Compensation
INR 40 - 65 LPA + equity.
Engagement
Full-Time
Permanent role. Full-time commitment. Remote-first, with periodic in-person off-sites.
Scope of role
Set direction within your domain. Build and mentor a team. Own outcomes at the function level.
01 — The role
Why this role exists at EduRankAI
Own day-to-day execution of the CSR + impact agenda. Programmes, measurement, partner management, reporting. Make the Chief CSR Officer's strategy real. You'll thrive here if: you have run programmes at multi-state scale and you read logframes for sport. You can manage partner relationships across NGOs, government, and donors without losing your moral centre. You'll struggle here if: you measure your team by deck count or by meeting calendar volume.
02 — The work
What you will own
- 01 Own delivery on every CSR + sustainability programme — quarterly reviews, corrective action, public reporting.
- 02 Manage partner relationships across NGOs, government, donor agencies, audit firms.
- 03 Own the impact measurement framework and the dashboard finance and the board look at.
- 04 Run quarterly impact reviews with the Founder's Office and the Chief CSR Officer.
- 05 Coach Programme Directors and senior managers; build the muscle that survives your departure.
- 06 Liaise with finance + legal on compliance and audited disclosures.
03 — The expertise
What we look for
04 — The bar
Who thrives here
- → You have led an impact org of at least 10 across multiple states or regions.
- → You have signed and delivered on at least three large partner agreements (NGO, government, or donor).
- → You have killed at least one programme because the evidence did not support its continuation.
- → You can defend a measurement framework in writing for 30 minutes.
- → You have run a Sev-1 partner escalation and written the postmortem.
05 — How we work
The EduRankAI environment
Remote-first, async-first
Work from anywhere. We optimise for deep work, not face time. Periodic in-person off-sites for the full-time team.
High autonomy, high standards
We hire adults and trust them. You will be expected to set your own goals, communicate clearly, and ship.
Builders, not bureaucrats
We optimise for clarity over process. Make the call, ship the work, write up what you learned.
Bharat-built, globally ambitious
We are an Indian frontier AI lab. We build for India first and the world second — in that order.
