Job Title: Category Manager Academics (Boards/Competitive)
📍Location: Indore (On-Site)
Job Type: Full-time
Job Description:
We are looking for a Category Manager - Academics who will own the execution, delivery, and operational success of assigned academic verticals (e.g., State Boards, Competitive Exams). This role focuses on team management, delivery excellence, process building, and cross-functional coordination to ensure academic content is produced, launched, and scaled efficiently. This is a leadership role connecting Academic, Product, Tech, Marketing, and Sales teams to ensure timely, high-quality content delivery at scale.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own delivery for assigned categories: Take the academic strategy and turn it into weekly execution, clear plans, timelines, and real output that matches curriculum + business priorities.
- Run the content engine: Lead teachers/SMEs/reviewers/creators like a production team, with targets, deadlines, review cadence, blockers removed, and predictable delivery every sprint.
- Build repeatable systems: Create SOPs and workflows that scale, briefs → creation → review → fixes → versioning, so quality improves without slowing speed.
- Protect learner experience: Ensure every chapter follows a consistent learning path and is genuinely student-friendly, with tight coordination with instructional design.
- Bridge academics and tech: Translate academic intent into product reality, work daily with Product/AI/Engineering so content is structured and ready for AI features and launches.
- Be the quality + curriculum owner: Track errors, revisions, and benchmarks; manage syllabus changes fast, flag risks early, and align releases with exam cycles and expansion plans.
Requirements:
- You understand the exam game end-to-end: how boards/competitive exam syllabi translate into what students actually struggle with, what teachers prioritize, and what sells during an exam season.
- You’ve run a content category like a business unit: owned a subject/exam vertical (or a large program) with clear output targets, tight timelines, and accountability for results.
- You can operate a “factory” at scale: manage hundreds/thousands of content units (videos, notes, tests, solutions) without chaos: planning, dependencies, review queues, rework loops, and on-time delivery.
- You’ve led teams that ship: hiring/structuring teachers, SMEs, and reviewers, setting daily/weekly cadence, resolving conflicts fast, and keeping quality high without slowing production.
- You’re comfortable in cross-functional pressure: align academics with Product/AI/Engineering/Growth, handle tough trade-offs, and keep everyone moving even when priorities change mid-week.
- You manage with numbers, not vibes: dashboards for throughput, quality defects, turnaround time, pending reviews, and learning/performance signals; you spot bottlenecks early and fix them.
