About the role

Get Books is a book marketplace and publishing platform moving from its early MVP stage to a properly systemised company, with real vendors, libraries and institutions joining and a first franchise store opening. It needs someone to own the transition from manual, founder-run finance and admin processes to a systemised operation. The role is full-time and on-site in Islamabad.
