About The Role
GEDU is seeking a highly organized, ambitious, commercially aware, and proactive professional to join the International Student Recruitment Leadership Office as an Office Manager.
This is not a traditional office administration role. The successful candidate will work directly with the Senior Director and closely support a global student recruitment organization of over 120 professionals across multiple international markets.
The role offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to leadership decision-making, commercial operations, global recruitment strategy, business planning, project management, stakeholder engagement, and organizational performance. We are looking for someone who is eager to learn, capable of managing multiple priorities, and motivated to build a long-term career within a fast-growing international organization.
The successful candidate will become a trusted member of the leadership office, ensuring priorities are executed, projects progress effectively, communication flows efficiently, and the wider team remains aligned with business objectives.
