Job Description
<p><strong>About the Role</strong><br>The Chinese Growth Center drives growth across Chinese-speaking markets. This role sits close to the center of decision-making, supporting the Head of CGC directly on high-priority cross-functional initiatives.</p>
<p>The immediate focus is the practical application of AI in business operations — identifying where AI can drive real productivity gains, and making it actually happen. Beyond the AI workstream, this role will evolve to cover other strategic initiatives over time.</p>
<p>This is a role for someone who takes ownership end-to-end. You will be expected to get your hands dirty, move fast, and deliver — not just coordinate.</p>
<p><strong>What You'll Do</strong><br><strong>Near-term: AI Application & Productivity Initiative</strong><br>* Drive the full lifecycle of AI initiatives hands-on — from scoping and tool research to solution design, testing, and rollout<br>* Work across teams to embed AI tools into real business workflows and track measurable outcomes<br>* Identify blockers early and solve them proactively, without waiting to be directed<br>* Stay current on emerging AI tools and synthesize findings into repeatable best practices for the team</p>
<p><strong>Ongoing: Cross-functional Strategic Initiatives</strong><br>* Own progress tracking and delivery management for key initiatives, keeping milestones on track and quality high<br>* Build lightweight dashboards and reporting to keep the Head of CGC informed and decisions moving<br>* Pick up new initiatives quickly, build context fast, and deliver in ambiguous or fast-changing situations<br>* Surface collaboration friction across teams and drive alignment where needed</p>
<p><strong>What We're Looking For</strong><br><strong>Requirements</strong><br>* Fluent in Chinese (written and spoken) at a professional level — this is a working requirement for the role<br>* Bachelor's degree or above<br>* Practical experience with AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Midjourney) — able to speak to specific use cases and outcomes</p>
<p><strong>Qualities that will set you apart</strong><br>* Ownership over everything: You follow through without being followed up on<br>* Hands-on by default: You do the research, build the doc, test the tool yourself — you don't delegate the groundwork<br>* Steady under pressure: You can manage multiple workstreams in parallel and still deliver quality<br>* Genuinely into AI: You use it, you think about it, you explore it on your own — not just familiar with it in theory<br>* Clear, direct communicator: You cut to the point, structure your thinking, and make it easy for others to act on what you share</p>
<p><strong>Good to have</strong><br>* Experience in internet, content, e-commerce, or growth-related roles<br>* Background in cross-functional project management or initiative delivery<br>* Hands-on with Prompt Engineering or workflow automation tools (Make, Zapier, n8n)<br>* Familiarity with Chinese-speaking market dynamics and user behavior</p>
<p><strong>Our Working Culture</strong><br>We move fast and hold a high bar for delivery. This is a role with real ownership and real impact — you'll be working close to where decisions are made, on initiatives that matter to the business.</p>
<p>We value people who are energized by solving hard problems, take pride in their work, and want to grow quickly. If that sounds like you, we'd like to hear from you.</p><div class="content-conclusion"><div data-lark-html-role="root"><span class="text-only" data-eleid="18"><span class="text-only"><span class="text-only" data-eleid="6">Notice:<br></span></span></span>

Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
