Profile Overview: We are looking for a proactive and personable Associate to join our Client Acquisition & Partnerships team. This role sits at the heart of Gyansthan’s outreach efforts and building relationships with school principals, deans, and parents, and translating those relationships into sales that drive growth for the organization. It's a great fit for someone who enjoys people-facing work, is comfortable traveling regularly, and likes contributing ideas as much as executing them.

• Identify, connect with, and build relationships with school principals and directors, college deans, university chancellors and parents to introduce our offerings and explore collaboration opportunities via cold calls, emails and messages.

2. On-Ground Engagement

• Travel to schools and colleges for in-person meetings, orientations, and events to represent the organization and drive institutional buy-in.

3. Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work closely with internal teams to ensure outreach efforts are well-supported and follow-ups are executed smoothly.

4. Relationship Management

• Maintain and nurture ongoing relationships with existing institutional partners and parent networks to ensure continuity and repeat engagement.

5. Reporting & Feedback

• Track outreach activities, gather feedback from institutions/parents, and share insights with the team to refine strategy.

What are we looking out for in applicants?

• Bachelor's degree in any discipline (preference for education, business, or communications backgrounds, but not mandatory).
• Prior experience in the education sector (EdTech, schools, colleges, or related institutions).
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build rapport with senior stakeholders (principals, deans) as well as parents.
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently within Maharashtra and India.
• Creative thinker who can contribute ideas for new partnership models and initiatives.
• Self-starter with good organizational and follow-up skills.

Work Schedule Notes

Standard office hours are 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, but given the nature of school/college engagement, some flexibility is required. Occasional early starts for school visits or later finishes for evening parent sessions.

Pay: ₹25,000.00 - ₹45,000.00 per month
