About Param:

Param Foundation “PARAM” is a Trust, reimagining experiential learning through Science, Innovation, Education, History, Art, and Culture. PARAM undertakes its work through experiential learning centres, transdisciplinary programs, exhibitions, knowledge dissemination, and research-led initiatives aimed at benefitting the student community, science enthusiasts, researchers, artists, art patrons and the public at large. By blending science, history and art education with real-world applications, PARAM aims to make science an integral part of everyday life while fostering a culture of curiosity and innovation.

About the Role:

The Business Head makes sure Param is financially sustainable and every service line is set up to grow - while protecting the narrative and philosophy that make Param what it is. This is a leadership role holding commercial responsibility across the organisation. Param is building something worth talking about - and we need someone who can make the world feel it. This role owns the Param narrative across every touchpoint, turning what happens inside our centres into stories that spread.

This is an on-ground leadership role. Param is built in person, at our centres, with our people, partners, and communities.

What you'll own

- Overall revenue and long-term sustainability of the Foundation.
- Ensuring every service line is properly set up and growing.
- The commercial arms of consulting and other ventures.
- Leadership of the business teams: Brand & Marketing, Sales, Academy & Community, Fundraising, Event Management, and Merch & Consulting (LLP).
- Balancing commercial pressure with the creative and core narrative - growth that doesn't dilute the mission.




- Oversee all special purpose vehicles for commercial initiatives.
- The Param narrative end to end - voice, design, and philosophy stay consistent everywhere, from a social post to a printed report.
- Real stories, captured at the source: from centres, makers, visitors, employees, volunteers, donors, and partners.
- Our talent brand, internal and external - making Param a place people want to work at and be associated with.
- Publishing: newsletters, bytes, impact reports, and thought leadership that build authority over time.
- The Param calendar and full outreach strategy - driving both awareness and actual footfall.
- The complete marketing engine: social, ads, website, performance marketing, SEO, CRM, PR, and physical campaigns.
- The full customer journey - discovery → visit → retention - is owned as one connected experience, not siloed channels.

What We're Looking For

- Hungry, passionate and under the age of 38.
- Proven experience scaling organisations and owning P&Ls; across multiple fields - you've done this before, not just advised on it.
- Experience in the creative or cultural economy, and a real feel for how value is built there.
- A solid bias towards people who understand the value of innovation - and know how to turn it into revenue.
- A commercial leader who can grow revenue and still say no when a decision would hurt the brand.
- Someone who's led multiple functions and can set structure across diverse teams.
- Deep ownership: you treat the Foundation's sustainability as your personal mandate.
- A strong storyteller who's equally comfortable with a narrative arc and a performance dashboard.
- Someone who leverages Param’s and their network and finds creative, low-cost ways to spread the word.
- A builder, not a maintainer - you'll set up the systems, not just run existing ones.
- Bias to ownership: you treat global awareness and interest as yours to move.
- Proven capability of leveraging tech to stay ahead of the curve. (Example - should have spun off AI agents to do their outreach)
