What’s exciting about this role?

Do you want to drive a next-generation placement engine that helps a farmer’s daughter land a role at a forward-looking startup?

Most placement systems today are broken. They rely on resumes and mass applications but at Nimaya, we are building something different, something that goes far beyond resumes and lengthy cover letters.

Our placement approach focuses on:

• Proof of work (portfolios, live projects)
• Visibility (LinkedIn, video introductions)
• Clarity (storytelling and communication)
• Market engagement (outreach, conversations, interviews)

As Placement Outcomes Manager, you will own this entire journey helping young naaris become placement ready and convert opportunities into meaningful outcomes.
