Position: Deputy Director – Office of Admissions

Location: Recent 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 important 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
