in Beijing
Position:
The Junior Operations Manager role is position for someone a bit of management experience, both in managing people and in managing projects.

This position allows for professional development, acquisition of new skills, an opportunity to strengthen your management skills, all within an international and multilingual work environment.
The role of an Junior Operations Manager is comprised of four parts: managing projects, and managing people, and responding to the unknown. One day, you might be lead your team to get to the root of a video exporting error, and the next you could be guiding a direct report to design a system for scheduling interviews.
