Minimum requirements

• Ability to communicate simply and meaningfully: speak clearly and write well across various formats and applications.
• Data-driven storyteller: understand Teleport’s story, conduct research, analyze content and reports, and articulate market, industry and financial data to produce quality written and presentation work (talking points, articles, op-eds, press releases, slides, etc.).
• Ability to meet deadlines, adapt quickly to changes, multitask, and stay composed under pressure.
• Self-starter, independent with minimal supervision, yet highly communicative and a team player.
• Resourceful, with strong critical and analytical thinking.
• Highly proficient in English; proficiency in Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin is an added advantage.
• Experience in government and industry relations.
