Deputy Director - Office of Admissions - Education

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
