Reporting

- Execute the founders' vision and standards faithfully, escalating key decisions for approval.

What Success Looks Like

In the first 90 days

- You know every child, parent and team member by name, and the centre runs smoothly without founder intervention in daily matters.
- Daily, weekly and monthly reporting is in place and reaching the founders on time.
- Admissions follow-ups are structured, with no lead left uncontacted.

In the first year

- Enrolment grows steadily, with solid conversion from enquiry to admission.
- Parents are satisfied and re-enrol, and the centre earns referrals.
- Fees are collected on time and the centre stays within budget.
- The team is stable, motivated and performing, with low turnover.
- Safety and compliance records are complete and audit-ready, with zero preventable incidents.

Who You Are

- Experience in school, preschool or centre operations, or in a comparable customer-facing management role.
- Strong communicator in English and Hindi, in writing and in person.
- Comfortable with sales and conversions, people management,



and basic finance.
- Organised, dependable and detail-oriented, with a calm approach under pressure.
- Someone who takes ownership and can be trusted with children, cash and confidential information.

- Minimum 5 years of experience in preschool operations, admission counselling school leadership, academic planning, curriculum mapping.
- Excellent organisational and multitasking abilities.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.

This Role Is Not for You If

- You prefer a fixed, narrow job description. This role covers admissions, parents, staff, finance and compliance, often on the same day.
- You are looking for a teaching-only or purely desk-based role. You will be on the floor, on calls and in front of parents.
- You need detailed instructions at every step. You are expected to take ownership, and to escalate rather than wait.
- You are not comfortable with sales targets, follow-ups and numbers. Enrolment and fee collection are part of the job.
- You are looking for a short-term stop. We want someone who will build and stay with the centre.
