Job description

At Taksu Pustaka & Taksu Book Café, we believe books, coffee, and community can change the way we connect with one another. As our Business Development Manager, you’ll play a key role in making this vision sustainable — growing our revenue, managing our finances, and helping Taksu thrive as both a cultural and business hub.

This is not just a desk job. You’ll be part of a small, passionate team where your ideas directly shape how an independent library and café can survive and grow in Jakarta’s creative ecosystem.

What You’ll Do

Business Development & Finance (Core):

Design and execute strategies to grow revenue across books, café, and events.

Build partnerships with publishers, brands, and community networks.

Oversee financial operations: reconcile daily sales, track expenses, prepare reports, and support budgeting.

Deliver weekly updates on sales, financial health, and growth opportunities.

Additional Responsibilities:

Collaborate with the creative team to support marketing campaigns and promotions.

Lend a hand in operations when needed: inventory checks, supplier coordination, or event logistics.

What We’re Looking For

At least 2 years’ experience in business development, sales, or finance.

Strong skills in negotiation, partnership building, and financial reporting.

Experience in retail, F&B, publishing, or lifestyle brands is an advantage.

Organized, proactive, and excited about working in a creative, community-driven space.

Comfortable switching between spreadsheets and conversations — you’re as confident with numbers as you are with people.

What We Offer

A mission-driven environment where books, coffee, and culture meet.

Growth opportunities in a pioneering creative business.

The chance to be part of a team that believes in stories, sustainability, and community.
