Growth Manager - Admissions

About Mesa

Mesa School of Business is India's first VC-backed business school focused on 0-to-1 venture building. It was founded by Harvard, IIT and Kellogg alumni and recently closed a 110 Cr Series A.

The undergraduate program trains students to build real companies, not just study them. Each cohort is small, selective and outcome-driven.

The role in brief

This role owns the UG admissions engine end to end. It runs from the first ad impression to the final interview, and it builds the systems that let a cohort of 200–400 students scale without breaking.

It sits where sales, marketing, growth and people meet. Half the job is running the funnel. The other half is redesigning it while it runs: new SOPs, new automation, a rebuilt interview process and a growing team.

Think of it as building Mesa's go-to-market function for admissions, not just executing a cycle.

What you'll own

Funnel strategy and growth analytics

The goal is not more students. It is better ones: high-quality, high-intent students who are a real fit for Mesa. Every number you track should serve that.

• Own the full admissions funnel, top to mid: lead → Info Session → MSAT → application → interview → offer.
• Run a daily lead-quality review across region, campaign and creative. Flag what drives intent, not just volume.
• Build and track unit economics: CPL, CSQL, CAC, LTV:CAC and ARPU for the cycle.
• Analyse past cohorts to find real conversion drivers, such as parent alignment and session attendance, and feed them back into targeting.

What you'll bring

• 3–5 years in fast-moving startups, across growth, brand, marketing or community-led businesses.
• A track record of walking into ambiguity and leaving behind systems others can run.
• Comfort with numbers: funnel math, unit economics, and spreadsheets you build yourself.
• Sharp, plain writing for students, parents, investors and internal teams.
• Experience leading and hiring small, cross-functional teams.
• Ease switching between strategy, analysis, copy and on-ground execution in the same week.
• Bonus: event production, cold outreach and partnerships, or EdTech experience.
