Indonesia
Full Time
Manager/Supervisor
About the Company
Write Edge is a English enrichment centre specialising in writing and language programmes for Primary and Secondary students, with small class sizes and a structured curriculum designed to build strong English foundations.

About the Role
We’re on a mission to become the leading English & Writing specialist in the region, starting with scaling Write Edge Indonesia.

We’re looking for a General Manager (Indonesia) who is an operator: commercial, hands-on, structured, and obsessed with execution. You will own growth, operations, and profitability for Indonesia, while protecting a premium parent experience.


Responsibilities

A) Growth & Revenue (Commercial Ownership)

  • Own Indonesia growth targets (student numbers, revenue) with a weekly and monthly execution cadence
  • Improve funnel performance (lead quality, lead→trial booked, cost per trial, trial→enrol conversion)
  • Build growth channels beyond paid ads: partnerships, parent communities, referrals, schools/consultants
  • Execute workshops/seasonal campaigns as conversion levers into regular classes
 

B) Operations & Parent Experience (Premium Delivery)

  • Own parent experience end-to-end: response speed, clarity, follow-ups, issue resolution, retention
  • Build and maintain the operating system: tracking, SOPs, weekly reporting, and process hygiene (no dropped leads/issues)
  • Manage day-to-day coordination across enrolment ops, teachers, class scheduling, and trials
 

C) Team Leadership & Capacity Scaling

  • Hire, train, and manage local team members (enrolment ops, teachers, support roles)
  • Forecast capacity: class optimisation, teacher allocation, when to open/close classes
  • Maintain high teaching quality in partnership with the Senior Teacher / Academic Team
 

D) Business Management & Financial Discipline

  • Own Indonesia P&L: budgeting, cost control, pricing hygiene, and monthly forecasting
  • Manage vendor relationships (marketing agencies, tools, ops vendors)
  • Ensure compliance / admin hygiene across payments, invoicing, documentation, and data protection
 

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Education, or related field (Master’s is a bonus)
  • 5+ years experience in a leadership role with clear ownership of outcomes (growth/ops/P&L preferred)
  • Strong commercial instincts: can run conversion funnels, numbers, and execution rhythm
  • Experience in education/edtech/enrichment is a plus, but operator skill matters more than industry
  • Fluent in Bahasa Indonesia and strong working proficiency in English
  • Based in Jakarta (or able to be in Jakarta regularly)
Other Details
Location(s): Jakarta (Hybrid/Remote)
Commitment Period: Full-Time
Working Hours:
4 weekdays + 1 weekend: 9am - 6pm
