Potential difficulties in work:

The startup format is quite specific, only a specialist with a certain set of hard and soft skills is able to manage processes in turbulence mode and at the stage of creating and establishing processes.

One of the specific points is also the ability to manage local personnel, to understand how they think and what motivates them. It is also important to understand the "pitfalls" and double standards that usually exist in the legislation and commercial activities of Asian countries.

Competencies:

Strategic

• Entrepreneurial thinking - sees opportunities, quickly tests hypotheses.

• Focus on results - focuses on KPI, not on the process.

• Financial literacy - manages P&L, optimizes costs.

Operational

• Launching processes from scratch - builds an operating model for a branch.

• Prioritization - separates the main from the secondary.

• Contractor management - controls rent, supplies, contracts.

Team

• Team building — hires, trains, retains.

• Leadership in uncertainty — leads a team with a lack of resources.

• Mentoring — trains and develops employees in practice.

Communication

• Representation — presents the company to external partners.

• Negotiations — negotiates in tough and non-standard conditions.

• Interaction with HQ — coordinates actions with the central office.

Personal

• Self-motivation — works autonomously, without external pressure.

• Fast learning — quickly grasps and applies new things.

Interview funnel:
