[Hiring] Senior Manager - Teacher Training & Professional Development @Udhyam Learning Foundation

Role Description

Building teacher capacities in the government education system for facilitating student agency is deeply challenging. It requires teachers to reexamine their current ways of teaching and gradually build confidence in a completely new domain. We believe that nurturing student agency also requires investing in teachers’ own agency.

At the same time, we recognise that the quality of teacher training at scale is often shaped by persistent, systemic challenges ranging from design limitations and delivery constraints to contextual realities on the ground. Therefore, we are looking for a passionate and experienced Senior Manager for the teacher training and development vertical within the curriculum and pedagogy team, who can not only reimagine teacher development but also bring a sharp, diagnostic lens to the work.

This role will require the individual to identify and unpack the core problems that impact training quality, especially in large-scale government systems, and to back-work from these challenges to design practical, context-sensitive solutions. The person will continuously examine what is not working, why it is not working, and what can be redesigned within existing constraints to improve effectiveness. This includes building training approaches and post training support systems that are not just theoretically strong, but also adaptable, scalable, and grounded in the realities of implementation.
