Job Description
We are looking to onboard a Head of Academic Inclusion & Accessibility Initiatives to strengthen our Academic Accessibility & Universal Design Services function within Academic Administration. This is a senior level opening based out of Gurugram, offered on a full-time basis.
The ideal candidate holds M.Ed and brings roughly 15 years of hands-on exposure to academic accessibility & universal design services. Day-to-day, the work draws heavily on Student Records Management, Academic Accessibility, Universal Design Services, Budget Administration, and the person will be expected to apply these skills independently rather than under constant supervision.
Compensation for this position is structured around INR 4.5-13.6 LPA, in line with market standards for senior level roles within academic administration.
The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables.
Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay.
Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process.
Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week.
The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls.
The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding. Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth.
Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability.
Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role.
Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function. The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions.
No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
We value consistency and follow-through more than flashy credentials - if that matches how you work, apply in.
