About Manabie

Manabie is reimagining after-school learning across Southeast Asia. With teaching centers as our primary model, we partner with center owners to deliver high-quality, compliant, and scalable learning. Our mission is to build a sustainable education ecosystem where teachers thrive, parents trust, and students succeed.

The Role:

We are seeking a Head of Ecosystem & Strategic Partnerships to position Manabie as the most trusted and future-ready education partner in Vietnam. This role is focused on public affairs, ecosystem alliances, and pedagogy IP acquisition — building the conditions and differentiation that allow our commercial team to scale.

  • Identify, negotiate, and secure pedagogy IP partnerships (e.g., Singapore Math, Jolly Phonics, STEM curricula) that strengthen Manabie’s product and justify premium pricing.
  • Represent Manabie at industry forums, conferences, and working groups to elevate brand perception.
  • Provide intelligence on regulatory changes, education reforms, and tax enforcement trends that impact center owners.
