Mesa School of Business
Mesa is a startup-focused business education institution built for people who want to build, not just study. We run the PG Startup Leadership Program, the UG Business & Entrepreneurship program, and are launching our newest offering, PGP Forge. As we scale into our next phase of growth - welcoming our biggest cohort yet - we're looking to strengthen the team that keeps everything running: Operations.
About the Role
We're hiring a Head of Operations to lead and build out our Operations function from the ground up. This role sits at the center of everything that happens at Mesa - programs, events, faculty and vendor coordination, and the day-to-day work that keeps a growing institution running smoothly. You'll own the systems, the processes, and the people that make it all happen.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement strong processes and SOPs across programs, events, and day-to-day operations
- Manage stakeholder relationships end-to-end - team members, faculty, speakers, vendors, and partners
- Lead and grow a team of 10+ people across multiple functions
- Adapt quickly to last-minute changes in schedules, conflicts, and plans without compromising the experience
- Bring a data-first approach to problem-solving and decision-making
- Build the operational backbone to support Mesa's next phase of growth
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience running complex, on-ground operations, ideally in a startup environment
- Proven experience managing a team of 10+ people across multiple functions
- A strong track record of building operational systems and processes from scratch
- Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across internal and external groups
- A data-first mindset for problem-solving and decision-making
Nice to Have
Candidates with a background in the Indian Armed Forces transitioning into the startup ecosystem are especially encouraged to apply - many of the skills built there translate strongly into this role.
