether activities meet their intended goals. Employee giving and volunteering campaigns also link staff participation to Deloitte’s community commitments. The posting points to a practical blend of programme delivery, financial oversight and local relationship management, rather than environmental operations or climate reporting.

This suits someone with social work or social development experience, or corporate CSR project and finance management experience, who can work carefully with budgets, NGOs and colleagues across office locations.
