• Logistics Support: Coordinate with the operations team for partner-related logistics (e.g., travel, session materials, tech setup).
• Feedback Loops & Relationship Building: Collect feedback post-program, identify areas for improvement, and contribute to partner nurturing initiatives.

Who We’re Looking For:

1-2 years of experience in coordination, stakeholder management, event support, or delivery operations (experience in L&D, coaching, consulting, or education sectors is a plus)

Strong organizational capability and comfort with tech-based tools (Excel, Notion, etc.)

A high sense of ownership, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fastpaced, collaborative environment.
