The Role

As the Head of Outreach & Partnerships, you will be the chief architect of our community growth engine. This is a critical leadership role where you will design, build, and execute the end-to-end strategy for user acquisition, focusing on our two core audiences: college students and working professionals. You will be responsible for building a scalable, predictable pipeline of high-quality participants for our hackathons and events, directly impacting Hack2skill's growth and market leadership.

What You'll Do

• Strategic Leadership: Develop and own the comprehensive outreach strategy to achieve ambitious registration targets, establishing Hack2skill as the go-to platform for every aspiring innovator in India.
• University Ecosystem Dominance: Build and scale a robust university partnership program. Forge deep alliances with Training & Placement Officers (TPOs), Entrepreneurship Cells, and key student clubs across Tier 1 and Tier 2 institutions nationwide.
• Corporate & Community Alliances: Establish and nurture strategic partnerships with corporations, developer communities (e.g., Google Developer Groups, AWS User Groups), industry bodies, and online learning platforms to drive registrations from working professionals.
• Team Building & Mentorship: Recruit, train, and lead a high-performing outreach team. Set clear goals, establish best practices, and foster a culture of ownership and results.
• Data-Driven Operations: Define, track, and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Cost Per Lead (CPL), Registration‑to‑Participant Conversion Rate, and Partner Sourced Registrations. Use data to optimize campaigns and inform strategy.
• Program Innovation: Design and launch scalable outreach initiatives, such as Campus Ambassador programs, inter‑college hackathon leagues, and corporate evangelist programs.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Marketing, Program Management, and Sales teams to ensure a cohesive strategy from lead generation to event participation.

You Should Have

• Demonstrated Success: A proven track record of developing and executing strategies that achieved or exceeded user acquisition targets at scale.
• Strong Network: A pre-existing, robust network within Indian universities and/or the corporate/tech community is a significant advantage.
• Strategic Mindset: The ability to think beyond immediate tactics and build a long‑term, scalable, and repeatable growth engine.
• Data-Driven Acumen: A strong analytical mindset with the ability to use data to make decisions, optimize performance, and report on business outcomes.
• Exceptional People Skills: World‑class negotiation, relationship management, and communication skills. You are a natural networker who can build rapport with everyone from a student coordinator to a CHRO.
• Leadership: Prior experience in hiring, managing, and mentoring a team to success. .
