About Us

Ignify Pre School helps entrepreneurs and educators launch their own pre schools on a zero-royalty, own-brand model – no franchise fee, no recurring royalty, complete ownership of their brand. We provide the curriculum, the setup blueprint, the admissions engine and the operating systems. Ignify Solutions is an ISO 9001:2015 certified K-12 education consulting firm with 65+ school engagements across India.

We are now expanding pan-India and are looking for a Centre Manager who can take a pre school from an empty space to a full classroom – and then do it again in the next city.

About the Role

This is not a desk job at a single centre. You will own the end-to-end launch and ramp-up of new pre schools across India – setup, admissions, marketing and operations – working directly with the founding team. If you have run a pre school and know what actually fills seats, this role lets you do it at scale and earn on every centre you help set up.

3. Marketing & Outreach

- Build and execute a local-area marketing calendar for each centre – societies, play areas, clinics, malls, activity centres

- Run BTL activations, open houses, workshops and festival campaigns that generate walk-ins

- Support digital lead generation: campaign inputs, WhatsApp and social follow-up, review generation

- Build referral programmes with existing parents and local partners

- Coordinate branding collateral, standees, brochures and signage for every launch

4. Operations & Academics

- Implement daily operating SOPs – attendance, safety, hygiene, transport, parent communication

- Roll out the Ignify pre-nursery to senior KG curriculum and daily planners at each centre

- Support teacher hiring, induction and training in coordination with the Ignify team

- Monitor fee collection,



batch utilisation and parent satisfaction at every centre

- Resolve escalations and keep owner and parent communication professional and prompt

5. Reporting

- Share a weekly report on enquiries, admissions, setup milestones and centre health

- Maintain trackers in Excel or Google Sheets with accurate, up-to-date numbers
