Position : Deputy Director - Office of Admissions
Location: New Delhi
Organisation : Very Reputed interdisciplinary liberal arts & sciences university in India
Compensation : upto 50LPA
Role Overview:
We are hiring, on behalf of a premier liberal arts and sciences university, a Deputy Director for its Office of Admissions - a role at the heart of how the institution selects the students who shape its community.
This is not an outreach, marketing, or student-recruitment role.
It is an academic evaluation and decision-making leadership position - reviewing applications, running interview panels, making scholarship and admit calls, and guiding families through some of the most important decisions of their lives.
What you will do:
- Lead academic quality control across application review, shortlisting, and student interviews
- Own due diligence on admissions and scholarship decisions
- Be the calm, credible voice for parents and students navigating decisions and retention conversations
- Elevate the academic rigour and evaluative depth of the wider admissions team
- Travel periodically to meet students and families
What we are looking for:
- 14 - 18 years of experience, with 10+ years leading or working closely within teams
- A genuine, credible interest in liberal education, ideas, and current affairs - this is not a checkbox, it shows up in every conversation and decision you will make here
- Excellent written and verbal communication - you will be reading essays, writing decisions, and speaking with anxious parents in the same week
- Comfort with data and analysis to inform (not replace) human judgement
- An empathetic, patient, perceptive listener who can hold difficult conversations with grace
- A proactive, detail-obsessed operator who thrives under deadline pressure
