ABOUT THE COMPANY
We are a globally established specialty material distribution company headquartered in USA, with ambitions to grow rapidly across Aisa and international markets.

THE ROLE
This is a high-impact, hands-on role that spans office administration, human resources, vendor coordination, stakeholder liaison, and basic financial reporting. You will be the operational backbone of the office - keeping things running smoothly, anticipating needs before they arise and solving problems independently. In an SME manufacturing environment, no two days are alike, and we need someone who thrives in that dynamic environment.
