Operations Intern (STEAM Education)

About EJ Explorer Junior is a Singapore-based STEAM education company on a mission to nurture lifelong explorers. We design hands-on programmes where children learn by building, experimenting, and solving real-world problems through science, technology, sustainability, and creative thinking. We are a small, mission-driven team that cares deeply about the work we do. Our team members enjoy figuring things out, improving systems, and creating meaningful learning experiences for children. We believe great programmes happen when thoughtful people work together behind the scenes — planning carefully, solving problems, and constantly refining how things run. Explorer Junior is a good fit for people who are curious, proactive, and enjoy making things work better. If you like organising messy systems, spotting inefficiencies, and contributing to work that has real impact on children and communities, you will likely feel at home here.
