Role Summary
Education and Competencies
The quality of school education available to low-income students across India is abysmal — it decides, before they've had a real shot, whether they'll ever attend college or build a career. iTeach Schools was born in 2015 to break that pattern and build a level playing field for every child.
We run free, high-impact schools and a college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai, known for world-class professional development, a results-driven culture, and student-centric school design. More at www.iTeachSchools.org.
Role Summary
iTeach is scaling fast — from 4,500 to 10,000+ students over the next 5 years, through 10-12 new schools across Maharashtra's Municipal Corporations.

- Help identify and open initial conversations with local stakeholders and influential contacts in new areas.
- Support proposal and tender documentation as new Municipal Corporation opportunities move forward.
B. Stakeholder Engagement & Liaisoning
- Identify, build, and maintain relationships with key stakeholders — administrative (Municipal Corporation, Education Department, Zilla Parishad, State Government, SSC Board, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan) and political (Corporators, local leaders, community influencers).
- Serve as the day-to-day point of contact between iTeach Schools and government stakeholders, regarding everything related to expansion proposals.
- Resolve issues between government officers and iTeach Schools.
- Keep the team updated on relevant policy and procedural changes.
C. Compliance & Systemic Reform
- Secure all necessary permissions and compliances for new schools from relevant departments.
