CEO / Quasi Entrepreneurial Opportunity

Entrepreneurial CEO Opportunity – Lead & Scale a Landmark Institution in Chennai

In a sprawling, fast-growing neighbourhood of Chennai, a world-class international school has already launched and is thriving. Designed by acclaimed architects from Dubai, the campus spans 6 acres and features cutting-edge classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and a state-of-the-art sports arena.

With strong foundations in place, the school is now at an inflection point — ready to scale, sharpen its brand, and establish itself as one of Chennai's leading institutions for IGCSE and IBDP programs.

We are seeking a CEO / Head of School — not just an academic leader, but an entrepreneurial builder who can take an already successful institution and drive it to its next stage of growth. This role offers the autonomy to shape vision, culture, and strategy.

Your mandate will be to :

Scale strategically : Grow student enrollment and position the school as a leading choice for families in Chennai and beyond.

Strengthen operations : Build robust systems, attract top talent, and deliver consistently high standards of excellence.

Innovate with freedom : Lead with autonomy, introducing fresh approaches across academics, extracurriculars, and the student experience.

Build a strong brand : Establish the institution as a benchmark in the region's education landscape.

Drive sustainability : Balance educational mission with operational and financial strength.

Who should apply :

Leaders with experience in scaling organizations — whether schools, institutions, or businesses.

Professionals with P&L ownership, operational leadership, and people management expertise.

Visionary executives who thrive in entrepreneurial, high-growth environments.

Purpose-driven leaders who can blend business acumen with educational impact.

This is a rare opportunity to lead a running institution with established roots and scale it into a landmark of educational excellence. It combines the stability of a launched school with the entrepreneurial thrill of shaping its long-term trajectory.
