Why do we exist? What do we do?

The quality of school education available to low-income students across India is abysmal — it decides, before they've had a real shot, whether they'll ever attend college or build a career. iTeach Schools was born in 2015 to break that pattern and build a level playing field for every child.

We run free, high-impact schools and a college-to-career program for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai, known for world-class professional development, a results-driven culture, and student-centric school design. More at www.iTeachSchools.org .

Role Summary

iTeach is scaling fast — from 4,500 to 10,000+ students over the next 5 years, through 10-12 new schools across Maharashtra's Municipal Corporations. This role sits within our Growth team and is where that growth gets built on the ground: identifying new opportunities, gathering the data that shapes our expansion decisions, and keeping our government stakeholder relationships strong.

There are three key parts of the Government Partnerships & Expansion Associate role.

A. Expansion Work

• Conduct field visits and gather ground-level data to inform which municipal corporation iTeach expands to next.
• Help identify and open initial conversations with local stakeholders and influential contacts in new areas.
• Support proposal and tender documentation as new Municipal Corporation opportunities move forward.
• Identify, build, and maintain relationships with key stakeholders — administrative (Municipal Corporation, Education Department, Zilla Parishad, State Government, SSC Board, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan) and political (Corporators, local leaders, community influencers).
• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact between iTeach Schools and government stakeholders, regarding everything related to expansion proposals.
• Resolve issues between government officers and iTeach Schools.
• Keep the team updated on relevant policy and procedural changes.

C. Compliance & Systemic Reform

• Secure all necessary permissions and compliances for new schools from relevant departments.

Education and Competencies

• Required: Graduate or above.
• Required: Minimum 2 years of experience in social sector work.
• Mandatory: Prior experience working with the government, or exposure to public field-based work.
• Mandatory: Proficiency in reading, writing, and typing in Marathi and English.

Location
