Corporate Relations Head The Techno Group of Institutions

Department: Corporate Relations & Placements

Reports To: President / Director General

Location: On-site (campus-based)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Compensation: Competitive, benchmarked to market

About the Role The Corporate Relations Head will own the intersection of industry partnerships, student placements, and programme marketing. This person will be the institution’s outward face to the corporate world - building employer relationships, driving placement outcomes, and creating market visibility for key academic programmes.

We are looking for someone with the credibility and network of a seasoned HR leader or corporate talent head - someone who understands what companies look for when hiring fresh graduates, and can work backwards from that to shape placement strategy and programme positioning.

Key Responsibilities

Placements & Corporate Partnerships

- Build and lead the campus placement function end-to-end - from employer outreach to offer closure.
- Develop a pipeline of corporate relationships across sectors (IT, manufacturing, BFSI, healthcare, services, startups) for recurring placement drives.
- Act as the single point of contact for corporate HR and talent acquisition teams hiring from the institution.
- Negotiate MoUs, internship tie-ups, guest lecture panels, and industry-sponsored projects.
- Track and improve placement metrics - offer rates, average CTC, recruiter diversity, and student satisfaction. Programme Marketing & Visibility
- Work with admissions and academic teams to market select programmes (e.g. MBA Elevate) to prospective students and parents.




- Leverage corporate partnerships to create co-branded or industry-endorsed programme narratives that strengthen enrolment appeal.
- Represent the institution at education expos, industry summits, and HR forums.
- Drive content creation - placement reports, success stories, employer testimonials - for marketing collateral and digital channels. Team & Operations
- Build and manage a placement and outreach team with clear KPIs around corporate engagement and placement throughput.
- Set up systems for tracking employer relationships, scheduling drives, and managing student readiness programmes (mock interviews, resume workshops, aptitude prep).

Ideal Candidate Profile

- 8+ years of experience in HR, talent acquisition, corporate relations, or business development - ideally in mid-sized or growing organisations.
- Has led or significantly shaped the HR/TA function at a company and wants to bring that expertise to the education sector.
- Prior exposure to campus recruitment from the employer side is a strong plus.
- Solid corporate network across 2–3 industry verticals with the ability to open doors at the CXO / HR-head level.
- Familiarity with the Indian higher-education landscape and regional employer ecosystems.
- MBA or equivalent postgraduate degree preferred; not mandatory if experience speaks for itself.

Why This Role

- High-impact, high-visibility - directly shaping student outcomes and institutional reputation.
- Autonomy to build the function your way, with leadership backing.
- Opportunity to bridge the gap between industry and academia in a meaningful, measurable way.
