Deskripsi pekerjaan Venture Growth Strategist KONEK
About Us:
KONEK empowers young professionals in Indonesia to navigate career development, career transitions, and study preparation by leveraging technology and human connections. We provide personalized guidance through curated information and meaningful connections with credible individuals and organizations, helping you achieve your career and educational aspirations.
Our mission is to bridge the gap in access to quality learning and career opportunities, ensuring that every young professional—regardless of their background—can reach their full potential.
As we are still in the early product-market fit stage, the environment is dynamic and unstructured, offering flexibility, hands-on learning opportunities, and room for experimentation.
What we are looking for:
We're looking for a full-time Venture Growth Strategist who’s passionate about people, education, and career development. If you're a self-starter who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment and loves solving big problems with bold ideas—this could be your opportunity.
Got bold and creative ideas to solve challenges in white-collar career development or improve access to higher education support in Indonesia? This is your chance to bring them to life. In this role, you’ll work directly with the founder to lead business development, drive sales growth, and build strategic partnerships—while playing a key role in shaping our culture and driving meaningful impact.
If that sounds like you, and you're excited to join a mission-driven early team, we’d love to meet you.
Your Role & Responsibilities: Key responsibilities may include, but are not limited to
1. Lead Business Development & Partnerships – Identify and establish partnerships with education service providers, organizations, and individual mentors/practitioners in Indonesia (35%)
2. Drive Sales & Growth – Help drive KONEK’s revenue by creatively promoting and selling KONEK for Education products (50%)
3. Operations & Administration – Keep our website, customer databases, and inquiries organized to ensure smooth daily operations (15%)
Work Setting: Fully remote, but preference for candidates based in Jabodetabek for occasional in-person work.
Who We’re Looking For:
1. Have at least a bachelor's degree.
2. Entrepreneurial spirit – You take initiative, think creatively, and tackle challenges with optimism and resourcefulness.
3. At least 2+ years of hands-on experience in business development, sales, or other revenue-generating roles—ideally in education, media, e-commerce, or consumer goods. You’ve done the work, closed deals, and driven growth. Note: we value relevant experience over long resumes. 10 years in unrelated roles won’t outweigh 2 years of meaningful, hands-on experience in roles that directly align with this one.
4. Strong project management – Able to juggle multiple projects while staying on time and on budget.
5. Excellent communication – You’re a confident communicator, skilled in negotiation, stakeholder management, and analytical thinking.
6. Digital marketing know-how – Experience in running effective digital campaigns that deliver measurable sales results.
7. Impact-driven mindset – Whether you’ve launched a project, run a small business, or led an initiative—you make things happen.
8. Bilingual proficiency – Comfortable working in both Bahasa Indonesia and English.
9. Immediate availability – Ready to jump in and start making an impact.
Bonus Points If You Have:
Have started a business or led a high-impact project that developed your leadership skills.
Have studied abroad and/or navigated mainstream scholarships to study abroad (e.g., LPDP, AAS, Chevening).
Benefits and Opportunities:
Competitive Compensation - We offer a competitive double-digit monthly salary (IDR), commensurate with your experience and contribution.
Remote & Flexible Work (Jabodetabek Preferred) – We work remotely and believe great work happens when people have the flexibility to do their best. You're free to work from wherever you're most productive, with availability for team meetings and collaboration outside office hours. While we prefer candidates based in the Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) area for occasional in-person meetings and operational flexibility, we welcome applications from across Indonesia. If you're a strong fit for the role and share our values, we'd still love to hear from you.
Hands-on Startup Experience – Build from the ground up alongside the founder. You’ll have the freedom to try new ideas, take ownership of your work, and help shape the company from an early stage.
Professional Development – Take on high-priority projects that stretch your entrepreneurial skills, strategic thinking, and leadership potential to take company further leadership role. As Konek grows, you'll have the opportunity to grow with the company and take on greater leadership responsibilities.
High-Impact Projects – Be directly involved in work that influences not just business results, but also company culture and long-term impact.
Contract Type: 1-year full-time contract with the potential for extension and future opportunities as the company grows.
Please Do Not Apply If:
You are a fresh undergraduate graduate with less than 2 years of full-time work experience.
You have never held a revenue-generating or commercial role, whether professionally or through entrepreneurial, freelance, or side projects.
You are not comfortable working in a startup environment characterized by ambiguity, rapid change, high ownership, and limited structure.
