Not just a sales job. A decision that could change your next 5 years.

Here’s something you won’t see in most job ads: we’ll tell you exactly what the room feels like.

Fast. A little loud, in the best way. Everyone’s in the middle of something. Conversations happening everywhere; debriefs after client visits, someone talking through a deal they just closed, someone else getting coached through one they didn’t. The energy isn’t manufactured. It comes from a team that’s genuinely building something together.

That’s the environment you’d be walking into.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Representing established business brands in face-to-face client campaigns across Singapore; sitting down with company owners and managers, figuring out what they actually need, and showing them what’s possible.

Client-facing, B2B, people-heavy. The learning happens in the field, not a classroom.

WHAT TO EXPECT

→ Real responsibility from Day 1 — you’re in front of clients and contributing to outcomes from the moment you join

→ Your mentor has done this exact role — every debrief comes from experience, not a manual

→ Wins are celebrated. Losses are debriefed honestly. Nothing gets swept under the rug

→ Monday to Friday, always.

→ Regional exposure across Asia as you grow — understanding how deals are made in different rooms is worth experiencing firsthand

WHERE IT GOES

The people here who become team leads and campaign managers didn’t do it by waiting in line. They built trust with clients, came back better after every tough day, and naturally became the person others looked to. Performance moves you forward, your earnings grow in direct step with what you build.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

This role is a strong fit for fresh graduates who are ready to move from learning to doing. We don’t hire based on experience, we hire for character and the drive to grow.

• You get energy from people, not drained by them

• You’d rather be out in Singapore’s business community than behind a desk

• You want your income to reflect your effort, not a fixed number decided without you

• You’re ready to start and ready to grow

You could be running a team sooner than you think. Here’s where it starts.

Our best team leads started with a conversation.

One office visit. One business owner who needed something. One solution that fit. And then they had momentum — a client portfolio, a track record, and eventually a team to lead.

We’re looking for the next one.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Meeting business owners across Singapore. Understanding what their operations actually need. Presenting the right solution. Every visit teaches you something. Every conversation sharpens you.

THE SKILLS YOU’LL ACTUALLY BUILD

Real communication ability — Not ‘good with people’ on a CV, but the ability to walk into any room across Singapore and hold your ground

Commercial thinking — Understanding what makes a local business tick, what they’re worried about, and how to speak directly to that

Resilience — The kind built from taking rejection professionally and coming back sharper, not from a motivational poster

Leadership instincts — Because the moment you’re trusted with campaigns, you’re already learning to manage outcomes, not just complete tasks

These aren’t skills that stay here. They travel with you.

THE SETUP

• Monday to Friday

• Personal mentorship from someone who has done this exact role

• Regional travel across Asia as your career develops

• A culture where results are noticed and rewarded quickly

WHO THIS IS FOR

Fresh graduates and early-career candidates who are done waiting for something real to begin. We care less about what’s on your transcript and more about how you show up.

• You can hold a genuine conversation without reaching for a script

• You want skills that make you valuable anywhere — not just here

No prior experience needed. We teach the method. You bring the drive.

The client-facing part is just where it starts. Here’s what it grows into.

THE WORK

We partner with established business brands to run client campaigns across Singapore — face to face, with real decision-makers. You’ll be the person in the room, representing something that carries genuine weight.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Singapore’s business community runs on trust and conversation. The ability to walk into any room in this city — an SME in Toa Payoh, a regional HQ in the CBD — and genuinely connect with the person across the table is rarer than people think.

That’s the skill this role builds. And the longer you’re in it, the more second nature it becomes.

The goal isn’t just to build a client portfolio. It’s to build the kind of person who can eventually develop, lead, and grow the next wave doing this work. Campaign managers, team leads, directors — they all started where you’re starting. That’s not a coincidence. That’s the model.

THE STRUCTURE

• Day 1 ownership — in front of clients from the start, not watching from the back

• Mentors who’ve done this exact role — no theory, no PowerPoints, just real talk

• 5-day work week

• Path: Trainee → Team Lead → Assistant Manager → Director, tracked on merit

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Fresh graduates and career switchers who want to build something real in Singapore’s business landscape — not just occupy a role. Whatever your background, we care about where you want to go.

• You want to be part of something you’re genuinely proud of, not just employed by

• You take the work seriously even when it gets uncomfortable

• You see leadership as something you’re actively working towards — not a title you’re waiting on

The Role

You will research and experiment with what drives visibility in AI-powered search engines such as Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini. This is a hands-on research and engineering role — you will design experiments, build models, and see your work directly impact the product.

What you will do:

• Design and run experiments to identify and validate GEO ranking factors
• Develop and iterate on algorithms and scoring models
• Analyze large-scale data to extract actionable insights
• Work closely with the founding team to translate research into product features

What We’re Looking For

Must-have

• PhD (fresh graduate) or Master’s degree with 1 year of relevant experience
• Strong foundation in machine learning, NLP, or information retrieval
• Solid experimental mindset — able to design tests, analyze results, and draw conclusions
• Curious, fast learner, comfortable exploring territory without a map

Nice to have

• Familiarity with how LLMs process and retrieve information
• Experience with search, ranking, or recommendation systems
• Any prior exposure to SEO or content analytics

No prior GEO experience needed — we will learn together.
