Khan Academy is already available in Hindi, Hinglish, Kannada, Gujarati, Tamil, Marathi and Punjabi.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Partner Operations and Support team at Khan Academy India sits at the intersection of various state teams, constantly receiving a wealth of valuable, on-the-ground information, ranging from local best practices to powerful testimonials from students, teachers, principals, and government officials. Currently, much of this qualitative data sits with the respective state program teams, and we risk losing these valuable insights over time. 

We are looking for a Program Documentation and Learning Coordinator to streamline our knowledge management. In this role, you will act as our internal knowledge hub, synthesizing qualitative insights into structured, easily accessible repositories. You will ensure that when our team prepares for a critical stakeholder meeting (such as with state leadership), we have the necessary best practices and success stories well organized and easy to use. Furthermore, you will champion the dissemination of this knowledge across the team and proactively identify gaps in our current understanding to help us continuously improve.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

• Collate and Ogranize: Collate and maintain a structured repository of best practices, key initiatives, and implementation challenges across programmes, enabling systematic cross-programme knowledge exchange.
• Repository Management: Build, organize, and maintain a highly intuitive knowledge repository. Categorize information into meaningful buckets so it is easily searchable and immediately useful for team members preparing for state leadership meetings or strategic planning.
• Internal Communication & Storytelling: Effectively disseminate key learnings to the wider team. Translate synthesized data into engaging written communications (emails, newsletters), presentation decks, and active contributions during weekly team meetings.
• Gap Analysis & Problem Solving: Critically evaluate the information we are collecting to identify missing pieces or blind spots in our programmatic understanding. Proactively communicate these gaps to the relevant state teams and create necessary resources to bridge them.

ABOUT YOU

You are someone with:  

• Experience: Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in program coordination, knowledge management, or qualitative research. Experience in the Indian education sector is an added advantage.
• Strong Information Synthesizing Capabilities: You have a proven ability to sift through large amounts of unstructured, qualitative information, connect the dots, and distill it into clear, meaningful themes and actionable insights.
• Strong Communication Skills: You possess outstanding written and verbal communication skills. You know how to tailor your message, whether you are writing an executive email, designing a presentation deck, or speaking in a cross-functional meeting.
• Problem Solving Aptitude: You don't just passively collect data, you analyze it. You have the critical thinking skills required to spot what is missing and the initiative to ask the right questions to fill those gaps.
• Systemic and organized approach: You have a natural affinity for creating systems and structure. (Proficiency in MS Office, G-Suite is a must)
• A willingness to roll up your sleeves and help the team get work done as we are growing 
• A passion for education and a desire to change the world

PERKS AND BENEFITS

We may be a non-profit, but we reward our talented team like a for-profit.

• Competitive salaries
• Remote-friendly workplace, Flexible schedules 
• Health and wellness benefits
• Professional development focus
• Paid time off and parental leave

What’s up? We’re VaynerMedia! We are a contemporary global creative and media agency with an expertise in driving relevance for clients and delivering impactful business results. The independently-owned agency was founded in 2009 and has offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Japan and Mexico City. VaynerMedia has been recognized for its work at Cannes Lions, the Clio Awards and The Webby Awards. It is part of the VaynerX family of companies.

Culture is our key and Empathy is how we build it. VaynerMediaAPAC is strong with a world-class combination of diverse backgrounds collaborating to put forward innovative, creative and strategic solutions to the one advantage that stands the test of time --- PEOPLE. Day in and day out, we propel some of the biggest brands in the world to the intersection of attention and culture. In APAC, we are proudly +150, servicing a diverse client all around the region.

The PITCH

We are creators, creative industry rogues, and SuperBowl stars. We are not just on the internet; we are creating the stuff the internet wants to see. We’re insane for what we do and the people we do it with. We move so fast and make so much good shit that we can’t even keep up with ourselves. So, we need more folks just like us, the unconventional, less-obvious, unseasoned (or over seasoned) creative pros. But above all - passionate makers and culture shakers. 

At VaynerMedia, we’re lucky that everyone within our walls thinks creatively – and shares a passion for building communities and understanding a world of micro-content. In that case, our designers serve a slightly different role than more traditional “digital creative types” but thankfully none of which involve the term “design ninja”

You have a passion for design and a hunger to learn how to create pieces that drive engagement and extend brand experiences. However, you also understand that good ideas can come from anywhere and are open-minded when working with teammates. You are a flexible multi-tasker who communicates naturally, passionately, and collaboratively. You'll be working exclusively within the digital realm (no print work) and the portfolio you submit should reflect this, but we also love seeing your overall solutions and ideas throughout your book.

This exciting opportunity will allow you to work independently while collaborating with our strong force of 50+ creative team members across APAC.

The task at hand:

• You’ll be asked to do a range of creative work from faster, “smaller” pieces to “bigger” builds for a range of clients, as well as VaynerMedia-wide projects
• You’ll work within a dynamic team structure with several creative leads, helping to support and deliver on our core community and brand specific campaigns
• You’ll have a mastery of industry best practices and the platforms we love, as well as be willing to learn and articulate the unique VaynerMedia POV on each
• You’ll care about concepting, designing, developing, and putting the team in the best position to present our ideas way more than you do about getting credit for the work
• You’re expected to be as much of a friendly teacher as a proficient doer when working within our Account team structure
• You’ll have strong typography skills, a love and mastery of photoshop and feel very comfortable in all adobe creative suite programs

The ideal candidate has:

• A Bachelor’s degree (preferably from a design school) and 2-3 years of design experience, developing and creating for digital / social strategies + campaigns, including client-facing experience
• The ability to effectively collaborate with various teams, providing the most useful guidance in an enthusiastic and inspiring manner
• A sparkling personality that will mesh well with the existing VaynerMedia family
• A smile on their face the majority of the time
• An understanding of UI/UX, hands on with design (motion and static) and an interest in the big social media platforms and their abilities/limitations (design-wise).
• Experience working with writers, developers and team focused creative process Mild to major illustration skills
• An obsession with sports, music, or food-we love people who can bring their own interests into the mix
  
  
  

What you should know about VaynerMedia

Think “lab” and not “agency”. We get excited about solving business problems, not creating advertising for the sake of making advertising. Our entrepreneurship DNA runs deep. We’re willing to break rules, try new things, and test hypotheses if it means better understanding our craft. It’s fun!

Our environment (and pace) feels much more like a start-up than most agencies you might be used to. Hopefully that, and the opportunity to collaborate with the talented and enthusiastic crew, work with big brands excites you, as it does us. We can’t wait to meet you.

P.S Portfolio would be nice :)
