The continued rise of Southeast Asia’s “digital decade”,
now projected to gross around $1 trillion across the region by 2030[1], has
increased the demand for tech talents who can drive the digital economy. Amidst
this growing digital landscape, Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in
Southeast Asia and Taiwan, continues to seek for the next generation of
industry leaders through the Global Leaders Program (GLP).
The Shopee Global Leaders Program is a 2-year graduate
program consisting of four 6-month local and overseas rotations. It is designed
for highly enthusiastic and ambitious young Filipino talents who have the
potential to boost the country’s e-commerce industry. Final-year students or
young professionals with up to two years of working experience can apply for
GLP and be part of a structured learning and development program. Participants
will also receive dedicated mentorship from Shopee leaders.
Martin Yu, Director
at Shopee Philippines, said, “Digital transformation
has been an ongoing focus in several key economic sectors. As a result, the
demand for tech talent has been on the rise in recent years. Shopee remains
committed to developing the next generation of talents in the Philippines
through immersive training and mentorship initiatives like the Global Leaders
Program. We will continue to come up with various programs that aim to
value-add to the Philippines’ digital economy.”
Now in its 4th year, the program continues to provide its
participants with eye-opening experiences and regional exposure
CJ, a GLP participant, shares why she chose Shopee to grow
her career in e-commerce. “Shopee has been taking big strides to enhance the
user experience and keep up with the recent changes in the retail market
industry. It’s evident that the company is constantly growing bigger, better,
and faster—and I want to be part of this growth.”
Among the many interesting components of the GLP, CJ says
what caught her attention the most was the regional experience and exposure it
offers. “Working with other teams from various countries is a great opportunity
to learn about different cultures and gain new perspectives and insights that
can help further the industry in our country.”
Currently working with Shopee’s Business Development team,
CJ’s exposure to different functions allowed her to grow, adapt and learn new
things every day. “I am constantly pushed and supported to become a better
version of myself every day. The projects that I handle allow me to develop
problem-solving, critical thinking, good leadership, and proper time management
skills. Seeing how e-commerce campaigns are brought to life, and how people
communicate and collaborate to achieve success regularly definitely inspire me
to keep growing and eventually contribute.”
CJ takes pride in being part of the GLP. “If you want to
become a future tech leader and be part of the growing digital economy in the
Philippines, the Global Leaders Program is the best way to jumpstart your
dream. You get the best training and development possible: close mentorship
from Senior Management, rotating stints in different markets, and you get to
drive crucial projects across the business. The program is truly for those who
are willing to push themselves every day to be better and keep growing. I am
grateful and humbled to be part of all this.”
