Assistant Manager – School Relations (Hyderabad): A Rare Opportunity to Blend Sales Skills with Educational Impact
If you're an education sales professional in Hyderabad looking for a role that combines commercial drive with real social impact, North South Foundation (NSF) has just opened a position that deserves your attention: Assistant Manager – School Relations.
This isn't a typical B2B sales job. It sits at the intersection of EdTech, school partnerships, and India's evolving assessment landscape under NEP 2020 — making it an attractive next step for candidates who want their sales numbers to mean something beyond a quarterly target.
About North South Foundation
North South Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to advance educational excellence and equity across India and the United States. In Hyderabad specifically, NSF is rolling out Competency-Based Assessments (CBAs) designed for premium private schools — assessment tools built to align with NEP 2020 and international best practices, with a focus on deep learning, critical thinking, and real-world readiness rather than rote memorization.
What the Role Involves
As Assistant Manager – School Relations, you'd essentially be the public face of NSF's assessment programme in Hyderabad. The mandate spans four broad areas:
Strategic outreach and sales — identifying premium private schools that fit NSF's mission, executing a localized go-to-market strategy, and representing NSF at education conferences and leadership forums.
Partnership building — forming long-term relationships with principals and academic coordinators, tailoring CBA solutions to each school's specific needs, and closing partnership agreements professionally and transparently.
Pipeline and performance tracking — running a CRM-based sales pipeline and reporting on KPIs such as lead conversion, retention, and revenue growth.
Cross-functional collaboration — working with NSF's academic and operations teams to keep offerings aligned with what schools actually want, and contributing to marketing content like case studies and success stories.
Who NSF Is Looking For
The ideal candidate brings 2–4 years of experience in education sales, B2B sales, EdTech, or school partnerships, along with a bachelor's degree (a master's in Education or Business is preferred, though not mandatory). Beyond the resume basics, NSF is prioritizing people who understand how Indian school systems actually function, communicate persuasively, and can genuinely connect with the mission of educational equity.
A few things will make an application stand out:
Prior exposure to NGOs or other mission-driven organizations
Familiarity with competency-based education frameworks
Existing relationships within CBSE, ICSE, IB, or Cambridge-affiliated school networks
Fluency in English plus Telugu or Hindi
Compensation and What's on Offer
The role comes with a salary band of ₹4–6 LPA plus performance-based incentive pay, which is fairly standard for a 2–4 year experience bracket in education sales, with the added upside of uncapped incentives tied to deal closures. Beyond pay, NSF frames the role as an opportunity to directly influence how competency-based learning takes root in premium schools — plus the usual professional development and collaborative-culture benefits nonprofits in this space tend to offer.
Why This Role Stands Out in the EdTech Hiring Market
Hyderabad's private school ecosystem is large and increasingly receptive to assessment reform, especially as NEP 2020 pushes schools toward competency-based, skills-first evaluation. That makes NSF's timing strategic — and it means this role isn't just "another sales job." Someone stepping into it now has a chance to shape adoption patterns early, build a strong personal network among school leadership, and develop a track record in a niche (competency-based assessment sales) that's likely to keep growing in demand across Indian EdTech.
For candidates already working in education sales or school partnerships who want to move from a purely commercial mandate into something with a nonprofit's mission-driven backbone, this is worth a serious look.
