Job Description

Role Overview:
We are hiring Entrepreneurs-in-Residence (EIRs) to build new businesses from zero inside MedhaviOne. Each EIR reports to the Founders and owns one mandate end to end.

Why Now
Higher education is being rebuilt, and the people who build it now will shape the sector for decades.
  • Degrees are giving way to skills.
  • Classroom-only learning is giving way to work-integrated learning.
  • One-size-fits-all programmes are giving way to new models designed with employers.
For years, the strongest graduates from top institutes walked past education. That is changing. The capital, talent and ambition now entering the sector mean it is moving fast.
This role is a 2-3 year founder apprenticeship, fully paid. You build a real business, with our partner network and university behind you.

The Mandates
We are hiring for two mandates. Apply for one.
MandateWhat you buildWhere it can leadBest-fit background

EIR, Enterprise GrowthGo-to-market, sales motion, and thought leadership for MedhaviOne Enterprise, serving employers and industries that need job-ready talentGrowth Head, then Business Head for the portfolioB2B marketing or growth in SaaS or AI companies
EIR, New Learning BrandA curated online marketplace of high-value, work-integrated upskilling and reskilling programmes, co-developed with premier institutes and universitiesCategory Head, then Business Head for the portfolioGrowth, category or programme roles at leading EdTech platforms

What You will do
In both mandates, you run the business as its founder.
  • Own everything: proposition, academic framework, industry links, acquisition and outcomes.
  • Write the plan, set the targets and own the results.
  • Pull in marketing, technology, academic and partnerships teams to get things done.
  • Build a lean team as the business proves itself.
  • Put plans on a page: numbers first, with the insight beside them.

What we are looking for
Must have
  • A degree from an IIT, IIM or other top-tier institute, or a track record that speaks just as loudly.
  • 2–5 years of work experience.
  • Something you built from scratch, and can show.
  • A minimum commitment to 2–3 years of hands-on building with us.
  • Clear, sharp writing. Your application is the first test.
Good to have
  • For Enterprise Growth: B2B marketing or growth experience in SaaS or AI.
  • For New Learning Brand: EdTech experience or new-age education businesses.
  • For both: Experience running a P&L, or part of one.
How yo work
  • Hungry. You want the hard problem, more than the title.
  • Owner. If it reaches the Founders, you have already checked it.
  • Detail-driven. You meet deadlines, and flag early when you cannot.
  • Proud of your work. You build things and businesses you would put your name on.
  • Thick-skinned. The mandate will change as we learn, and you adapt.
What you get
  • A business to build, not a project to support. You own the outcome from day one.
  • Scale from the start. You work with 600+ enterprise partners and a university campus.
  • Direct access. You work alongside the Founders and the leadership team.
  • A growth path. EIRs typically move into Growth Head, Category Head / Business Head roles
  • A launchpad. After 2–3 years, grow with us, or go build your own company in this space.
