Emeritus partners with globally ranked universities to build world‑class education ecosystems across online, hybrid and physical campus models. As we expand internationally particularly within India’s rapidly evolving higher‑education landscape, we are launching new university campuses with leading global institutions. These builds require full academic and professional services teams: Provosts, Deans, senior faculty, CFO/CBO leadership and core academic departments.
This role is central to that mission.
We are hiring a delivery‑focused Talent Acquisition Business Partner to lead international academic hiring and faculty pipeline development across our Transnational Education (TNE) initiatives, while also supporting wider business lines across the Emeritus ecosystem.
