Account Management Associate

About Us :

We are Kraftshala. We are an online skilling institution committed to playing the long game of building a transformative educational experience for the masses. We call this Scaling with Soul.

Scaling with Soul, to us, means we always prioritise student outcomes specifically our Placement Rate (percentage of students placed)- over other metrics, such as number of enrolments or company valuation in the coming year.

This is, of course, easier said than done. There are painful choices to be made at every stage, from admissions to training to placements, that wouldnt have been needed were we willing to give up on either of high quality or scale.

But in the long run, we believe that our obsession over these student outcomes will earn Kraftshala the trust of Indian students, their families, recruiters and the broader ecosystem.

Thats why we make each of our Placement Reports public, capturing how many students are placed in each batch, in what companies, at what salaries etc.

We dont need to. None of our competitors do (though wed be happy to be proven wrong and have more educators join us!). Simply put, we have tasted the benefits of an education model grounded in high quality paired with the transparency of student outcomes and now cannot imagine doing it any other way.

We are not the largest in terms of enrollments. Nowhere close, actually. Not yet.

However, we are proud to be one of the largest, if not the largest already, in terms of actual, verifiable placements.

And in terms of Placement Rate, the metric that matters most to us, we are the absolute best in edtech. In the last 4 years, we have placed more than 2000+ students with a Placement Rate of 94% (and improving).

This is our long game- to Scale with Soul. We invite you to join us for the play.

What do we value (the Kraftshala Kode) :

Kraftshala is on a mission to become the largest career launchpad in the world.

Team Kraftshala is for the ambitious, the forever-learners, and most of all, for those who live to add value to others. In a world where education companies often lose sight of their core, we aim to Scale with Soul , to offer greater value to each stakeholder (including our team) everyday we get bigger.

Joining Kraftshala now means becoming part of a story still in its early chapters- one youll help shape with your ideas, actions, and leadership. Here are things we care for :

Role Description :

One of the biggest reasons students choose Kraftshala is our strong placement outcomes, and one of the biggest reasons companies continue to hire from Kraftshala is our track record of seamless execution, strong candidate quality, and consistent recruiter experience - and thats exactly why the Recruiter Partnerships (Account Management) team is such a critical part of the organization.

As an Associate - Account Management, youll be part of the team that anchors our recruiter relationships, ensuring every hiring partner experiences smooth, responsive, and high-quality processes. Youll manage multiple accounts end-to-end - from setting up placement drives, coordinating with internal teams, solving real-time challenges, to building trust and driving repeat engagement with our recruiters.

While this role does involve coordination with students, your primary lens will be recruiter-first : working to make sure every hiring experience is as delightful, efficient, and outcome-oriented as possible.

Primary Responsibilities will include :

Placement Operations

Process Optimization

When youre working with dozens of recruiters and hundreds of students, delivering a consistently high-quality experience at scale becomes a function of the systems you build. Every delayed email, broken link, or missed follow-up can erode trust - and in placements, trust is everything. Thats why were constantly refining the way we operate, and hence, youd be :

What success in this role would look like :

A question wed like to address upfront is what the career trajectory looks like for someone in this role.

At Kraftshala, operations are central to how we serve our stakeholders. You'll start by learning the craft of partnerships and account management through hands-on placement execution. Over time, two broad paths could open up :

These are starting thoughts, of course, and any decision on a role is always a function of what a person wants matched with what the organization can offer at that time. The great advantage of a company thats growing well (like Kraftshala) is that new opportunities open up frequently, and our preference would always be to try to fill up newly created roles with candidates from within the organization.

Must-Have Skills :

Top Grading :

Were looking for someone who doesn't wait around for instructions to get started. Our A-Players are those who take initiative - they build relationships with all stakeholders, spot gaps early, and design solutions proactively. They are the ones who take full ownership of the student and recruiter experience, staying a few steps ahead of any possible issues.

A B-Player, on the other hand, might wait for work to be assigned or limit themselves to what's been explicitly stated. They may execute tasks well, but aren't thinking beyond what's in front of them - which doesn't quite cut it in a high-ownership, high-trust team like ours.

Recruitment Process :

As a small team, its imperative that we get to know each other before taking the leap. We want to ensure you succeed in your role within our team. Each conversation with us will last about 30-60 minutes. Typically the whole process takes between 10 - 15 business days depending on your and our schedules, and will be a mix of online and in-person interactions.
