**Role: Global Programmes Administrator**

**Location: India - Mumbai/Bangalore**

**Job type: Full time, permanent - hybrid**

This position offers a hybrid work model, allowing flexibility between working from home and our office.

Typically, employees are expected to work 2 days in the office per week.

**Why QS?**

At QS, we believe that work should empower you. That’s why we foster a flexible working environment that encourages every employee to own their career whilst flourishing personally and professionally. Our company values underpin everything we do - we collaborate, respect and support each other.

It’s our mission to empower motivated people around the world to fulfil their potential through higher education, ensuring that everyone has access to opportunities that change lives.

Our diversity makes us stronger. By sharing our experiences, we learn from one another and achieve more together, driving progress across the sector.

At QS, you’ll be responsible for implementing real change in the international higher education landscape. You’ll take on meaningful challenges that see a positive impact across the business and the wider sector.

We’re confident you’ll feel right at home here.

As our Administrator, you’ll be at the very centre of the action - the vital connector behind the scenes who ensures everything runs like clockwork. You’ll coordinate across global time zones, support cutting-edge projects, and be the go-to person for a wide range of stakeholders, from leading universities and ambitious students to global industry partners.

This isn’t your typical administrative role. It’s for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, mission-led environment, takes pride in meticulous organisation, and relishes being the calm, confident force that brings clarity to complexity.

We’re looking for:

- A master of organisation with a proven track record in high-level administrative or project support
- A confident communicator who builds collaborative relationships with ease
- Someone excited to work at the intersection of education, innovation, and global change

If you’re ready to take on a role that is as meaningful as it is dynamic, and want to be part of something exclusive and globally significant, we’d love to hear from you.

- Ability to multitask, prioritise and work on tight deadlines in a fast-pace environment.
- Keeping up to date of both internal and external trends to help shape continuous growth and development of the Consortiums.

**Key skills and experience**

- Excellent organisational and multitasking skills.
- Strong verbal and written communication abilities.
- A proactive mindset and the ability to work independently.
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office.
