SBI Leadership Institute 2026 - Dean, Faculty & Marketing Roles for Education-Sector Specialists
These three SBI openings are closer to executive-education hiring than traditional bank recruitment. Dean needs senior academic/learning leadership, Faculty needs six years of genuine teaching/training, and Marketing Executive needs marketing experience tied to executive education/training rather than generic retail promotion. CTC ceilings are ₹98 lakh, ₹63 lakh and ₹52 lakh respectively, broadly with an 80:20 fixed-variable structure. Dean/Faculty candidates also face a demo element. Applications close 6 October 2026.

About this Recruitment
Recruitment-specific overview from the published record.
The organisation name can mislead applicants here: these are SBI jobs, but the work centre is the State Bank Institute of Leadership, so the strongest profiles look more like executive-education professionals than conventional bankers. The Dean role is institutional leadership, the Faculty role is teaching/facilitation, and the Marketing Executive role is about creating demand for learning programmes.
For Dean, the headline qualification—management postgraduate or the stated research-degree alternative—matters less than the 15-year career arc and senior academic/learning leadership. Faculty is even easier to misread: a postgraduate degree with 55% is only the base; SBI wants about six years of actual teaching or corporate-training delivery. Marketing Executive requires an MBA/equivalent in Marketing and about five years of marketing, but three years should connect to executive education, universities, management institutes, training or EdTech-type markets. Generic FMCG or branch-sales experience is therefore not automatically the best fit.
The compensation ceilings—₹98 lakh for Dean, ₹63 lakh for Faculty and ₹52 lakh for Marketing Executive—are contract CTC figures, not flat fixed salaries. SBI uses a broadly 80:20 fixed-variable structure. The notice also contains role-specific accommodation and approved external teaching/consulting provisions for academic posts, which means total economic value cannot be reduced to one headline number.
Selection differs from exam-centric bank hiring. Dean and Faculty go through shortlisting followed by an interview-cum-demo, so the ability to lead or teach in front of evaluators matters. Marketing Executive is shortlisted and interviewed. Final merit is interview-led, with CTC negotiation and document verification thereafter.
All three roles are associated with SBIL, New Town, Kolkata, but SBI retains administrative deployment flexibility. The contract is initially three years and can be extended within the advertised framework, subject to review rather than automatic continuation. Applications remain open through 6 October 2026.
