Hiring for: Aarambh Programme, DPS Varanasi

Assistant Program Leader — Community & Culture

Location: DPS Varanasi (on-campus; relocation supported for the right candidate) Reports to: Program Leader, Aarambh
Employment type: Full time
Experience: 8–12 years

About Aarambh:
Aarambh is an IB-inspired programme running inside DPS Varanasi. It was co-created with a founding group of mentor parents over six months of ground-up design conversations, and today it runs from Grades 1–6 with a clear roadmap — PYP accreditation, IGCSE in middle school, and IBDP thereafter. Longer term, Aarambh is our vehicle to establish the most elite school in Varanasi, eventually branching out from a programme-within-DPS into a standalone school.
DPS Varanasi is one of five K-12 campuses in the DPS network run by Equanimity Learning.

Why this role exists:
Aarambh has reached the point where community — the relationship with parents, the internal culture teachers and children live in every day, and the school's presence in Varanasi — needs a single, senior owner. This is the No.2 role in the programme.




The Program Leader owns academic direction. This role owns community and culture. Clear lanes, one reporting line, no shared authority.

What you'll own:
External community & parents
Extend and deepen the Mentor Parent programme into a formal parent-council structure across grades
Design and run parent forums, workshops, and open houses — turn them into a rhythm parents look forward to
Orchestrate admissions events end-to-end: open houses, tours, information sessions
Own Aarambh's brand and communications in Varanasi — brochure, WhatsApp cadence, newsletters, event visibility, word-of-mouth engineering
Admissions funnel
Convert Aarambh's reputation into enrolment growth. Own the funnel from enquiry to confirmed admission, work with the front office on lead handling, and deliver an annual enrolment target agreed with the Program Leader
Internal culture
Build the connective tissue between tea
