- Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
- Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Qualifications and skills:
- Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
- Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
- Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
- Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.

- Salary in line with experience and market norms (₹10.2 LPA – ₹10.5 LPA).
- Structured calendar with reasonable workload expectations.
- Professional development through workshops and internal training.
