- Work with the operations team to manage the course admissions funnel, from awareness to enquiry to enrolment, and continuously improve conversion.





Brand & Values

- Maintain and strengthen the brand equity of Takshashila's education programmes, ensuring all marketing reflects our values and our standards of credibility.
- Build loyalty among current learners and alumni, so that they become our most effective advocates.

Community & Outreach

- Design and run outreach initiatives with our student and alumni community, including alumni networks, ambassador programmes, testimonials, events and referral initiatives.
- Build partnerships with universities, organisations and skilled networks to extend the reach of our programmes.

Team & Budget Management

- Lead, mentor and manage a marketing team, and coordinate with the internal teams, agencies and vendors.
- Own and manage the marketing budget, allocating spend for impact and reporting on return on investment.

What We’re Looking For

- A proven track record of developing and executing annual marketing plans with measurable results.
- Experience managing teams and budgets.
- Strong command of digital marketing, including performance marketing, SEO/SEM, email, social media and analytics tools, along with experience running offline campaigns and events.
- Excellent writing and communication skills, and the judgement to market an intellectually serious institution without diluting it.
