Job description
[This role is for Reactor School, one of the portfolio companies under Reapra.] Reactor School (www.reactor.school) designs Entrepreneurship Education (EntreEd) programmes for students and young founders under-30. We work with high schools and universities to help educators implement EntreEd on campus. We help students turn their ideas into projects, and their projects into companies. We believe that the world’s biggest problem is that there are not enough young people solving the world’s biggest problems. Our mission is to Cultivate the Galaxy’s Best Young Founders.
Reactor currently works with 300+ high schools and universities across the Asia-Pacific region. We partner with angel networks and early-stage VCs to invest in the student-led startups that graduate from our programmes, with an average ticket size of SGD $100k per student startup team.
- At least 3-5 years of relevant experience working with student-led and/or youth startups.
- Proven experience as a programme coordinator, entrepreneurship trainer, incubation manager or relevant experience.
- Have deep connections in the tech and startup ecosystem.
- Be conscientious, detail-oriented and efficient.
- Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, including in the preparation of slide decks and proposals.
- Excellent time-management and organizing skills. Comfortable managing multiple projects concurrently, including projects across different cities and timezones.
- Able to work as a digital nomad, and have prior experience working with an international and multi-cultural team.
- Grades, academics and class of honours aren’t important to us. But your portfolio of past projects is.
