- 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.

- Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. Perks and culture:
- Fair compensation with annual review (₹10.0 LPA – ₹18.5 LPA).
- Stable, full-time engagement with a clear academic calendar.
- Regular PD through internal and external programmes.
