Administration & Operations Manager A leadership role for a young, ambitious operator — grow into running an entire campus.

1. The Role in One LineRun the day-to-day operation of a growing boarding school — the hostels, the campus, the food, the support staff, the student-life experience — and lead the team that makes it all work. This is a stretch role: we are deliberately looking for someone earlier in their career who is hungry to take on real ownership and grow into a senior operations leader as the school grows.

2. About PlenumPlenum is a future-focused boarding school in the hills of Himachal Pradesh, nurturing aspirational students into young people of courage, consistency, capability, compassion, and character. We combine academic excellence with real-world skills, supported by technology-enabled systems, English immersion, and a coaching culture where every adult on campus is a mentor and role model.

We are growing — and we build our operations like a serious institution, with clear systems, routines, and standards rather than jugaad. The person in this role will be central to that.

3. Why Join Us: A Call to AdventurePlenum is more than a workplace — it is a mission, set in the forests and hills of Himachal.

This is a rare chance to run an entire campus operation far earlier in your career than you would get anywhere else. You will own real responsibility from day one, lead a team of wardens and support staff, and directly shape the daily life and safety of a residential community of children. If you are ambitious, organised, and want to grow fast into a senior leadership role, this is built for you.

At Plenum, we offer:

- Real ownership and decision-making from the start — not a desk job.
- Regular training, mentorship, and a clear path to grow into senior leadership as the school expands.
- A transparent, supportive, systems-driven culture.
- Free boarding and food on a beautiful hill campus.

4. What You Will Own (Responsibilities & Outcomes)You will be responsible for the smooth, secure,



and warm running of the entire non-academic campus operation. In practice, that means:

Boarding & Student Life. Ensure hostels are clean, disciplined, safe, and cheerful. Oversee daily routines, student wellbeing, and a warm hostel culture where students feel genuinely cared for and fairly treated. Make sure hostel events and celebrations run well.

Team Leadership. Lead and motivate the residential and support team — wardens, nurse, counsellor, and non-teaching staff. Set clear expectations, meet them regularly, solve their problems, and build a team that holds high standards because they want to, not because they are forced to.

Food & Mess Quality. Oversee kitchen hygiene, food variety and quality, and clean drinking water. Keep student complaints low and push vendors and kitchen staff to keep improving.

Campus Infrastructure & Maintenance. Keep classrooms, bathrooms, hostels, and staff housing functional, clean, and teaching-ready. Solve maintenance problems proactively rather than letting repairs pile up.

Vendors & Procurement. Oversee the quality of groceries, cleaning supplies, and repairs. Check deliveries, build reliable vendor relationships, and escalate quality or pricing issues appropriately.

Staff Management & HR. Handle staff leave, disputes, and morale with fairness and maturity. Keep the team motivated and the culture healthy.

Student Care Oversight. Ensure minor illnesses are handled quickly and serious cases are escalated to parents properly, working closely with the nurse and counsellor so no child slips through the cracks.

Culture & Non-Negotiables. Uphold Plenum's values and non-negotiables — respect, fairness, no bullying, growing English use,



consistent discipline — and model them yourself.

Coordination. Work closely with the finance and academic teams so that budgets, hostel schedules, and study routines all align, and flag risks early to leadership.

What good looks like: hostels feel warm and run smoothly, students are safe and happy, staff trust and respect you, the campus is well-maintained, food quality is good, and problems are anticipated and solved before they grow — all with minimal need for top-down chasing.

5.

Who We Are Looking For

- A graduate with roughly 2–5 years of experience in operations, administration, hospitality, facility/campus management, or a similar hands-on coordinating role. School or hostel experience is a plus but not essential.
- Genuinely organised and systems-minded — you like building routines and checklists, and you follow through.
- A natural people-manager: firm but fair, calm under pressure, able to earn the respect of a team older or more experienced than you.
- Ambitious and hungry to grow — you want responsibility and a path to senior leadership, not a comfortable 9-to-5.
- Warm and student-centred, with the maturity to help care for a residential community of children.
- Willing to live on campus and be part of boarding-school life.
- Comfortable using simple digital tools (spreadsheets, WhatsApp, basic trackers) to run operations.

6. Remuneration & Perks

- Salary: ₹30,000 – ₹40,000 per month, with scope up to ₹50,000 for an exceptional candidate.
- Free boarding and food on campus.
- Annual bonus pools and performance incentives.
- Ongoing training, mentorship, and a real path to grow into senior leadership as the school expands.
