School Academic Head - Pedagogy & Teacher Development

Were looking for an Academic Head who wants to build something big from the ground up. This is a 0-1 journey: You'll work closely with principals on the ground to shape implementation, while sparring with leadership on strategy and big-picture solutions. If you love being in classrooms as much as you love designing roadmaps, this might be for you.

Who were looking for

• You've run a high-quality school as Principal or Academic Coordinator, and you know what academic transformation looks like.
• You can inspire and coach principals - you have the executive presence and emotional quotient to lead leaders.
• You bring a clear vision of school excellence, shaped by exposure to evidence-based programs and world-best pedagogies.
• You thrive in ambiguity and high velocity: twists, turns, ups and downs don't scare you, they energize you.

What you'll do

• Build flagship schools that showcase excellence and act as teacher training centers.
• Design teacher development systems and peer-learning structures that actually stick.
• Ensure consistent, high-quality pedagogy across schools, balancing CBSE alignment with progressive practices.
• Scale without losing academic depth or quality.

What you need

• 15-20 years in education, with deep experience in curriculum design, teacher training, and academic leadership.
• A strong track record of building academic systems across 10+ schools.
• Comfort working across both premium and resource-constrained schools.

What we can promise

I wont pitch you work-life balance and weekends off. This is hard, high-velocity work. But heres what you do get:

• The chance to shape education for thousands of children.
• A partner who works as hard as you do.
• Rapid learning, growth, and the satisfaction of building something enduring.
• Compensation thats competitive at senior leadership level, with ESOPs.
