Chief of Staff

About Propseller

Propseller is the “Modern Real Estate Agency that Stands by You”. Our mission is to help our clients achieve the most when making one of the biggest financial decisions of their life: selling, buying, or renting real estate. We do that by offering them the state-of-the-art real estate agent service of the 21st century: highly valuable, completely transparent, and fairly priced. A service that will, hopefully, make them love real estate agents (again).

At Propseller, we are building the first technology-powered real estate brokerage in South-East Asia. We elevate the most human part of the service with top agents you can trust. Then, we industrialize all the rest with technology and centralized operations. By rethinking the way properties are transacted, keeping what works, and changing what doesn’t, we are able to deliver more while charging less. In Singapore, where we currently operate, that means we sell homes 2 times faster for only 1% commission (vs. 2% standard), saving people S$10,000 per transaction on average.

Role Description

Reporting directly to our Chief Executive Officer, the Chief of Staff (”CoS”) is a highly talented and committed individual helping the CEO to connect vision with execution by driving the operating mechanisms of the organisation.

Acting as a strategic partner and a trusted advisor, you are the most junior member of the executive team, one of the most connected individuals in the organisation, and the champion of transversality. You drive strategy and operating systems for the organisation. You own cross-functional and special projects. You run the office of the CEO, including internal communication, investors relations, and day-to-day operations.

With plans to grow our team from 50 to 250 over the next 24 months on the back of our Series A, this role is an amazing opportunity for an associate/mid-senior level high potential individual to be at the forefront of exponential growth alongside the executive team. Being Propseller Chief of Staff for 24 months is worth 10x more than any ivy league MBA.

Duties & Responsibilities

Drive Strategy & Operating System

**Strategic Planning**: Feed executive team with strategic insights, then review and coordinate annual/quarterly planning. With managers, align company-wide OKRs;
**Critical Path Activities**: prepare, facilitate and follow up on critical meetings and tasks such as executive team meetings, all hands meetings, or critical projects;
**Collaborative Execution Champion**: Design and execute operating mechanisms (meeting cadence, policies, GTD) to drive high output out of team-work.

Own Cross-Functional and Special Projects

Independently own cross-functional company projects;
Incubate new functions that don’t fall neatly into any existing teams;
Solve critical issues or crises as they arise.

Run CEO’s Office

**Internal Communication**: set direction and frequency of internal communications.

Draft written communication and oversee company-wide events (all hands, retreat);
**External Communication**: develop draft presentations and investor updates. Lead the preparation and facilitate quarterly board meetings;
**Leverage CEO’s Impact**:
Act as the sparring partner of the CEO;
Review documents on behalf of the CEO and prepare CEO’s key meetings;
Ensure follow-up happens on decisions made without the CEO having to check.

This is a role for you if you are a very high potential currently at an associate/mid-senior level in consulting, investment banking/VC, or a high-growth start-up. You are deeply passionate about cross-functional project management, high-level thinking, and on-the-ground execution. You are counted on as a thought leader in your current role because you can download a huge amount of information and synthesize a vision out of it into a plan that drives stakeholders’ engagement 360 degrees.

You are extremely organized and very good at getting things done, systematically. You are ready and not afraid to do everything: working on your own projects at 9 am, fixing a bug in the operating plan model at 10 am, picking up dry cleaning of your CEO at 11 am, and pitching a VC partner at noon. At this stage of your career at least, you are looking for accelerated learning but you are comfortable being in a role that has a huge impact yet almost no spotlight.

**Requirements**:
Bachelor's Degree from a top-tier university;
4 years of working experience in top-tier management consulting, investment banking, or VC or in the strategy or project management function of a technology company;
High analytical and problem-solving abilities;
