Academy Head

The role

This is the part of the company that changes lives most directly. You build and run the certification programme with approved training partners, you own curriculum quality and certification outcomes, and you hold the placement promise: a pilot who qualifies should have a posting waiting. The programme is designed to pay for itself.

Key responsibilities

  • Build and run the pilot certification programme with approved training partners
  • Own enrolment, curriculum quality and certification outcomes against the published gates
  • Hold the placement promise — match qualified pilots to stations and track that they actually started
  • Monitor training quality directly: sit in on sessions, take candidate feedback, and change the curriculum when it is wrong
  • Own the academy’s operating budget and its self-funding model
  • Build the relationships with training organisations and the regulator
  • Report monthly on cohorts, completion and placement — including the shortfalls

Eligibility

  • Six to ten years in technical training, vocational education or aviation training
  • You have run a certification programme end to end, not just taught on one
  • Familiarity with remote pilot certification and the approval regime around it
  • Able to build and hold partnerships with external training providers
  • Fluent Tamil, and credible with rural young people and their families

What you get

  • The pilot supply for the entire network — the function that decides whether it can scale
  • Work whose outcome is a person with a certificate and a job
