Who Should Not Apply

• If you’re looking for a comfortable, low-intensity role, this is not it.
• If you struggle with direct stakeholders, fast decisions, or pressure, you will find this challenging.
• If you need perfect structure before you can operate, a startup environment will frustrate you — we are building the structure as we scale
• If personal growth, ownership, and accountability are not priorities for you, this role will not be a good fit.
• If you tend to take feedback or disagreements personally rather than professionally, this environment may feel tough.

We believe that different perspectives make us stronger and help us do logistics better across Southeast Asia. We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate what makes each of us unique.
