Growth & Expansion_Manager, iTeach Growth

Job Summary

iTeach is at an inflection point. In 2025, we set out to more than double our reach - from 4,500 to 10,000+ students - by opening 10-12 new schools over the next 5 years. Thats a decade of growth in half the time, powered by strong municipal demand, solid funding, and a deep talent pipeline.

The Growth Expansion Manager will drive that growth end to end: representing iTeach with government at every level, building the strategy for where we go next, and carrying each new Municipal Corporation from first conversation to a signed partnership. This role owns the machinery that turns growth intent into schools on the ground.

Major Responsibilities

A: Expansion - Strategy and Execution

• Build and drive iTeachs 3-year expansion strategy across Municipal Corporations in Maharashtra and beyond, translating our 2030 growth goals into a concrete roadmap.
• Own the full expansion pipeline end to end - proposal drafting, pitching, tender release and management, through to final work order award.
• Lead on-ground landscape studies with our government partnerships associates to scope space, infrastructure, and educational gaps, and identify the best-fit opportunities for iTeach.
• Design and implement strategies to secure government funding to support new and existing schools.

B: Government Liaisoning and Compliance

• Build and hold relationships with administrative and political decision-makers across 8-10 Municipal Corporations, championing iTeachs mission at every level of government.
• Manage the Government Relations Associates to keep all iTeach schools compliant with government regulations and law.
• Maintain iTeachs standing as the Municipal Corporations most trusted non-profit school operator.

C: Team and Planning

• A track record of building relationships with senior stakeholders and moving decisions forward in bureaucratic, often slow-moving environments.
• Comfort owning ambiguity - this is a build-as-you-go role inside a fast-growing organization.
• Strong communication, presentation, and influencing skills; equally sharp writing a tender response and pitching a Municipal Commissioner.
• Preferred Languages: Fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Marathi and English.

Location

• Based in Mumbai. Willing to travel across Greater Mumbai, Mumbai, Pune and other Municipal Corporations in Maharashtra and beyond - as our footprint grows.
