Job description

We're an ambitious startup revolutionising how spaces are designed, managed, and experienced — from intelligent offices and residences to multi-use developments. We're seeking a highly organised and self-driven individual to support our C-suite officer(s), run day-to-day operations, and assist with strategic business development across Southeast Asia.

This hybrid role is ideal for someone eager to work at the intersection of real estate, tech, and innovation — and who doesn’t mind juggling calendars one moment and market research the next.

Key Responsibilities

1. Manage both professional and personal schedules, meetings, and travel
2. Coordinate investor calls, site visits, and internal leadership check-ins
3. Handle personal logistics (e.g., events, household appointments, travel bookings)
4. Draft emails, meeting notes, and maintain confidentiality on sensitive matters
5. Assist in business development and market expansion efforts, including identifying partners, landlords, or projects across SEA markets
6. Research commercial property trends, regional space demand, and competitor offerings
7. Prepare pitch decks, proposals, and regional overview documents
8. Support the Officer on outreach, pipeline tracking, and relationship management

Requirements

• 5-7 years experience in executive support, office/admin ops, or BD coordination
• Familiarity with property, hospitality services, or operations-heavy sectors is a plus
• Strong communication skills in English and Chinese
• Well-organized, proactive, and comfortable switching between tasks
• Competent in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office; experience with project management tools (e.g., Notion, Trello, Asana) is a plus
• Integrity, discretion, and good business etiquette when representing leadership

Preferred / Bonus Skills

• Experience with partner development in real estate, hospitality, and/or tech
• Understanding of commercial leasing, facilities, or tenant management systems
• Multilingual skills, especially in SEA languages such as Thai, Vietnamese, or Bahasa Indonesia
• Experience working directly with founders or senior leadership in a startup environment

What We Offer

• Role growth opportunities: evolve into Chief of Staff, Expansion Lead, or Ops Manager
• Access to real estate industry events, regional travel opportunities, and proptech exposure
• High-impact, founder-level collaboration and decision-making
• Competitive salary plus performance-based bonus
• Flexible and smart office setup (partial remote)
