Job description

Are you ready to be the Mission Commander of a ground-breaking EdTech venture? We’re looking for an Innovation Catalyst to drive the Unified Personal Learning Assistant (UPLA) – a next-gen AI-powered learning product being incubated at a leading women’s college in Chennai in partnership with Kingspire.

This role is like being the mini-CEO on campus : you’ll shape content, harness AI tools, rally faculty and student creators, and make critical calls on what gets built next.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Strategy

  • Serve as the Campus Venture Lead for the product, steering the project vision and execution.
  • Act as the central decision-maker for prioritization of product features and content pipelines.
  • Bridge institutional goals with startup agility, reporting to both Kingspire leadership and the college's incubation cell.

Content & AI Integration

  • Oversee end-to-end content creation, curation, and quality assurance.
  • Ensure content aligns with curricula, pedagogy, and academic rigor.
  • Harness Generative AI tools and custom annotation workflows to accelerate content production and data labeling.
  • Team & Stakeholder Management

  • Mentor and coordinate a diverse team of full-time staff, part-time contributors, faculty experts, student interns, and researchers.
  • Build engagement frameworks for faculty and students acting as content creators and AI annotators.
  • Foster collaboration between Kingspire’s professional developers and the college’s academic community.
  • Operational Excellence

  • Manage timelines, milestones, and deliverables with startup discipline.
  • Conduct regular sprint reviews, identify bottlenecks, and implement corrective measures and maintain compliance with institutional incubation policies and data / IP governance norms.
  • Innovation & Growth

  • Explore, pilot, and deploy emerging GenAI tools for scalable educational impact.
  • Continuously improve processes — from content pipelines to data annotation practices.
  • Prepare UPLA for external pilot deployments in other colleges and universities.
  • Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Business, Communication, Education, Computer Science, or related fields.
  • 5+ years’ experience in project management, content strategy, or EdTech initiatives.
  • Strong background in content development / curriculum design with proven ability to integrate technology.
  • Hands-on familiarity with Generative AI tools (ChatGPT, NotebookLM, etc.) and custom labeling tools.
  • Exceptional leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Prior experience in a startup, innovation hub, or incubation program preferred.
  • Desired Attributes

  • Entrepreneurial mindset; thrives on ownership and accountability.
  • Balances academic sensitivity with product scalability.
  • Operates comfortably in a hybrid academic–startup environment.
  • Strong interpersonal skills to engage faculty, students, and external partners alike.
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • ≥90% of project milestones delivered on time.
  • 50 content modules published within first 90 days with ≥95% QA approval.
  • Weekly active user rate of ≥60% among pilot students.
  • 8–12% improvement in learning outcomes for pilot cohorts.
  • ≥95% support issues resolved within SLA timelines.
  • Faculty CSAT ≥3.5 / 5 and Student CSAT ≥4.0 / 5.
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • Unique opportunity to act as Mission Commander of a pioneering EdTech startup incubated inside a leading college.
  • Hands-on exposure to AI innovation, product building, and academic–industry collaboration.
  • Access to professional development and potential for long-term leadership growth.
