Director - ERP

Open 15d

Summary

Leads ERP architecture and roadmap for a national university, designing scalable systems for student/faculty/admin workflows and mentoring developers while collaborating with UI/UX and stakeholders.

ABOUT RISHIHOOD UNIVERSITY

Rishihood is India’s first national transformation university. It prepares learners to solve the big problems of tomorrow. Our transformative education is built on three pillars:

Personal Impact – developing physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual strength.

Professional Impact – building real-world skills through industry-integrated, practice-based learning.

Public Impact – fostering interdisciplinary thinking and a commitment to nation-building.

At Rishihood, we nurture leaders who will transform themselves, their professions, and the nation.

POSITION | Director – ERP

This role leads the RishiVerse Tech team and owns the university's ERP — not just its upkeep, but its architecture. We have developers who can build features; what we need is someone who can think through the entire user journey (student, faculty, admin, parent) and design a system that actually works for how people use it. This person works closely with UI/UX and with stakeholders across schools and functions to translate real operational needs into a coherent, well-architected platform, and then plans the roadmap to get there.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the ERP roadmap: architecture, data model, and the sequence in which capabilities get built
  • Map end-to-end user journeys across student, faculty, and administrative workflows, and identify where the current system creates friction.
  • Work directly with UI/UX to design interfaces that are usable by non-technical stakeholders — faculty, wardens, admissions staff
  • Translate requirements from stakeholders across schools and functions into technical specifications
  • Lead and mentor the existing developer team; assign and review work against the architecture plan
  • Set technical standards for the ERP: data integrity, integrations, scalability as the university grows
  • Build and maintain an action plan with clear milestones, not just an open-ended backlog
  • Evaluate build-vs-buy decisions for specific modules where relevant
Requirements
  • 10 - 12 years of experience in software/product architecture, with direct experience owning an ERP or comparable internal platform
  • Demonstrated ability to think in systems — someone who can look at a messy, partially-built ERP and see the clean architecture underneath it
  • Working fluency in UI/UX principles, even if not a hands-on designer — able to brief and evaluate design work
  • Experience managing developers and translating stakeholder needs into technical execution
  • Prior experience in EdTech, higher education, or a similarly multi-stakeholder environment is a strong plus
  • Comfortable being the technical decision-maker in a room full of non-technical stakeholders
Reporting Line

Heads the RishiVerse Tech team; reports to the COO's office.
