About the Role

Gurukul The School is looking for a dynamic, polished, highly observant and technology-driven professional for the position of Manager – PRO, Communication & Parent Relations.

The role will serve as the first-level institutional interface for parents, visitors, prospective parents, candidates, vendors and other stakeholders, across in-person, telephone and digital communication.

The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of the K–12 education system and school operations, enabling them to understand and respond intelligently to a wide range of day-to-day queries. The person should be a fast learner who can quickly understand the processes, people and working culture of the school and effectively coordinate with the relevant authorities when a query requires further intervention.
