We’re now scaling this impact across India’s top campuses—empowering every student to land tech internships and high-paying roles faster, smarter, and more affordably.

From learning and mock interviews to certifications and direct hiring—we’re building a full-stack, outcome-driven career platform.

Mission of the Senior Growth Manager Role

As a Senior Growth Manager, you will lead the charge in driving NxtWave’s growth across top-tier colleges. You won’t just execute—you’ll strategize, lead, and scale. This role is built for someone who combines target-oriented leadership with deep campus execution expertise.

Key Responsibilities include :

Data-Driven Iteration : Monitor performance and student behavior; use data and on-ground insights to continuously optimize strategies for onboarding, retention, and conversions.
Plan & Execute Lead Gen + Engagement Activities : Conceptualize, plan, and lead end-to-end execution of high-impact lead generation and engagement campaigns — both online (e.g., live sessions, contests, community challenges) and on-campus (e.g., club partnerships, hackathons, speaker sessions).
Onboard mentors and industry experts for live sessions, workshops, and 1 : 1 mentoring to enrich student learning and career prep.
Cross-Functional Collaboration : Work closely with Product, Tech, Marketing, and Content teams to deliver a seamless and inspiring user experience.
