Position: Deputy Director – Office of Admissions
Location: New Delhi
Organisation: Very Reputed interdisciplinary University in Delhi/NCR, India
Compensation: upto 50LPA

Role Overview:
We are hiring, on behalf of a premier liberal arts and sciences university, a Deputy Director for its Office of Admissions — a role at the heart of how the institution selects the students who shape its community. This is not an outreach, marketing, or student-recruitment role. It's an academic evaluation and decision-making leadership position — reviewing applications, running interview panels, making scholarship and admit calls, and guiding families through some of the most key decisions of their lives.

What you'll do
Lead academic quality control across application review, shortlisting, and student interviews
Own due diligence on admissions and scholarship decisions
Be the calm, credible voice for parents and students navigating decisions and retention conversations
Elevate the academic rigour and evaluative depth of the wider admissions team
Travel periodically to meet students and families

What we're looking for




14–18 years of experience, with 10+ years leading or working closely within teams
A genuine, credible interest in liberal education, ideas, and current affairs — this isn't a checkbox, it shows up in every conversation and decision you'll make here
Excellent written and verbal communication — you'll be reading essays, writing decisions, and speaking with anxious parents in the same week
Comfort with data and analysis to inform (not replace) human judgement
An empathetic, patient, perceptive listener who can hold difficult conversations with grace
A proactive, detail-obsessed operator who thrives under deadline pressure

How to apply
Send your CV along with a half-page note on your fitment for this role to [email protected]

Non-Negotiables
Excellent command of written and spoken English
Based in or willing to relocate to Delhi-NCR
Willing to work within a compressed, cyclical admissions calendar (Oct–Jul) with periodic travel
