ABOUT RISHIHOOD UNIVERSITY


Rishihood is India’s first national transformation university. It prepares learners to solve the big problems of tomorrow. Our transformative education is built on three pillars:

    Personal Impact – developing physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual strength.

    Professional Impact – building real-world skills through industry-integrated, practice-based learning.

    Public Impact – fostering interdisciplinary thinking and a commitment to nation-building.


At Rishihood, we nurture leaders who will transform themselves, their professions, and the nation.


POSITION | Director - Career Advancement Cell


Rishihood University is looking for a Director to build and run the Career Advancement Cell, our reimagined placement function. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will own building the broader system that helps every learner find their right next step, whether that is a job, a startup, graduate school, public service, or family business leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Core placement operations

  • Build and manage relationships with recruiting companies; run placement drives end to end (scheduling, logistics, employer coordination)
  • Track and report placement rate, median salary, employer quality, and internship participation each semester
  • Run resume coaching, mock interviews, and career readiness sessions for learners
  • Maintain a live database of student profiles, employer contacts, and offer data
  • Coordinate with faculty and program leads on internship requirements and academic calendar alignment

Building the five pathways

  • Design pathway-specific support tracks for Professional Careers, Entrepreneurship & Family Business, Public Leadership, Research & Graduate Studies, and Institution Building
  • Set up founder mentoring and investor introduction touchpoints in partnership with Venture Studio.
  • Build relationships with government fellowship programs, think tanks, and public policy institutions
  • Support graduate school and PhD applications for learners headed to research
  • Create pathways into philanthropic and mission-driven organizations for learners interested in institution building.

Learner journey and engagement

  • Run structured touchpoints across all four years: exposure and discovery in Year 1, internships and mission projects in Year 2, mentorship and capstones in Year 3, and launch support in Year 4
  • Track long-term alumni outcomes, not just first-job placement

Partnerships

  • Serve as relationship owner for external partners tied to Rishihoods National Missions (hospitals, government bodies, industry associations, research centres, and similar)
  • Build and maintain the alumni network for mentorship, recruitment, and lifelong engagement

Technology and reporting

  • Explore and deploy AI tools for career discovery, skills gap analysis, interview simulation, and opportunity matching, so advisors can focus on mentorship and relationships.
  • Report to the COO Office on placement outcomes and pathway metrics each term

Requirements:
  • 8 to 12 years of experience in placements, career services, campus relations, or corporate HR/talent acquisition, with a proven track record of building employer relationships and running placement operations
  • Comfort working across both tactical execution (calls, drives, spreadsheets) and long-term relationship building (government, investors, alumni)
  • Strong communication skills and ability to coach students one on one
  • Familiarity with the Indian higher education and hiring landscape; startup, government, or public policy exposure is a plus
  • Belief in the idea that a universitys job is to prepare people for multiple kinds of professional success, not just a job offer
