• Plan and execute growth-oriented activities such as trial classes, assessments, workshops, and challenge camps
• Design activity rhythm and user touchpoints to move parents from participation to deeper understanding, ultimately leading to conversion
• Track key operational metrics (registrations, participation rate, retention rate, etc.), conduct data reviews, and iterate SOPs accordingly
• User Conversion & Funnel Design
• Design and optimize the full conversion path from first contact to course enrollment
• Build standardized conversion SOPs, including communication rhythm, follow-up mechanisms, and conversion milestones
• Deeply understand parent decision logic and continuously refine messaging and communication frameworks
• Improve conversion rates based on data analysis; identify drop-off points at each stage and propose solutions
• Increase overall conversion efficiency and ROI from events to enrollment
• Cross-Team Collaboration
• Collaborate with curriculum, teaching, and marketing teams to translate learning goals into user-facing activities
• Collect project data and conduct performance reviews
• Continuously optimize operational processes and SOPs to improve execution efficiency

• Strong written and spoken English skills; able to use English as a working language (Reference: IELTS 7.0+, TOEFL 100+)
• Strong time management skills; detail-oriented and reliable
• Strong data awareness; able to track performance and conduct data-driven reviews
• Strong parent communication skills and user insight ability; able to understand and respond to parents’ real concerns
• Working proficiency in both English and Mandarin is required

Preferred Qualifications

• 1–2 years of experience in education, project operations, marketing, or community management
• Solid understanding of U.S. K–12 education, English learning, or student development

• Rapid Development of User Insight & Operations Skills: Build systematic understanding of North American parent needs, decision logic, and conversion pathways
