Additional Role information:
- Philippine Day shift ** (occasional flexibility will be necessary to meet the global demands of the role/company)
- Based in Metro Manila, Philippines *
- This is a new role
- Reporting to the Development Manager (based in the US)
- Responsible for 100 FTE’s
- There will be a minimum of 3 interviews in the recruitment process.
* The expectation is for staff to be on site 100% of the time, hence it is important that applicants are at ease with the prospect of spending time on site, and those with a preference for a virtual/work from home type arrangement will not be a suitable fit for this role.
** The Philippine support operation work on a standard Philippine day shift (Monday to Friday, 8am – 5pm). There are however occasional conference calls for staff to connect with US stakeholders, thus staff are expected to be flexible in this respect, though their hours/shifts are duly offset to take their flexibility into account.
Given the seniority of this role, the level of flexibility required by the successful candidate in relation to the hours/shift they need to work will be greater given the fact discussions with US based stakeholders will be on a more regular basis, certainly during the first 2 to 3 months in the role.
