• Cross-Cultural Communication

• High energy and positive attitude; driven to learn and grow

• Willingness to travel as needed and flexibility to work across time zones

• Excellent organisational skills and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

• Advantageous:

• Experience creating content (writing, social media, video editing)

• Knowledge of SEO, analytics tools, or paid social campaign management
