This is a high-ownership, dual-track role combining core human resources operations with executive assistance. Outstanding performers will have a direct pathway to join the Manastej core team in a full-time capacity.

- Employer Branding: Assist in positioning Manastej as a top destination for ambitious talent through campus outreach, professional networks, and recruitment drives.
Requirements
- Ambitious & Ownership-Driven: A self-starter with a strong entrepreneurial mindset who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment rather than waiting for step-by-step instructions.
- Exceptional Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills with the professional maturity to represent the Founder's office when interacting with candidates and partners.
- Organizational Rigor: High attention to detail, ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously, and proficiency in modern productivity and scheduling tools (Google Workspace, Notion, Calendly, etc.).
- People Instincts: Strong interpersonal intelligence with an eye for identifying driven, culturally aligned talent.
- Educational Background: Pursuing or recently graduated with a degree in Management (BBA/MBA), Human Resources, Psychology, Commerce, or a related field (open to all driven candidates regardless of degree if you have the right hustle).
