Do not see diversity as the strength of the team
Are not an Indonesian citizen

Even better, if you already know:

Know about operational processes within large NGOs, government institutions or corporates
Working environments of virtual teams distributed across different locations

We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners and our innovators building an economy together, around all stakeholders in a system. We are not the masters, we are the MUSE.

We have implemented projects across six continents for clients such as IKEA, Intel, NASA, Nike, USAID, New York City Economic Development Corporation, The World Bank, the US Department of State, The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
