About SARAS AI Institute

• Backed by visionaries from academia and industry, SARAS is on a mission to build a global AI-ready workforce through degree programs, bootcamps, and skilling pathways tailored for the future of work.

Your Role: Building Industry Bridges

• As the Lead Corporate Outreach and Workforce Partnerships, you’ll be SARAS’s front-runner in engaging with corporations, enterprises, and industry networks. Your north star: bring SARAS’s AI learning offerings to the workforce, through deep, strategic, and human-first industry partnerships.
• This is not a traditional sales role. It’s about opening doors, solving real problems, and becoming a trusted partner in organisations’ upskilling journeys.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Corporate Engagement: Identify, reach out to, and build relationships with CXOs, HR heads, and L&D leaders across companies in India and globally.
• Consult & Discover: Understand workforce transformation goals and organisational pain points where Saras AI programs can make a meaningful impact.
• Design Solutions: Work cross-functionally with the academic and product teams to tailor learning pathways for corporate partners (custom cohorts, certifications, degree tie-ins).
• Build Strategic Alliances: Represent SARAS at industry forums, events, webinars, and executive circles to amplify our presence and spark collaboration.
• Own the Partnership Funnel: From outreach and pitch to solutioning and onboarding, drive the entire partnership lifecycle using CRM tools and structured reporting.
• Feedback to Innovation: Channel insights from the field to help shape future offerings, campaigns, and corporate learning models.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 5–10 years of experience in B2B relationship management, enterprise outreach, or strategic partnerships, preferably in EdTech, SaaS, skilling, or HRTech.
• Strong network and comfort in engaging with senior decision-makers, CXOs, CHROs, and Heads of L&D.
• A consultative mindset, you’re a listener, a problem-solver, and a bridge-builder.
• Passion for AI, the future of work, and the role of education in unlocking potential.
• Experience with proposals, solutioning, and working cross-functionally with internal teams.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and storytelling skills.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage environment where ambiguity is opportunity.

Why Join SARAS

• Be part of a mission-driven institution creating a new category in higher education.
• Work with global leaders, top-tier faculty, and a passionate team shaping the AI future.
• Enjoy autonomy, purpose, and the chance to own a critical function from the ground up.
