Role: Project Lead (Category Manager) – Onsite at HACA, Calicut
About the Role

At HACA, every Project Lead is the Mini CEO of their vertical. You will own the business, product, and operations of one school or category end-to-end. This is not just a managerial role — this is full ownership: driving revenue growth, ensuring student success, managing teams, and scaling operations sustainably.

We're looking for builders - leaders who can drive, innovate, and execute while inspiring teams to deliver world-class outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Business Ownership

  • Own P&L for your vertical — revenue, cost, profitability, and growth.
  • Drive student enrollment targets, placement success, and category expansion.
  • Identify and execute new growth opportunities and partnerships.

Product & Academic Excellence

  • Work with Academic Excellence and Mentors to deliver high-quality programs.
  • Ensure every learner experience (online + offline) meets HACA's benchmarks.
  • Collaborate on curriculum, product roadmap, and innovation in delivery.

Operations & Team Leadership

  • Lead a cross-functional team of Student Happiness Officers, Sales, and Academic staff.
  • Build systems and processes for smooth daily operations across locations.
  • Solve operational bottlenecks quickly and build scalable solutions.

Strategy & Execution

  • Translate HACA's vision into actionable monthly/quarterly OKRs.
  • Balance long-term category growth with short-term execution discipline.
  • Track and report performance metrics regularly to leadership.

Student Success & Satisfaction

  • Ensure students achieve desired outcomes - placements, projects, growth.
  • Implement strong retention and satisfaction programs.
  • Proactively identify risks or issues impacting student experience and solve them.
What We're Looking For
  • 3–6 years of experience in business operations, edtech, or category management.
  • Strong leadership and people management skills - able to inspire and hold teams accountable.
  • High ownership mindset - ability to act like an entrepreneur within the org.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and execution capabilities.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Hustling attitude: hands-on, resourceful, and outcome-driven.
Why HACA?
  • Be the Mini CEO of a vertical: full ownership, freedom, and accountability.
  • Work directly with the founders and senior leadership to scale impact globally.
  • Build something trusted in Kerala, respected worldwide.
  • Accelerated growth path - Project Leads evolve into Zonal Heads, Country Managers, and beyond as we expand.
