What This Role Is
Every year, hundreds of thousands of students across India decide they want to study abroad. They choose a destination, find a counselor or agent, start an application — and then enter a process that, for most of them, is opaque, slow, and full of friction. Documents go missing. Deadlines are missed. University portals time out. Applications that should take days take weeks. The student is waiting. The university is waiting. And somewhere in the middle, the operational infrastructure either holds or it doesn't.
At Manifest Global, the student placements function is the engine that makes this work at scale. Across destinations — UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond — thousands of student applications move through a system that has to be fast, accurate, and consistent, every intake cycle, without fail. Application preparation, submission, tagging, tracking, university coordination, invoicing — every step in that chain has to run cleanly for the business to convert at the rate it needs to and realise the revenue it has built.
Right now,
the infrastructure exists. The volume is growing. What's needed is the person who owns it — not just manages it, but builds it into something that scales without breaking, performs under pressure, and improves measurably cycle over cycle. That's what this role is.
The Head of Operations, is the operational authority for the student placements function across Manifest Global. You'll own the full application lifecycle, the team that executes it, the metrics that measure it, and the processes that hold it together when volume is high and timelines are tight. This is a leadership role for someone who has built operations in high-volume environments before and knows exactly what outstanding looks like, and who wants that operational foundation to be the launchpad for something bigger: building the central operating infrastructure for a multi-brand, multi-country group that's still expanding.
