Job Description
Undergraduate Admissions Counseling is looking for an experienced Manager - Scholarship & Financial Outreach Officer (Client Relations) to take ownership of the Scholarship & Financial Aid Guidance - Client & Stakeholder Management charter at a senior level. This is a role for someone who has already operated at scale and is comfortable setting direction rather than simply following one.
The successful candidate will bring approximately 8 years of progressively senior experience, holding MBA (Education Management), with a demonstrated track record across Scholarship, Event Coordination (Admissions), Prospective Student Outreach, Financial Aid Guidance, Scholarship Guidance. Beyond individual capability, this role expects the person to mentor junior team members and represent the function in cross-departmental discussions.
Reporting relationships will be defined based on the final scope agreed at offer stage, and the role is based out of Coimbatore on a hybrid arrangement. Compensation is benchmarked at INR 3.9-24.2 LPA, reflecting the seniority and scope of the position.
Success in this role will be measured less by task completion and more by the quality of judgement applied to ambiguous, high-stakes situations within scholarship & financial aid guidance - client & stakeholder management.
Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth. Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role.
There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
Most days include at least one review checkpoint where progress is discussed against the plan for the week. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.
The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions.
Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.
Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. The hiring process typically includes a screening round, a technical or functional assessment, and a final discussion with the reporting manager.
New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
Compensation includes standard statutory benefits along with performance-linked variable pay. Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process.
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. The package is structured with a fixed component, performance bonus, and standard health coverage. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.
