We are a fast-growing SaaS company in the EdTech space, operating mainly in Southeast Asia.

**Position Overview**
"Being a member of the CEO's Team, you will be my extension - eyes and brains and legs on a normal day. If you are good, you will almost double my body. On other days, you will have to be the SWAT team to parachute in to resolve a situation with multiple stakeholders, or laser in to execute on an opportunity as a one-man army. In this role, you will almost have to be able to synchronize with me - you will need to be super smart, super driven, have a good balance of analytical and communication skills, and a good balance of taking-charge/making judgment calls and consulting advice from me or others. You will have unlimited exposure and growth opportunity, if you know how to capitalize on it (if u are asking what are those, then you are the wrong person, pls don't apply)"
