Growth.sg – Digital Implementation Specialist, Web & Tech Platforms (Internship)

About The Role

In this role, you will be entrusted with determining website infrastructures, UI/UX, and design elements that implicate the digitalization of SMEs in our economy. If you believe in playing your part in our nation’s digital push, and are either highly technical or have a flair for advocating tech, this role is for you.

While a major part of the role is to conceptualise and build websites, you will also get exposure to the business side of consulting, advertising, databases, legacy migrations, and any peripheral functions that naturally come along with the job, given our highly collaborative nature. Obviously, you also do not need to major in computer science, but you should be equal parts logical and creative, and also have a keen learning mind.

In any case, work very hard. Be very hungry. Be famished.

Skills aside, the non-negotiable lies in who you essentially are:

• You possess a strong, life-defining unwillingness to remain an ordinary person. You are unfazed amidst a fast-moving and unforgiving business climate.

• You are highly resourceful, learn fast and in a nonlinear way, and you make magic out of thin air, even if it’s due in full to your sheer resilience. You prioritise executing over planning, and have a high bias for action.

• You are an ‘over-communicator’ – you always make yourself 120% clear and use concise, unambiguous communication methods (especially important in remote work).

• You help teammates achieve success, whether that be lending support, putting them on your shoulders, or otherwise.

• You treat yourself with the most unreasonable standards at work, do not compromise the quality of output, and take an extreme amount of pride in your work. Some will call you OCD. We call you one of us.
