Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar.

- Drive disciplined execution of the academic and assessment calendar.
- Represent the school in academic forums and audits.
- Work with the Principal on medium-term plans. Ideal candidate — you have:
- 8+ years in school education with leadership exposure.
- Direct experience running a section, department, or full school.
- A point of view on good teaching, good assessments, and good schools.
- Patience to coach and firmness to enforce standards.
- Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. Perks and culture:
- Fair compensation with annual review (₹12.9 LPA – ₹28.3 LPA).
- Stable, full-time engagement with a clear academic calendar.
- Regular PD through internal and external programmes.
