Why do we exist? What do we do?

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 career development, a results-driven culture, and student-centric school design. More athttp://www.iteachschools.orghttp://iteachschools.org.

Role Summary

iTeach is at an inflection point. In 2025, we set out to more than double our reach — from 4,500 to 10,000+ students — by opening 10-12 current schools over the next 5 years. That's a decade of growth in half the time, powered by strong municipal demand, solid funding, and a deep talent pipeline.

The Growth & Expansion Manager will drive that growth end to end: representing iTeach with government at every level, building the strategy for where we go next, and carrying each new Municipal Corporation from first conversation to a signed partnership. This role owns the machinery that turns growth intent into schools on the ground.

Major Responsibilities

A: Expansion — Strategy and Execution

- Build and drive iTeach's 3-year expansion strategy across Municipal Corporations in Maharashtra and beyond, translating our 2030 growth goals into a concrete roadmap.
- Own the full expansion pipeline end to end — proposal drafting, pitching, tender release and management, through to final work order award.
- Lead on-ground landscape studies with our government partnerships associates to scope space, infrastructure, and educational gaps, and identify the best-fit opportunities for iTeach.




- Design and implement strategies to secure government funding to support new and existing schools.

B: Government Liaisoning and Compliance

- Build and hold relationships with administrative and political decision-makers across 8-10 Municipal Corporations, championing iTeach's mission at every level of government.
- Manage the Government Relations Associates to keep all iTeach schools compliant with government regulations and law.
- Maintain iTeach's standing as the Municipal Corporations' most trusted non-profit school operator.

C: Team and Planning

- Set the annual implementation plan for the expansion vertical, including budget requirements.
- Manage and coach the Government Relations Associates supporting expansion work in each Municipal Corporation.

Qualifications and Competencies

- 4+ years in the social sector or public-facing roles, with at least 2 years managing people, ideally with exposure to government relations or public policy.
- A track record of building relationships with senior stakeholders and moving decisions forward in bureaucratic, often slow-moving environments.
- Comfort owning ambiguity — this is a build-as-you-go role inside a fast-growing organization.
- Strong communication, presentation, and influencing skills; equally sharp writing a tender response and pitching a Municipal Commissioner.
- Preferred Languages: Fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Marathi and English.

Location

- Based in Mumbai. Willing to travel across Greater Mumbai, Mumbai, Pune and other Municipal Corporations in Maharashtra and beyond — as our footprint grows.

Compensation and Benefits: We take pride in offering competitive compensation and benefits commensurate with the candidate's education and work experience. The salary range for this position ranges from 9.5 - 11 LPA CTC, and we are dedicated to providing top-notch industry benefits. These benefits include PF, gratuity, medical insurance (up to 3 lakh PA), paid leaves, annual increments, and promotion opportunities.
