Why do we exist? What do we do?
Role Summary
Major Responsibilities
Qualifications and Competencies
The quality of school education available to low-income students across India is abysmal — it decides, before they've had a real shot, whether they'll ever attend college or build a career. iTeach Schools was born in 2015 to break that pattern and build a level playing field for every child.
We run free, high-impact schools and a college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai, known for world-class professional development, a results-driven culture, and student-centric school design. More at www.iTeachSchools.org.
Role Summary
iTeach is at an inflection point. In 2025, we set out to more than double our reach — from 4,500 to 10,000+ students — by opening 10-12 new schools over the next 5 years. That's a decade of growth in half the time, powered by strong municipal demand, solid funding, and a deep talent pipeline.
The Growth & Expansion Manager will drive that growth end to end: representing iTeach with government at every level, building the strategy for where we go next, and carrying each new Municipal Corporation from first conversation to a signed partnership. This role owns the machinery that turns growth intent into schools on the ground.
Major Responsibilities
A: Expansion — Strategy and Execution
- Build and drive iTeach's 3-year expansion strategy across Municipal Corporations in Maharashtra and beyond, translating our 2030 growth goals into a concrete roadmap.
- Own the full expansion pipeline end to end — proposal drafting, pitching, tender release and management, through to final work order award.
- Lead on-ground landscape studies with our government partnerships associates to scope space, infrastructure, and educational gaps, and identify the best-fit opportunities for iTeach.
- Design and implement strategies to secure government funding to support new and existing schools.
B: Government Liaisoning and Compliance
- Build and hold relationships with administrative and political decision-makers across 8-10 Municipal Corporations, championing iTeach's mission at every level of government.
- Manage the Government Relations Associates to keep all iTeach schools compliant with government regulations and law.
- Maintain iTeach's standing as the Municipal Corporations' most trusted non-profit school operator.
C: Team and Planning
- Set the annual implementation plan for the expansion vertical, including budget requirements.
- Manage and coach the Government Relations Associates supporting expansion work in each Municipal Corporation.
Qualifications and Competencies
- 5+ years in the social sector or public-facing roles, with at least 2 years managing people, ideally with exposure to government relations or public policy.
- A track record of building relationships with senior stakeholders and moving decisions forward in bureaucratic, often slow-moving environments.
- Comfort owning ambiguity — this is a build-as-you-go role inside a fast-growing organization.
- Strong communication, presentation, and influencing skills; equally sharp writing a tender response and pitching a Municipal Commissioner.
- Preferred Languages: Fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Marathi and English.
Location
- Based in Mumbai. Willing to travel across Greater Mumbai, Mumbai, Pune and other Municipal Corporations in Maharashtra and beyond — as our footprint grows.
