iTeach Schools

In India, many children from low-income families do not get the quality of education they deserve, which limits their future opportunities. iTeach Schools started in 2015 to change this. We run free, high-impact schools and college-to-career programs for disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai. Our goal is to create a level playing field so that every child, regardless of their background, has the power to choose their own future.

Role

The Manager - Systemic Impact, will lead the founding year of our new "Systemic Impact" vertical. This is a "0 to 1" role, meaning you will help build this department from scratch. Your purpose is to run pilot projects that test how our successful school models can influence and improve the wider education system across entire cities.

Lead the day-to-day execution of these pilots, including managing timelines, coordinating with partners, and organizing workshops or training sessions.
Build strong relationships with government officials, school leaders, and community partners to test real-world solutions.
Turn what we learn from these pilots into clear guides, tools, and long-term strategies to help iTeach influence education at a systemic level.

Requirements

A minimum of 4 years of professional experience in education, public policy, or social development.
Direct experience working with government systems, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) models, or large-scale education partnerships.
