City Director
4 weeks ago
Position Summary
The City Director (CD) plays a critical role in unleashing the potential and power of a local movement for educational equity in this metropolis. This individual creates and shapes a vision for the city that is rooted in the local context and develops a long-term strategy that will fully realise the regional vision. The City Director, therefore, has a five-fold charge:
1. Ensuring that Delhi’s Teach For India Fellows are not only driving transformational outcomes for children in classrooms, but that they’re growing as leaders.
2. Fostering a local, growing Alumni movement that is committed to providing all children an excellent education.
3. Building a local, enduring institution that promotes sustainable funding, talent, and operations – including assembling effective teams and resources, coaching talent to outcomes and leading the site rooted in strong culture.
4. Serving as a critical organisational leader for operations that span Teach For India’s vision and mission.
5. Co-creating the strategy & roadmap to serve 1 in 10 children from low income communities in Delhi.
To achieve that five-fold charge, the CD works closely with the local program team to create an ecosystem of support for Fellows that enables them to be successful in their roles as teachers and future leaders of the movement. The CD also works to foster a sense of community among Alumni in the city and mobilises them towards shared goals, while also building partnerships with a range of government, corporate, and civil society players to catalyse systemic impact and ensure the long-term sustainability of our efforts. Last but not least, the CD plays an integral role in building the capability and commitment of members of the Delhi City Operations team to contribute to our mission in the long-term.
