EdIndia Is Hiring a Project Coordinator in Dehradun, Uttarakhand
EdIndia has announced an opening for a Project Coordinator based in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The role is aimed at experienced education professionals who want to work where schools, teacher training institutions and government systems meet.
About the Role
The Project Coordinator will manage and support the delivery of education programmes. The work combines academic expertise with field-level implementation, and it involves regular collaboration with government stakeholders and schools. The organisation is looking for someone committed to quality implementation, not just someone who can manage timelines.
Who Is EdIndia Looking For?
Educational qualification: A Master's degree in Education, Social Development, or a related field.
Experience: At least six years in the education sector, with exposure to both academic and field-level work. This suggests the organisation wants someone who understands classrooms and communities as well as programme design.
Core skills: Strong programme management, stakeholder management and execution skills. The candidate should also be comfortable working with data and dashboards, which reflects how much education programmes now rely on monitoring and evidence-based decisions.
Domain knowledge: Experience in teacher education, academic training, DIETs (District Institutes of Education and Training), SCERTs (State Councils of Educational Research and Training), or government education systems. Familiarity with these institutions will be important, since they are central to teacher capacity building and academic support in India's public education system.
Collaboration: The ability to work effectively with government stakeholders and schools, backed by a strong commitment to quality programme implementation.
Why This Role Matters
Improving learning outcomes depends on strengthening the systems around teachers and schools. A Project Coordinator in this setting links policy, training institutions and classroom practice, making sure programmes are well run, well documented and responsive to what is happening on the ground.
Who Should Apply?
This role suits mid-to-senior education professionals who:
have spent several years in programme roles within education or social development,
have worked with state-level bodies like SCERTs or district-level institutions like DIETs,
are comfortable moving between fieldwork, stakeholder meetings and data review, and
are willing to be based in Dehradun.
