The founder is a seasoned entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience building real, sustainable, and profitable businesses from the ground up. Currently leading a fast-growing, bootstrapped, and profitable education company generating ₹12 Cr in annual revenue with a lean, high-performing team of 40 people.

The company is addressing one of Africa’s most pressing educational challenges—affordability and employability. Through an innovative work-study program, students earn not only a degree but also real-world experience and practical skills. This self-financed education model ensures graduates are job-ready from day one, making it a transformative solution for markets where a degree alone isn’t enough.

As the company scales, the founder is seeking a strategic partner—someone to serve as their right hand and help elevate leadership impact across the organization.

4. Project Management:

• Take ownership of high-priority initiatives from the founder’s office and drive execution with a bias for outcomes.

5. Communication & External Brand:

• Ensure professional, strategic correspondence with investors, stakeholders, and partners.

6. Systems & Processes:

7. Market & Business Intelligence:

• Thrive on structure and bring clarity to ambiguity—you’re organized, proactive, and resourceful.
• Have high emotional intelligence and are able to navigate personalities and power dynamics with grace.
• Think like an owner—anticipate needs, take initiative, and follow through rigorously.
