About Sarvam Shakti
For 13 years, Sarvam Shakti has championed the transformative power of holistic education and empowerment for marginalized girls, now expanding our footprint into women’s development programs. Spanning three Indian states and serving over 300 students, our centers thrive on energy, purpose, and community spirit, powered by an inspiring team of paid educators and volunteer professionals.
Our previous Admin Head is transitioning to pursue her MBA after three dedicated years. We are now looking for an energetic, values-driven individual to take over the helm of daily administration and operational leadership at our Gurgaon headquarters.
Role Overview
This is not a traditional behind-the-desk clerical role. As the Head of Administration, you will be the operational heartbeat of our Gurgaon center—bridging efficient office management with active, heart-centered ground presence among our children, educators, and community volunteers.
Key Responsibilities
- Day-to-Day Operations & Communication: Drive center operations, handle professional email correspondence, maintain digital records, and serve as the primary operational anchor.
- Accounts & Billing Support: Prepare receipts, manage vendor and utility billing, record daily expenses, and keep accounts clear and transparent.
- Staff & Volunteer Rostering: Design and coordinate schedules for paid teachers and guest/volunteer educators, ensuring classes run seamlessly.
- Ground Supervision & Learning Atmosphere: Step into classrooms daily to observe sessions, ensure teaching quality, and build an encouraging, disciplined, and nurturing environment for the children.
- Community & Volunteer Relations: Welcome, brief, and engage visiting mentors, donors, and volunteers to align them with the organization's ethos.
Candidate Profile
- Experience: Prior experience in office administration, center coordination, or grassroots/NGO field work.
- Inspiration & Presence: A high-energy, empathetic role model who can uplift girls, motivate staff, and lead by example.
- Language & Tech Skills: Fluent written and spoken English and Hindi; confident with basic computer applications (Google Workspace, MS Excel, Word, and email management).
- Location: Based in or around Gurgaon with reliable daily commute.
- Reference: At least one strong professional reference from a previous employer/supervisor.
