Let’s get going =)

Role & Tasks:

Good working knowledge in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop & CorelDraw

Daily communication with our customers, getting customer artwork elements such as logos, wordings & corporate colours and developing garment prototypes as well as the job card. Highest level of attention to detail with garment artworks as a single wrong letter or sign means the rejection of the whole batch of garments done using that artwork by our customers.  

Eg:

  • Liasing with both customers & suppliers for the right outcome of the products
  • Working knowledge in handling social media pages  with content creation
  • Design concept development for products & brand building activities
  • Contributing to monthly sales targets
  • Secure, maintain & grow: corporate customers, suppliers & product range
  • Order coordination through liaising with clients and the suppliers
  • Operate B2B Sales Strategies (eg: Create new business leads and convert inbound prospects to customers through mail, cold call campaigns, corporate customer visits and etc.)
  • Collect & analyze both internal data and external market data to formulate, implement and evaluate strategies
  • Being brave enough to take decisions: Being part of our small team to plan, organize and control functions from Sales to Marketing & from Operations even to Strategic Management where needed.

What matters the most:

  • Attitude! Attitude! Attitude!  We know you are not a naysayer, we need the ones who would even jump into hell with pleasure =D

  • Consciousness about accountability over responsibility. Simply owning not just the tasks but most importantly the outcome.

  • Minimal or no supervision. Self-supervision without a need for regular followups. What you would do when nobody is watching you would be exactly what you would do when everybody is watching you. Self-discipline and reliability are jewels to wear.

  • Honestly & trustworthiness is a very expensive gift. We do not lock-up our information very well knowing that such information may help the growth of the team as a whole. Extreme care with such information is totally vested on our team as we have total faith in our team members. Maintaining & growing that chain of trust is on the hands of each new team member who comes onboard. You are the person who knows you the best, not us.

  • We all do mistakes. It is OK to do a mistake but NEVER OK not to take the learning out of it. Ability to unlearn and relearn every day with a mindset to not repeat the same mistake twice is something we greatly expect. You know you are a super curious mind with eagerness to self-learn multiple skills with the support of the team, from friends and even from Google. You will be doing certain tasks probably for the first time in your entire life. Do not worry. Be ready to get on top of the learning curve, there is always a first step for anything.

  • A great team player with empathy who never lets the team down. Selfish, non-team players are not encouraged to apply.

  • Good communication skills with information right first time.
