I work with multiple teams across projects involving internal and external stakeholders, such as developing and executing marketing campaigns to target advertisers and clients, as well as management of team matters to ensure operational efficiency and effectiveness.

How I Got My Job

I graduated from SMU in 2020 at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was really difficult to find a job during that time as it was one filled with uncertainty and fear. Many companies froze their hiring and even retracted offers. I applied for a large number of jobs and was fortunate to get my dream role at TikTok. As a fresh graduate in my team, my eagerness to learn, openness to feedback, and interest for the product helped me get my role.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

I love working for a company that is shaping culture and changing the world. Being able to work with many like-minded, motivated and brilliant people is what keeps me motivated at work each day.

However, it can also be very challenging working in such a fast-moving environment. Ensuring that I stay adaptable and open to change is what has helped me excel in my role so far.

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

There are too many happy moments to choose from! From pioneering and creating new processes for the team to improve their Business as Usual (BAU) activities, to leading and executing my first ever physical event for over 200 leaders across APAC, the great thing about TikTok is the trust that they put in everyone to lead new projects!

Some Advice

Never doubt your capabilities, but always remember to stay humble and open minded. Also, do not be afraid to take risks and pursue your passions!

BUSINESS FACTS

Join a global tech company with a big mission, and a startup heart. We’re over 4,500 people, from 110 nationalities, working in 17 countries around the world.

Our mission: money without borders

In the words of our founder, “people don’t join a company. They join a mission.” And ours is big.

Current banking systems don’t let us send, spend or receive money across borders easily. Or quickly. Or cheaply.

So we’re building a new one.

Our mission is to make money without borders the new normal. For everyone. Getting there isn’t easy and we haven’t figured it all out yet. But together, we can do it.

Why join Wise?

We like to think we’re the perfect mix of big and small. Big enough to solve problems for millions of customers, but small and nimble enough to be growing at the speed of light. Big enough to flip an industry on its head, but still small enough to have a long way to go.
