We are now entering the next phase of growth and are looking for a General Manager to work directly with the founder and help run and grow the company.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving systems, managing teams, and growing a small international business.

The General Manager will work closely with the founder and gradually take ownership of the company's daily management and growth.

You will oversee internal operations, coordinate the team, and help drive revenue growth through improvements in marketing, sales, and partnerships.

You will be supported by an internal Head of Operations and a Tutors Lead, allowing you to focus on both management and business growth.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building and improving businesses in a startup environment.
