China Expat Jobs

PLTFRM SHANGHAI IS HIRING!
In a jungle of plants, amid the aroma of coffee and fruit, you will be sitting on a comfy chair in front of a slick designed-in-California computer. After the usual morning chat, you will work your a** off to provide the best work you have ever done as though your life depends on it (and it actually does, doesn’t it?). This, 5 days a week, 8 hours a day job offers a satisfying paycheck at the end of the month, and will allow you to enjoy the CNY break in Pattaya.

In this creative workshop, where ideas pop up like mushrooms, you will work for companies in China and other countries around the world, including a flying hospital, candy maker, international pharmacy, winemakers from the other side of the globe, and a 21st century alchemist, and that’s just the beginning.

REQUIREMENTS
You are enthusiastic, positive, and curious.
You are open-minded, kind, and polite.
You keep learning.
You love what you do. You read about and research it.
(+ See more specific job position requirements below.)

Attitude
You act with integrity and responsibility, respecting yourself, others, nature, and the law. You have industry expertise and learn continuously, anticipating the future to advance in an ever-changing world. You are creative and challenge the status quo, fueling your innate curiosity about the world. You are an effective communicator who builds better solutions by listening to other ideas with empathy.
We’re looking for a problem-solver who can simplify and clarify even the most complex ideas.
Eager to learn new skills and put knowledge into practice. Strong interest and curiosity about creative fields of work. Passionate about branding and strong attention to detail.

• Strong in conceptual thinking and design development.
• Excellent knowledge and skills related to current creative and design trends (from branding identity and digital marketing, to time-sensitive media).

• An understanding in B2B and B2C businesses.
