• Guide schools on competition formats and student participation
• Assist with coordination during competitions, workshops, or showcases

Account & Collaboration

• Work closely with curriculum, operations, and marketing teams
• Support workshops and selected education events when required

Whom We’re Looking For

• Experience working with schools in Malaysia
• Comfortable engaging Chinese-speaking, Malay, and international stakeholders and community.
• Warm, professional, and grounded communicator
• Open to learning account management and competition support
