Program Coordinator, Schools Program: A Career Opportunity in Education at Quest Alliance (Ranchi, Jharkhand)
Overview of the Role
Quest Alliance, an organization working to make learning ecosystems future-ready across India, is hiring a Program Coordinator for its Schools Program in Ranchi, Jharkhand. This full-time position offers professionals with a background in teaching, mentoring, or education program delivery the chance to lead meaningful change in government schools across three districts: Deoghar, Dumka, and Ramgarh.
What the Job Involves
The Program Coordinator will be responsible for driving the Ideathon and Hackathon journey across 248 PM SHRI schools. Rather than simply delivering training sessions, the role centers on building a sustainable "cascade" model — strengthening Master Trainers so they can effectively support teachers, and equipping teachers with the confidence to independently run the full learning journey with their students.
The underlying philosophy is straightforward but powerful: real impact happens when facilitators are no longer needed in the room. The coordinator's job is to build that independence, not maintain dependency.
Key responsibilities likely include:
Coordinating training cycles for Master Trainers and teachers
Monitoring school-level progress and identifying gaps (such as schools that haven't started the program)
Providing ongoing support through check-ins, troubleshooting, and mentorship
Liaising with government stakeholders across districts
Ensuring consistent implementation of the Ideathon/Hackathon curriculum across all 248 schools
Who Should Apply
Quest Alliance is looking for candidates with:
4–5 years of experience in teaching, mentoring, or education program delivery
Prior experience working with government stakeholders
Strong training and communication skills
Fluency in Hindi
Willingness to travel across districts regularly
This role suits professionals who enjoy fieldwork, relationship-building with government schools, and hands-on capacity building — rather than a purely desk-based position.
Compensation and Benefits
The role offers a competitive package for the education development sector:
Pay band starting at ₹60,000/month (CTC), based on experience
Health insurance coverage
A self-learning fund for professional development
Childcare support
Fully covered counselling services
The organization emphasizes a workplace culture built on reflection, learning, and care — signaling an intentional focus on employee wellbeing alongside programmatic impact.
