About University

Rishihood University (RU) has been established under The Haryana Private Universities (Amendment) Act, 2020 and is empowered to award degree as specified in section 22 of UGC Act, 1956. 

Rishihood University is India’s first and only impact university. ‘Impact’ is the living spirit of Rishihood. The purpose of education envisioned by the thought leaders of our civilization and that which has motivated the founders to build Rishihood University is beyond just awarding degrees and jobs. The purpose of education is to achieve the highest potential in a learner i.e., Rishihood. Rishihood University provides a unique mix of globally relevant education that is rooted in Indian ideas, quality education that is affordable, and a multi-disciplinary exposure with cutting edge skills of a specialist. To achieve this outcome, education cannot be limited to within the classrooms. RU is a fully residential campus where living and learning seamlessly integrate throughout the day. RU faculty and learners have an active participation with society, industry, researchers, entrepreneurs, and policy makers. This keeps the learning at RU focused on solving the biggest challenges faced by humanity and prepares our learners for the real world. It is time India builds universities driven by a higher purpose, that have a strong committed board to back it, that redefine the way education is imparted both within and outside the classroom. Rishihood is a bold initiative to fulfill this idea. Hence, we are looking for like-minded founding faculty members at Rishihood University.

About the Role

You’ll be the storyteller-in-chief for a vibrant, purpose-driven campus of young makers, designers, entrepreneurs, psychologists, and future leaders. Your words, campaigns, and content will help shape how the world sees Rishihood — and more importantly, how our own students feel proud to be part of this journey.

This is not a “just post and pray” job. This is a high-energy, high-impact role where strategy meets storytelling, data meets delight, and every message carries the spirit of Vyakti | Vichar | Vyavastha (building people, ideas, and systems).

What You’ll Do (and Love Doing!)
  • Own and elevate Rishihood’s brand voice across all channels — website, social media, newsletters, press, campus events, and more — keeping it warm, authentic, and full of positive energy.
  • Craft compelling content (articles, social posts, scripts, press releases, campaign copy, video concepts) that makes students and parents go “I want to be part of this!”
  • Build and execute integrated communication strategies that amplify our programs in Entrepreneurship, Design, Psychology, Technology, and Public Leadership.
  • Manage media relations, pitch inspiring stories, and secure positive coverage that positions Rishihood as a thought leader in impact education.
  • Collaborate closely with admissions, student life, faculty, and leadership teams to keep messaging consistent and exciting.
  • Lead internal communications so every student and team member feels connected to the bigger “why.”
  • Track performance, experiment with new formats, and continuously make our storytelling sharper and more joyful.
  • Mentor junior team members and help build a culture of creativity and impact-first communication.


Requirements
  •  Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in communications, content strategy, public relations, or brand storytelling (education, ed-tech, or purpose-driven organizations will make us extra happy!).
  • Excellent writing skills — you can switch from heartfelt student stories to sharp media pitches without breaking a sweat.
  • Strong understanding of digital platforms, social media trends, and how Gen-Z (and their parents!) consume content.
  • Experience managing campaigns end-to-end and working with creative teams, designers, and video creators.
  • A natural storyteller who believes education can change lives and nations.
  • Cheerful attitude, growth mindset, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, English, Marketing, or related field (Master’s is a plus).
