Some careers end with a title, while others leave a lasting legacy.

We are building a new-age Bschool in Mumbai (Lower Parel). An institution cobuilt and backed by elite BFSI CEOs and founders engineered to produce modern finance professionals for the next era. Combining application first, technical mastery, client facing skills and AI-native leaders across Investments, IB, Markets, Risk, and Fintech.

A school that’s designed to last centuries and not decades, one that builds talent through live mandates, industry-partnered research, and an obsession with great career outcomes.

We are looking for a respected finance leader ready to shape how the next generation of leaders are groomed. This is not an Academic, HR or L&D role.

You will not be expected to design pedagogy frameworks or manage case-writing mechanics. A dedicated L&D Head and an Academic Dean from a top-tier B-School will support those functions.

Your mandate is different. You will bring industry judgment into the room — what must a 25-year-old truly know to survive in a front-office IB team? What level of modelling depth is non-negotiable? What separates employable from exceptional?

You will be a part of the institution’s founding leadership team.
