POSITION | Director - Career Advancement Cell

Rishihood University is looking for a Director to build and run the Career Advancement Cell, our reimagined placement function. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will own building the broader system that helps every learner find their right next step, whether that is a job, a startup, graduate school, public service, or family business leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Core placement operations

- Build and manage relationships with recruiting companies; run placement drives end to end (scheduling, logistics, employer coordination)
- Track and report placement rate, median salary, employer quality, and internship participation each semester
- Run resume coaching, mock interviews, and career readiness sessions for learners
- Maintain a live database of student profiles, employer contacts, and offer data
- Coordinate with faculty and program leads on internship requirements and academic calendar alignment

Building the five pathways

- Design pathway-specific support tracks for Professional Careers, Entrepreneurship & Family Business, Public Leadership, Research & Graduate Studies, and Institution Building
- Set up founder mentoring and investor introduction touchpoints in partnership with Venture Studio.




- Build relationships with government fellowship programs, think tanks, and public policy institutions
- Support graduate school and PhD applications for learners headed to research
- Create pathways into philanthropic and mission-driven organizations for learners interested in institution building.

Learner journey and engagement

- Run structured touchpoints across all four years: exposure and discovery in Year 1, internships and mission projects in Year 2, mentorship and capstones in Year 3, and launch support in Year 4
- Track long-term alumni outcomes, not just first-job placement

Partnerships

- Serve as relationship owner for external partners tied to Rishihood's National Missions (hospitals, government bodies, industry associations, research centres, and similar)
- Build and maintain the alumni network for mentorship, recruitment, and lifelong engagement

Technology and reporting

- Explore and deploy AI tools for career discovery, skills gap analysis, interview simulation, and opportunity matching, so advisors can focus on mentorship and relationships.
- Report to the COO Office on placement outcomes and pathway metrics each term

Requirements

- 8 to 12 years of experience in placements, career services, campus relations, or corporate HR/talent acquisition, with a proven track record of building employer relationships and running placement operations
- Comfort working across both tactical execution (calls, drives, spreadsheets) and long-term relationship building (government, investors, alumni)
- Solid communication skills and ability to coach students one on one
- Familiarity with the Indian higher education and hiring landscape; startup, government, or public policy exposure is a plus
- Belief in the idea that a university's job is to prepare people for multiple kinds of professional success, not just a job offer
