Description
Agorize is the leading platform for online innovation challenges with its HQ in France. We have an amazing 80 people team (Hong Kong, Paris, Montreal, Stuttgart, Singapore, Tokyo) all sharing the same ambition: becoming THE missing link between large corporations and innovators around the world!
For 8 years, we have been helping 250+ companies such as AWS, Uber, Google, Microsoft, Paypal, Valeo, Bank of America to accelerate their innovation process and collaborate with our network of 5M+ innovators (ie. students, developers, startups and employees) across the globe. After successfully helping thousands of talents from over 145 countries, with the same mission of becoming the “missing link”, we started our operations in Asia 2 years ago. Asia turned out to be our fastest growing market and we have already gotten a remarkable pool of best-in-class clients (Amazon Web Services, Electrolux, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Singapore Airlines, The HK Jockey Club, BNP Paribas Cardif, HK Science Park, Société Générale, OnePlus), who have put their trust in us to organize their first innovation challenges.
We are now building up our Hong-Kong team of talented, young & hungry individuals (of 12 nationalities!) to help Agorize become a key player in Asia! We are looking to hire a Project Management intern who can join our APAC PM team.
Your Mission & Job Responsibilities
We are looking for a skilled and driven project manager intern to accompany our clients on their open innovation journey throughout 3 main steps:
STEP 1: SETTING UP THE OPERATION
- Together with the PM, you will prepare the kick-off meeting with the client and define the framework of the open innovation challenge
- You will need to build the platform: don’t worry, you don’t need to have super-geeky skills, but it will be appreciated if you already have some basic HTML/CSS skills and/or if you want to learn!
- Coordinate with the different teams (communication, business developers, design, etc). As PM, you are THE missing link between the different departments.
STEP 2: LAUNCHING THE CHALLENGE
- You will need to follow-up with the participants throughout the entire operation
- Make sure everything is running smoothly and report to the client (frequent checkpoint meetings)
STEP 3: ORGANISING THE FINAL EVENT
- You will have to organise the entire final event from beginning to end: check on venues/catering providers, follow-up with participants’ attendance
- Post-challenge: follow-up with travel expenses invoices of all the participants + participate in the debriefing meeting.
The Ideal Profile
You are based in Hong Kong and are a fluent English speaker. You have a deep passion for innovation, and you would like to be part of our project to become THE go-between in Asia. You love difficult challenges and you are ready to take on this ONE!
- Organisation and Planning - You have a track record of planning successful projects and delivering under tight deadlines.
- Digital Marketing - You have experience with mass mailing tools such as MailChimp.
- IT skills - you don't need to code full-time, but it will save us both a lot of time if you already know how to do basic programming in HTML/CSS.
- Design - You do have basic editing skills (Ps, Ai, Id).
- Nerves of steel - Not only will you have to help with the logistics of our clients' projects and in hot phases juggle a long ToDo-list you will also have to hold their hands as they will probably be twice as nervous as you to create a great challenge.
