Senior Associate, Statistician

Are you passionate about making a positive impact on road safety? Do you thrive in a collaborative team environment built on mutual respect and integrity? Are you an experienced Statistician/Mathematician with a passion for saving lives across the country? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our team at SaveLIFE Foundation.

About SaveLIFE Foundation :

SaveLIFE Foundation (SLF) is an award-winning, independent non-profit organization committed to saving lives on roads across India and the Global South. By combining grassroots action with systems reform, SLF has been at the forefront of introducing landmark road safety innovations—such as India’s Good Samaritan Law and the Zero-Fatality Corridor (ZFC) model. Our work has helped reduce road crash deaths by up to 67% on some of India’s most dangerous highways and has been recognized by institutions such as the Skoll Foundation, World Bank, and Government of India.

At SLF, we believe that road crashes are not accidents—they are preventable tragedies. We are on a mission to prove that loss of life on roads is not a price we must pay for mobility.

Join us to help scale this mission.
