[Hiring] Program Support Lead @NavGurukul

Role Description

NavGurukul students are remarkable. They arrive having already beaten extraordinary odds and they keep growing. The question we are building towards is: how do we make sure that growth is intentional, recognised, and compounding?

As Impact & Growth Leader, you will work across all 8 campuses to strengthen the systems that drive and celebrate student progress rewards and recognition, meritocracy, and the quality of program delivery. You will:

• Design frameworks, support campus teams, and facilitate programs.
• Ensure that hard work and achievement are visible and valued everywhere in the organisation.

This role sits at the intersection of people, programs, and culture. It requires someone who is:

• A Systems Thinker: You can look at how recognition, evaluation, and program delivery work across 8 campuses and design systems that are consistent, fair, and actually motivating.
• Execution-Oriented: You build things. You don't just advise. You stay until the system is running, not just designed.
• A Strong Facilitator: You can design and run programs for students and training sessions for campus teams with equal confidence and energy.
• Data-Driven: You track what you build, learn from what isn't working, and use evidence to improve.
• Genuinely Mobile: Significant travel is not a caveat; it is how this role works. You find energy in being across campuses, not drain.

Qualifications

• 2–3 years of experience in program management, education, community development, facilitation, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience designing or managing structured programs in a community, school, or residential setting.
• Strong instincts around what recognition, motivation, and meritocracy mean in a student development context.
• Ability and willingness to travel significantly across campuses.
• Strong working proficiency in Hindi; regional language is a plus.
• Exposure to program quality frameworks, monitoring & evaluation, or social-emotional learning is an advantage.

Requirements

• Provide hands-on support to campus teams for delivery of student growth and life skills programs.
• Co-design and facilitate program modules where campus team capacity needs strengthening.
• Create standardised but adaptable program delivery guides that campus teams can own independently.
• Track program quality and student engagement across campuses and bring insights to the central team.
• Build campus team capability to run high-quality programs and recognition systems with confidence.
• Facilitate workshops and coaching for campus mentors on facilitation, student assessment, and recognition.
• Document learnings and share across campuses to build a collective body of practice.
• Work with campus teams to ensure student evaluation and growth processes are genuinely merit-based and transparent.
• Develop clear criteria, rubrics, and processes that make meritocracy operational — not just aspirational.
• Champion equity: systems that account for varied starting points without lowering standards.

Benefits

• Salary: CTC is dependent on interview evaluation.
• Travel and accommodation across campuses is fully covered.
• This is a rare role: you get to shape what growth and recognition look like across an entire organisation, from the ground up, at a stage when it actually matters.
• The learning curve is steep, the ownership is real, and the impact is visible.
• We promote from within and people who grow well in roles like this tend to grow fast.
