Job description

1 Line JD - We are immediately hiring a Community Manager to work directly with the Founder's Office, fully owning the student and alumni experience by building deep relationships, leading cross-cohort meetups, and designing impactful rituals that foster such strong trust that organic referrals and stellar testimonials become our primary growth engine.

About The Organisation

The Org holds a commanding presence in the IIT degree and certification market, partnering with 12+ top-tier institutions (including IITs and IIMs) to run over 20+ active programs. They train thousands of students every month, and the academic delivery engine is exceptionally strong. Now, as the company transitions from a "survive to thrive" phase, the next massive growth lever is our people.

About The Role

This is a pure community-building role with a marketeers lens, not an academic operations one. You will not be managing class schedules, tracking attendance, or resolving LMS tickets. Instead, you will own the full student and alumni community, from onboarding to post-placement.

Your goal is simple but ambitious: build a community so strong, playful, and engaged that referrals become the natural outcome. You will be the face of the company’s network, ensuring the learners feel they belong to an exclusive, high-value club.

What You Will Do

• Drive Cross-Cohort Engagement: Break down silos between individual batches to build meaningful connections across the entire student and alumni network.
• Build Rituals & Experiences: Create touchpoints and moments that matter. You will spearhead on-ground activities, arrange cross-city meetups, and manage campus immersions to foster a lively environment.
• Own Referral Activation: Treat community as a growth engine. In the best ed-techs, 30-40% of revenue comes from referrals - your job is to build the trust and relationships that drive this metric organically.
• Amplify Student Voices: Strategically capture student success stories, including coordinating virtual and on-ground video testimonials.
• Elevate Brand Trust: Take direct ownership of boosting the org’s Trustpilot ratings and public perception through consistent, positive community reinforcement.
• Strategize with Leadership: Work directly with the Founder's Office on overall community strategy, bridging the gap between business objectives and the learner experience.

You’d be a right fit if

• You think in relationships, not just reach.
• You understand that a true community isn't just about answering support queries; it's about building a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem.
• You are highly proactive, comfortable stepping away from the desk, and eager to meet people on the ground to create real-world connections.

Non-Negotiables

It’s a very hands-on and challenging role, not for comfort seekers. You need to be ready to get your hands dirty whenever needed.

Brownie Points if

• You have a strong LinkedIn game and a strong personality that the team can look up to
• Strong patience to work in a high chaos build-and-break environment
• You’re a builder who can balance high-level strategy with ruthless, ground-level execution
