About the Job

We are seeking a dynamic and upskill-ready Executive Assistant to support a senior education leader involved in transformative academic ventures across India and globally. This is not a conventional EA role—it blends strategic thinking with administrative precision, emotional intelligence with digital agility, and a deep understanding of both education and executive leadership rhythms.

The Chance

This role offers you a front-row seat to high-impact educational initiatives shaping the future of learning. As a trusted proxy and operational partner, you’ll work closely with leadership to drive priorities, manage complexity across time zones, ensure compliance, and enable a culture of integrity and innovation. If you’re curious about the evolving academic landscape, and are equally comfortable managing calendars and curating thought leadership, this is your stage.

Your Key Responsibilities

- Provide high-trust executive support including calendar management, travel, confidential correspondence, and prioritization of commitments
- Coordinate multi-stakeholder meetings across Indian and US time zones with precision and empathy
- Manage the leader’s digital presence (especially LinkedIn), supporting content strategy and positioning as a Top Education Voice
- Track and follow up on action items, governance commitments, legal and compliance timelines
- Act as a strategic sounding board, analyzing information and risks, escalating intelligently
- Stay aware of educational trends, emerging tech (especially AI), and global best practices
- Drive operational excellence in the back-office with hygiene, discretion, and emotional boundaries
- Create internal documents, notes, decks, and briefing papers with academic tone and clarity
- Liaise with institutional partners, donors, and academic leaders with professionalism and warmth

Skills for Success

- Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills across hierarchies
- Solid writing skills with an ability to draft sharp, academic-aligned content




- Confident in using tech tools (Google Suite, Notion, Zoom, Canva, LinkedIn, and more)
- Ability to handle ambiguity and bring structure to fluid or evolving tasks
- Working knowledge of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Notion AI, Grammarly AI) and openness to experimentation
- High integrity in managing confidential data, sensitive documents, and strategic memory

Key Attributes

- Emotionally intelligent, with clear boundaries and strong personal hygiene
- Mature, measured, and calm in high-pressure or sensitive environments
- Open-minded and willing to learn from a diverse group of educators, policy makers, and technologists
- Committed to the long-term mission and able to work with fluid roles and undefined paths
- Analytical thinker, capable of understanding risk, compliance, and contextual decision-making
- Self-driven, dependable, and values-aligned—showing up consistently even without supervision

Ideally, You Will Also Have

- 5–8 years of experience in EA or Chief of Staff roles in education, non-profit, or consulting settings
- A natural interest in education, child development, policy, or social impact
- Experience supporting founders, academic leaders, or C-level stakeholders
- Comfort working across Indian and international contexts
- Experience writing or editing LinkedIn content, blogs, or thought leadership

What We Offer

- A chance to work alongside visionaries in education and contribute to real-world impact

- Flexible, hybrid work with high ownership and trust
- Access to a wide network of education leaders, researchers, and ecosystem partners
