Executive Assistant to Chairman

A High-Trust Role at the Centre of Institutional Leadership

Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering (SVCE), Tirupati, is looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to the Chairman to work closely with the Chairman's Office and support the execution of key institutional priorities.

This is not a conventional administrative or personal-assistant role.

We are looking for a highly organised, intellectually curious and execution-oriented professional who can operate as the Chairman's execution partner — understanding priorities, coordinating stakeholders, tracking decisions and ensuring that important initiatives move forward.

Chairman's Office

• Manage and prioritise the Chairman's professional calendar, meetings and commitments.
• Prepare meeting briefs, agendas, presentations, background notes and follow-up summaries.
• Ensure the Chairman is adequately prepared for important meetings and decisions.
• Maintain confidentiality and handle sensitive information with maturity and discretion.

Strategy & Execution

• Translate the Chairman's priorities into clear actions, owners and timelines.
• Maintain a strategic action tracker and follow up with relevant stakeholders.
• Monitor progress on key institutional initiatives and highlight delays or risks.
• Prepare concise dashboards and status reports for periodic reviews.

Leadership Coordination

• Coordinate with the Principal, senior leadership, HODs, administration and external stakeholders.
• Follow up on decisions emerging from leadership meetings.
• Ensure communication flows effectively between the Chairman's Office and relevant teams.
• Organise leadership reviews and institutional meetings.

Research & Business Support

• Conduct quick research on institutions, companies, people, trends and opportunities as required.
• Prepare decision-support notes and comparative analysis.
• Assist the Chairman in evaluating strategic partnerships, institutional initiatives and new opportunities.

External Engagement

• Coordinate with industry leaders, educationists, government/institutional stakeholders, alumni and other important contacts.
• Support preparation for external meetings, events and engagements.

This role requires an individual who is:

• Exceptionally organised and detail-oriented.
• A strong written and verbal communicator.
• Comfortable interacting with senior leaders.
• Able to understand context quickly and work independently.
• Excellent at follow-up and execution.
• Discreet, trustworthy and mature.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities.
• Proficient in PowerPoint, Excel, Google Workspace/MS Office and modern productivity tools.
• Curious about education, business, technology and institutional development.
• Capable of saying, I will take care of it — and actually doing so.

• Bachelor's / Master's degree from a reputed institution.
• 5–10 years of experience in executive assistance, management consulting, business operations, strategy, project management, founder's office or a similar high-ownership role.
• Experience working directly with CXOs, founders, promoters, trustees or senior institutional leaders is preferred.
• Candidates from consulting, corporate strategy, startup/founder's office, education or professional services backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

The Chairman should increasingly be able to focus on:

VISION | PEOPLE | RELATIONSHIPS | STRATEGY

while the Executive Assistant ensures that:

DECISIONS → OWNERS → ACTIONS → FOLLOW-UP → RESULTS

A unique opportunity to work closely with the Chairman of a large higher-education institution and gain first-hand exposure to institutional strategy, leadership, decision-making, transformation and stakeholder management.

This role is particularly suited to someone who wants to build a long-term career in strategy, leadership, institutional management or the Founder's Office.

Location: Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh

Employment: Full-time

Interested candidates may apply with their updated CV and a brief note explaining why they believe they would be effective working directly with a Chairman/Founder.
