The Role

Lead the institution’s overall vision, growth, academic direction, financial and operational performance. Drive liberal, discussion- and project-based education; ensure accreditation and regulatory compliance; build faculty and leadership teams; expand admissions, industry partnerships, placements, programs, and institutional reputation. The role requires ownership of academic and business outcomes, curriculum development, accreditation, and representation to governing bodies and external stakeholders.

Summary Generated by Built In

We are looking for a leader who will own the overall vision, growth, and performance of the campus, not just its day-to-day academics. Along with strong leadership experience, the candidate must have real, hands-on experience with liberal education — the modern teaching style used by new-age institutes, where students learn through discussion, projects, and real-world exposure instead of only textbooks and lectures. This experience is essential for the role.

Lead and guide the academic direction of the campus across all schools.

Encourage and hire teachers with industry or practical experience.
Build a culture of accountability, ownership, and performance across the organisation.
