Information about the position

We are looking for a smart and experienced individual to represent our China Branch and lead the local team of 7 young (between 25-35 years old) and talented staffers.

You will be second in command, reporting directly to the CEO of the China Branch, managing all day-to-day operations, and maintaining day-to-day oversight of the staff, the branch company and ongoing projects.

It is an exciting opportunity for the right individual (experienced or one seeking a new career challenge and step-up), who is able to carry the serious responsibility of nurturing, growing and expanding our China Branch and its HR, clients, projects, suppliers and products.

First, let us describe the type of person we are looking for and whether you match the profile…

Your values come first - you are a committed leader, with proven loyalty and dedicated engagement; respectful to others and generous of spirit; considering others before yourself; being kind and just.
Your ambitions come before skills - you can think big, see the big picture. You compare with the best, you are passionate about goals, and committed to excellence, rather than good, or average; you identify with the likes of Jack Ma or Bill Gates.

You are an entrepreneur, a mobilizer, inspirational, intelligent, ethical, respectful, prudent, rigorous, observant, cool-headed, open, precise, analytical & tactical. You keep your promises.

You come from an international business environment and are keenly aware of the demands of operating in an intercultural setting. You understand China business culture and practices of course have a solid understanding and operational Mandarin proficiency.

The company's executive staff is based in EU headquarters and as most of our colleagues come from Europe, having solid understanding of Western standards yet being “China smart“ and knowing well Chinese business culture is a must if you want to succeed in your role and gain respect of your new team.

Ideally, you have 5-7 years of experience in middle to higher management position in foreign enterprise, WFOE or joint venture, so this would represent a natural step in your career.

Your experience comes mainly from international education or from other areas, such as: travel & tourism, b2b sales & marketing, commerce or consulting.

If you come from IT, engineering, logistics, construction, or other heavy industry or high-tech areas, then this job is most likely not the right match for you.

Leadership - you lead and inspire your team with charisma and by example.

Intercultural awareness – you pay attention to cultural differences within the team, able to integrate and communicate best practices from both Western and Eastern values and make everyone feel included and welcome.

Management - you get things done efficiently, as a team. You manage the team as an "older brother", not as a "big brother", respecting and dedicating time equally to each individual team member.
Personal Network – you are a well-established individual with a stable environment of family, friends and local community as well as a solid personal network & of course guanxi.

Finances - you have experiences with corporate finances (ideally international). You are prudent and deliberate when it comes to finances. You have good judgement, analytical thinking and experience in planning and reporting. Your numbers add up.
