🌟 About Studium

Studium is a fast-growing SaaS startup revolutionizing quality assurance in Indian higher education. Our data-powered products simplify NIRF strategy, NAAC/NBA compliance, and AI-led Outcome-Based Education (Smart OBE). Backed by seasoned investors and used by IIMs, NMIMS, and 50+ academic institutions, we’re building the intelligence layer for India's higher education ecosystem.

🎯 Role Overview

This is not a traditional assistant role. As the Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will act as a force multiplier — helping Studium move faster, sharper, and more strategically. You’ll be part project manager, part chief-of-staff-in-training, and part right hand to the CEO. You’ll help drive cross-functional execution, track timelines, and ensure high-leverage decisions get translated into outcomes.

✅ Key Responsibilities

Strategic & Executive Support

• Manage CEO’s calendar, meetings, and external communications with clients, investors, and partners
• Support the preparation of presentations, briefs, board decks, and strategic documents
• Synthesize notes from leadership meetings into actionable tasks and follow-ups
• Help prioritize time, decisions, and goals across departments

Project Management

• Own the tracking and progress of cross-functional initiatives (product, sales, ops, content)
• Ensure timely execution of project milestones, highlight blockers, and drive follow-through
• Set up systems for task tracking, sprint reviews, and accountability (Notion/Sheets/Jira/etc.)
• Work with product leads and team heads to keep deliverables on track and aligned with CEO vision

Operational & Communication Excellence

• Draft and refine key internal communications on behalf of the CEO
• Coordinate travel, events, external meetings, and investor updates as needed
• Maintain confidentiality and professional judgment in high-stakes conversations

🙌 What We’re Looking For

• 1–3 years in a fast-paced startup, consulting firm, PMO, or product/strategy function
• Prior experience managing timelines or deliverables in a project management capacity
• Excellent written and verbal communication; solid with PowerPoint, Excel/Sheets, and PM tools
• Strong organizational instincts with the ability to prioritize under pressure
• Hungry to learn, emotionally intelligent, and thrives in chaos

Bonus:

• Familiarity with EdTech, SaaS, or education operations
• Exposure to startup leadership, GTM functions, or investor communications

🚀 Why This Role Matters

• You’ll work directly with the CEO and senior leadership, influencing decisions and execution
• You’ll be at the center of everything: product, growth, ops, funding, GTM
• It’s a high-leverage role — ideal for someone who wants to be a founder, chief of staff, or startup operator
• You'll help speed up India's education transformation, one execution loop at a time
