Senior Associate

Why do we exist? What do we do?

The quality of school education available to students from low-income communities across India is abysmal. Their chances of attending college, or building a career are significantly lower than their high-income peers, condemning them to a life without voice or choice. iTeach was born in 2015 to challenge this status quo and create a level playing field for ALL children. 

We run free and high-impact schools and an exceptional college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai. We are known for our world-class professional development, our result-oriented team culture, and our student-centric school design. Read more about us at   

Responsibilities

The iTeach College to Career Team aims to have all our alumni make it to and through college and get their first sustainable job aligned with their personal vision. This is their first step in pulling themselves and their families out of poverty. We do this work through four centers: Admissions and Scholarships, Near-peer Mentoring, Lifeguarding and the Career Center.  

The Career Center empowers our alumni to crack internships, part-time jobs, volunteering opportunities, and when ready to graduate, great full-time jobs. The Senior Associate - Alumni Placement will catalyze these efforts by bringing on board a fantastic set of partner companies and project managing the entire placement process.
