Admin Officer - Government Liaison & External Operations

About the Role

This role needs someone who isn’t afraid to step outside the school campus and get things done—whether it’s dealing with government offices, ensuring infrastructure is compliant, or managing vendor relationships. You’ll also support external events, help manage school marketing campaigns, and coordinate with preschools for outreach.

Owning a two-wheeler is essential for this role as it involves regular local travel.
