- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple products, suppliers, and projects simultaneously.
- Basic understanding of product development, sourcing, manufacturing, or supply chain processes.

About Mutu Case
Mutu Case is a Malaysian phone accessory brand on a mission to become the everyday essential for the modern Malaysian.
Mutu Case started as a fast-moving brand with a simple goal: sell cases people love. We grew quickly, and we've now entered a new stage. We're investing in real structure, raising our standards, and sharpening our point of view about who we are and what we stand for.
It's an exciting stage. We're growing, restructuring, and laying the foundation for what's next. But we're not a big corporate machine. We're a lean, ambitious team that moves fast, cares deeply, and believes that good work comes from good people.
If you're looking for a place where your work actually matters, where you can shape the brand instead of just executing, and where you'll be surrounded by people who care about doing things well, Mutu might be the place for you.
We're building something worth remembering. Come build it with us.
