  • Comfortable managing multiple clients and multiple moving parts
  • Process-driven, structured, and proactive
  • Hands-on but senior enough to think independently
  • Someone who thrives in early-stage environments where not everything is defined
  • Curious, ambitious, and excited to build a new recruitment model in the region
  • Someone who sees the founder as an innovator and wants to grow alongside the company
  • Bonus
