Salary: 4.8 - 6 LPA

_____________________________________________

Are you passionate about driving a next-generation placement engine that helps candidates from underrepresented backgrounds land roles at forward-looking startups? Most placement systems today rely heavily on traditional resumes and mass applications. This role is different—focusing on a modern placement approach that goes far beyond resumes and lengthy cover letters.

As the Placement Outcomes Manager, you will own the entire journey of helping young women become placement-ready and converting career opportunities into meaningful outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Execute & Implement Placement Readiness

  • Implement and refine the placement readiness model.
  • Ensure that every candidate exits the program with a strong portfolio and professional communication skills.

2. Drive Placement Outcomes

  • Support candidates in successfully applying for jobs, remote/in-person internships, and field opportunities.
  • Track and continuously improve interview feedback and final conversion rates.

3. Enable Interview & Group Discussion Readiness

  • Conduct and manage structured mock interviews and group discussions.
  • Train candidates to think clearly, communicate confidently, and approach interviews naturally as conversations.

4. Strengthen Visibility & Positioning

  • Guide candidates on building their LinkedIn presence and personal branding.
  • Ensure candidates effectively showcase their proof of work (portfolios, live projects), visibility (video introductions), and clarity (storytelling) to stand out in a competitive market.

5. Lead, Outreach & Opportunity Creation

  • Build out systems for cold outreach, networking, and employer engagement.
  • Actively identify and onboard hiring partners, with a focus on startups and new-age employers.

6. Track, Measure & Improve Outcomes

  • Build and maintain up-to-date placement data on the internal Learning Management System (LMS).
  • Track critical pipeline metrics, including outreach, applications, interviews, and offers.
  • Continuously refine the overall placement strategy based on data-driven insights.

Required Qualifications & Experiences

  • Experience: 2–4 years of experience in placements, recruitment, or other client-facing roles. Experience working with early-career talent, students, or training programs is a major plus.
  • Industry Awareness: Strong interest in careers, skill development, current hiring trends, developments in AI, and the future of work.
  • Communication: Excellent communication skills in both English and Hindi.
  • Digital Skills: Familiarity with LinkedIn, digital tools, and basic content creation.
