This is a field-intensive position designed for individuals who want to be embedded in the education ecosystem — working shoulder-to-shoulder with teachers, school leaders, and district and block-level government stakeholders to strengthen learning outcomes for children in government schools.
Unlike desk-bound roles, this position calls for someone who thrives in dynamic, real-world environments — spending time in classrooms, building relationships with educators, and using on-ground insights to shape better programme delivery.

1–3 years of relevant experience in teaching, curriculum design, teacher training, or the broader education sector
A genuine interest in working directly with teachers, classrooms, and government stakeholders
Strong facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to adapt to unpredictable field conditions
A curious, resourceful mindset and a commitment to continuous learning
Openness to learning to read and write in Punjabi within the first six months of joining — a reflection of how deeply this role is rooted in the local context
Key Responsibilities
As a Program Associate, Implementation, your day-to-day work will involve:
Stakeholder collaboration – Partnering closely with teachers, schools, and government officials to drive programme implementation on the ground.
Classroom engagement – Conducting regular school and classroom visits to observe teaching practices, provide coaching, and support educators in real time.
Capacity building – Designing and facilitating workshops, training sessions, and other learning interventions tailored to teacher needs.
Data-informed decision-making – Using field data, observations, and feedback loops to continuously refine and strengthen teaching practices and programme design.
Documentation and knowledge sharing – Capturing field learnings, success stories, and outcomes that feed back into improving the broader programme.

Annual compensation of ₹5,75,000

Paid period leave and well-being leaves
The chance to work closely with government school systems and contribute meaningfully to education transformation in Punjab
Employment with a Great Place To Work®️ Certified organization
Why This Role Matters
Education reform doesn't happen in isolation — it happens through consistent, on-ground engagement with the people closest to the classroom: teachers and local administrators. This role offers a rare opportunity to be part of that process directly, rather than observing it from a distance. For professionals looking to deepen their impact in India's government school system, this is a chance to combine facilitation, data, and field relationships into meaningful, measurable change.
