Mandarin Blueprint - Digital Marketing Manager

Hey there!

Here’s a quick video introduction to the role from us.

This is the team at Mandarin Blueprint. Before diving into the specifics of our job opportunity, let’s give you a bit of background about who we are and what we stand for.

At Mandarin Blueprint, we believe learning Chinese shouldn't be confusing. As Chinese learners ourselves, we know first-hand how overwhelming this language can be. Questions like “How do I master pronunciation?” “Should I learn characters? If so, how?” “How do I learn Chinese grammar?” “How do I improve my listening?” and “How can I have a smooth conversation in Mandarin?” can make you feel lost in the jungle without a map or compass.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

With our clear, step-by-step “do this then that” blueprint, the entire process becomes a game. The reward for winning? Genuine connections with Chinese people and the enjoyable consumption of a fascinating language.

When you play your way to fluency with The Blueprint, you’ll acquire the impressive skills of reading, writing, and speaking Chinese. Our approach provides clear guidance, making the learning process engaging and effective.

Ready to make an impact in the world of language learning? Join us at Mandarin Blueprint, where you can work alongside passionate professionals, contribute to meaningful projects, and take your career to new heights.
