We are looking to add 3 Associates to our Assessment team, with specific focus on: (1) English language and communication, (2) Hindi language and Hindi medium, (3) Social Sciences.

Persons with significant experience could be considered for a Senior Associate or domain Lead role. The Associate role offers great growth opportunities towards leadership in assessment and also to work in training or other areas over time.

• Continuously build a pool of external subject matter experts and work with them to create and review assessment instruments.
• Deliver assessments by supporting the operations team where needed.
