ABOUT VAL-ED INITIATIVES
Val-Ed Initiatives is transforming education by designing and building India's first-of-its-kind Values Labs — dedicated, immersive
spaces (alongside programs and products) that build values, life skills and socio-emotional learning in children. We partner with
schools across India to create inspiring learning environments where students, educators and parents connect, converse and
grow — leading to stronger character, well-being and human flourishing.
Trusted by 50+ schools and recommended by Sudha Murthy, Chairperson of Infosys Foundation, we've already reached 20,000+
students with the world's first dedicated Values Lab concept. Website: www.valedindia.com
THE CHANCE
We're looking for a Senior Learning Spaces Designer to lead the design and delivery of Values Labs and other learning
environments for schools across India — from the first concept sketch to the final walkthrough. You'll work closely with school
leadership, architects, vendors and our internal learning design team to turn ideas into physical spaces that shape how
thousands of children experience empathy, self-reflection and character every day. As a senior member of the team, you'll also
lead projects end-to-end, mentor junior designers, and own key client relationships.
AS A SENIOR DESIGNER, YOU'LL ALSO
- Lead projects end-to-end, from concept through completion
- Mentor and guide junior designers
- Own key client relationships from pitch to project close
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Design & Space Planning
▸ Research, conceptualise and design educational spaces and elements that are functional, engaging and aesthetically
compelling
▸ Develop concept sketches, mood boards and material palettes
▸ Build 3D visualisations using SketchUp, Enscape or similar software
▸ Prepare detailed AutoCAD drawings and technical documentation
▸ Recommend materials, furniture, lighting and finishes that balance design intent with budget
▸ Track emerging design trends and sustainable materials to keep our spaces ahead of the curve
Client & Stakeholder Management
▸ Understand each school's needs through meetings and site visits
▸ Present design concepts and translate client feedback into refined designs
▸ Prepare polished, client-ready presentations
▸ Lead client and vendor meetings
▸ Maintain minutes of meetings, progress reports and project documentation
Project Execution
▸ Coordinate closely with vendors, contractors and internal teams
▸ Monitor execution to keep projects on quality, budget and timeline
▸ Travel for local and outstation site visits
▸ Troubleshoot on-site design and execution issues in real time
Cross-Functional Collaboration
▸ Partner with educators, curriculum, and sales/finance teams to ensure every space serves its educational purpose
▸ Coordinate with content, operations, procurement and implementation teams across the project lifecycle
Process & Team
▸ Continuously improve project execution processes and standardise design templates
▸ Maintain clean, current project documentation
▸ Manage multiple projects in parallel
Represent Val-Ed
▸ Represent Val-Ed at education and design conferences across India — on stage, at the stall, and in post-conference
networking
▸ Build presentation decks used for sales and marketing“
I only accept invitations on initiatives that are unique and different. After seeing the Val-Ed Value Lab, I can
say this type of lab is needed in every school.
