- Direct access to our founder and plenty of learning opportunities.
- Creative freedom to try new ideas, and see them go live.
- Paid internship and the possibility to grow into bigger roles over time.

- Languages: Good proficiency in both Chinese and English (writing and speaking).
- You’re studying Marketing, Communications, Business, or something similar.
