Job description

Rekruyt is a recruitment and talent advisory firm based in Malaysia, focused on mid-senior and leadership hiring across Southeast Asia. Founded by experienced recruiters with both in-house and agency backgrounds, we work closely with clients across industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, corporate finance, consumer goods and technology. Our approach is personal, precise, and partnership-driven. As a small, dynamic team, every member plays a meaningful role in shaping how the firm runs, grows, and delivers its services.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Business Support Associate.

This is an excellent entry opportunity for someone who wants real exposure to how a professional services firm operates, from administration support and operational upkeep.

The role is ideal for individuals who are curious about consulting or a client‑advisory environment. You don’t need prior experience; what matters most is initiative, good judgement, and curiosity about how a business runs. This role offers a clear career pathway: as you gain experience, you’ll have opportunities to rotate and move into commercial‑facing roles such as client support, consulting or business development.

What you'll be doing

Operational & Administrative Support

• Handle day‑to‑day administrative tasks to ensure smooth office and business operations
• Assist with basic accounting tasks (invoices, expense tracking, filing)
• Maintain digital systems, documents

Business Coordination

• Support consultants with scheduling, preparation of documents, and follow‑up tasks
• Help improve workflows, and keep projects moving
• Prepare simple reports and summaries, guided by the team

Research & Information Management

• Conduct light research (e.g., market info, company background, industry updates) when needed
• Organise findings into clear, concise formats

Quality & Professional Standards

• Delivery is accurate, polished work
• Communicate with clarity and professionalism

Growth & Learning

• Participate in discussions around business strategy and operations
• Be open to learning how a professional advisory business functions end‑to‑end

Who We’re Looking For

• Fresh graduates, students, or career changers welcome. We’re open to a range of backgrounds and experience levels.
• 0‑3 years of work experience.
• Degree holders from any field.
• Able to handle simple numbers, documents and coordination tasks.
• Excel skills, minimum you should know how to use basic formulas (i.e. SUM, VLOOKUP, etc.).
• Keen to learn business systems and tools such as Xero, Squarespace, or other administrative/marketing software.
• We are looking for people with good judgement and structured thinking.
• A high level of professionalism and respect for confidentiality is essential. Promise you, it’s for the nature of the role/work itself. We’re not hiding anything about the company ;).

Why Join Us

• Broad exposure across real business operations (operations, admin, finance)
• Potential to move into client‑facing or commercial roles (if you want to).
• Friendly and supportive environment. Small team environment, steep learning curve, and hands‑on mentorship.

Work Arrangement

• Office is directly connected to an MRT station
• Option for Hybrid or Reduced Working Arrangement (3 or 4 days week can be discussed)
• Monthly salary / allowance depending on commitment hours and experience.
• Performance‑based increments and bonus structure as responsibilities grow.

If you have a unique circumstance and don’t fully meet the stated criteria but still believe you’d be a great fit, we’d still love to hear from you. Please include a short note or explanation in your cover letter when submitting your application, we personally review every submission and will give it thoughtful consideration.

Application Closing Date: 28 Dec 2025 at 11.59pm Malaysia time, though we may wrap it up earlier if the right person comes along.

Rekruyt is a legally registered and fully licensed recruitment agency under the Malaysian Ministry of Human Resources (JTK License No 1653), ensuring our work meets strict professional and regulatory standards.
