• Penultimate or recently completed a degree in Business, Environmental Studies, Social Sciences, Communications, or a related field. Current students may apply but penultimate or recent graduates are preferred as there is a possible full-time conversion. Phd/Master's students are welcome to apply as well.
• Strong interest in CSR, sustainability, and social impact.
• Proven record in develop & leading projects
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); familiarity with design or data tools is a plus.
• Creative, detail-oriented, and motivated to learn.

Behavioural fit is also important at Sleek, and we will be looking for candidates that have a proven track record of embodying the below attributes in their recent roles:

Ownership: This shows reliability and helps build trust within the team. We move fast and need to know that everyone will see things through to completion and proactively help to get things back on track when challenges arise. Accountability is really important to us.

Humility: There is so much we don’t know. Humility allows for open-mindedness to feedback and a willingness to learn from others. It paves the way for collaboration and creates a positive work environment. It is a key ingredient of self awareness and emotional intelligence.

Structured Thinking: Our business is complex with many layers (many services, many countries, many cultures). Regardless of whether you’re more analytical or creative in nature, being able to show sound judgement is important to us. It ensures solutions are pragmatic and balance the needs of the organisation, team and customers.

Data driven: We are a data rich business with ~15,000 small customers.  Each decision we make can impact many more people than we realise - so it’s critical that we use sound data to support our strategies and review the success of our initiatives.

Can have tough conversations in a positive way: It’s not a matter of if, but when difficult interpersonal situations arise.  Disagreement, conflict and disappointment are a given in a fast moving business where people care about their work.  People that proactively have tough conversations with kindness build empathy, trust and great working relationships.

Benefits

• Hands-on experience in CSR planning and implementation.
• Exposure to real-world corporate sustainability practices.
• Opportunity to contribute to meaningful community and environmental impact.
• Mentorship and career development support.
• Possibility of conversion to a full-time role.
