Academic Head — Boards (CBSE/ICSE), Grades 1–10

Job Location : Hyderabad

Role Summary

The Academic Head — Boards owns academic quality and learning outcomes for Infinity

Learn's CBSE and ICSE programs across Grades 1–10. This is the senior academic leadership

role responsible for curriculum and pacing alignment with board syllabi, faculty quality and

capability, and the academic outcomes. The role works in close partnership with Customer

Success, curriculum, Product and technology.

Key Responsibilities

Curriculum & Academic Quality

• Ensure classes are conducted as per the defined SoPs.
• Learning outcomes are achieved for every child.
  
  

Faculty Leadership

• Set hiring bar, onboarding curriculum, and ongoing training standards for Boards faculty
• Own faculty performance management for the Boards cohort, using session audit scores,
  
  

CPT trends, and PTM/feedback signal as inputs.

• Build and maintain the subject-matter bench strength needed to scale Boards programs
  
  

across grades without compromising quality.

Continuous Learning Improvement

• Review attendance, CPT, and session-quality dashboards on a regular cadence to identify
  
  

systemic (not just individual) academic gaps.

• Run a continuous-improvement loop on curriculum and assessment design, informed by
  
  

outcome data rather than anecdote.

Requirements

Experience

• 8–12 years in academic leadership, curriculum design, or subject-matter leadership within
  
  

K-12 education or edtech, with at least 3 years in a people-management role.

• Demonstrated depth in CBSE and/or ICSE curriculum, ideally across multiple grades
  
  

within the 1–10 band.

• Experience managing or closely partnering with a faculty/teaching team at scale (multiple
  
  

faculty, multiple batches).

Education

Postgraduate degree in a core subject (Mathematics, Science, or allied discipline) or in

Education; B.Ed/M.Ed preferred but not mandatory if offset by strong subject and

leadership experience.

Skills & Competencies

• Comfortable working from data — reading CPT/attendance dashboards and translating
  
  

trends into curriculum or faculty action, not just reporting them.

• Strong cross-functional collaborator; able to work fluently with Customer Success teams
  
  

without owning their function.

• Sound judgment on escalation calls — knows when an issue is a faculty coaching matter
  
  

versus a curriculum design gap.

• Clear written and verbal communicator, able to set standards that faculty and AMs can
  
  

execute against consistently.
