INSPIRIA KNOWLEDGE CAMPUS
Siliguri, भारत
We are looking for a leader who will own the overall vision, growth, and performance of the campus, not just its day-to-day academics. Along with strong leadership experience, the candidate must have real, hands-on experience with liberal education — the modern teaching style used by new-age institutes, where students learn through discussion, projects, and real-world exposure instead of only textbooks and lectures. This experience is essential for the role.
Key Responsibilities:
Institutional Leadership & Strategy
Own the overall vision, strategy, and growth plan for Inspiria
Be accountable to the Governing Council / Board for institutional performance, growth, and reputation.
Set annual and long-term goals for enrollment, revenue, brand, and academic quality.
Take key decisions on new programmes, schools, partnerships, and expansion.
Academic Vision & Pedagogy
Introduce a liberal, modern style of teaching — discussion-based classes, projects, and real-world learning instead of only lectures and textbooks.
Lead and guide the academic direction of the campus across all schools.
Ensure the college follows all rules and standards set by MAKAUT, AICTE, and NAAC and drive the institution towards being Autonomous.
People & Faculty
Hire, guide, and support faculty and senior staff; build a strong leadership team under you.
Encourage and hire teachers with industry or practical experience.
Build a culture of accountability, ownership, and performance across the organisation
Business, Brand & Growth
Strengthen ties with companies for internships, placements, and student exposure to real work.
Drive admissions growth and help build Inspiria's brand and reputation regionally.
Represent the college to parents, industry partners, investors, and other institutions.
Required Qualifications & Experience:
Ph.D. in Management, Education, Liberal Arts, or a related field.
At least 10 years of experience in higher education or a related field, with a track record of having built or run a programme, campus, or vertical at a new-age education institute — functioning as a vision-fluent operator one level below the founder who executes, not a career administrator who has simply held titles such as Principal, Director, or Vice-Chancellor.
Background from the new-age education operator ecosystem is strongly preferred and should have Industry experience of at least 3 years.
