In addition to responding to queries from colleagues around the world, you will often need to understand input from experts in various subject areas such as IT, learning & development, HR, communications, finance, and legal. 

The working hours are 15-20 hours per week. Your work can be arranged flexibly according to your classes and exam schedule.

To succeed in this role…

We are looking for a student at bachelor’s or master’s level with the following knowledge, skills and abilities:

• Structured, detail-oriented, and reliable.

• Independent and willing to take individual responsibility for your tasks, while understanding the team’s goals, deadlines, and priorities.
• Good at keeping focus on projects with many stakeholders.
