Business & Operations Officer (Founder's Office) -

Roles & Responsibilities

About Us

We are a newly established, founder-led business management company overseeing and supporting portfolio(s) of related companies. Our work spans operations, partnerships, and strategic initiatives, sometimes involving financial and investment aspects, but always with a hands-on, solutions-driven approach.

As a lean and agile team, we're in the exciting phase of shaping our foundations, from our workspaces to our ways of working. We believe the future of work is people-first, building companies where relationships, culture, and collaboration are as important as strategy and execution. Every role here is high-trust, high-impact, and directly involved in how we grow.

The Role

This is a rare opportunity to work directly with the founder, gaining breadth of exposure across industries and business functions. You'll be the point of coordination to keep things running, sometimes doing the work yourself and other times coordinating with trusted vendors or partners.

We don't expect you to be an expert in everything from day one. Instead, you'll have the chance to learn and oversee areas like operations, HR, finance, IT, and facilities, building a unique skill set that few roles can offer. Some travel may be required, depending on the projects at hand.

• Internet- and tech-savvy, quick to pick up new tools.
• Familiar with productivity tools such as MS Office, OneDrive/SharePoint, Canva, Figma, or similar collaboration platforms.
• Prior internship or work experience in business development, strategy, or operations will be an advantage.
• A formal education in Business, Management, or related fields will also be an advantage but is not a requirement.
• We welcome both fresh graduates and experienced professionals. Attitude, adaptability, and a willingness to learn matter most.
• Possessing a valid driver's license is a plus, but not required.

Why Join Us?

• Learn from the top: Work directly with the founder, seeing first-hand how decisions are made and companies are built.
