Community & Innovation Program Associate KL Penang Cyberjaya July 31, 2022

Community & Innovation Program Associate

Our work consistently revolves around the theme of Making, Innovation, Technology, and Education. We are seeking individuals with a strong desire for learning to help redefine the future of education through an innovative lens.

As a Programme Associate, you will play a pivotal role in driving positive change in education. We are in search of a high-caliber team member who possesses the capacity for meticulous planning, organised coordination, efficient execution, detailed monitoring and evaluation, and the potential to lead. This role requires a strong emphasis on empathy, grit, proactive problem-solving and a visionary mindset. Extensive travel to schools in Malaysia is an integral part of this role.

We are looking for an individual who will be able to :

• Commit for a minimum of 1 year;
• Coordinate, execute, and monitor our STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education programs nationwide;
• Monitor, track, and adjust our STEM education program activities based on the critical milestones strategized in our program plan;
• Work closely with our Project Manager, Partners, teachers, and students to create and nurture a culture of innovation under our education programs;
• Maintain a strong positive relationship with individuals and local community groups (schools, parents, universities, and SMEs) across Malaysia.

What to expect?

The work generally involves a lot of communication with various stakeholders & beneficiaries. Much of the working day is spent in casual settings but do dress accordingly. Meetings with (potential) sponsors & high-ranking officers (from both corporate & government) may require a smart dress code.

The work often requires sensitivity, creativity, passion, and determination to overcome barriers and to engage beneficiaries & stakeholders. Be prepared for setbacks before success is achieved.

Remote work is possible, but we prefer someone who is based in Klang Valley or Penang.

Who are we looking for?

Working hours

Working hours are typically around 37 to 45 hours per week. Hours are often flexible but some programmes may require weekend work.
