Job description

Some roles are built around giving advice. This one is built around making sure the work gets done.

We're looking for a Chief of Staff who can help its COO turn company priorities into action across the organization.

This is not an executive assistant role, and it is not limited to preparing presentations or taking meeting notes. We need a senior operator who can bring structure to ambiguity, keep teams aligned, unblock problems, and make sure important commitments do not quietly lose momentum.

You may already be a Chief of Staff. You may also be a COO, General Manager, VP of Operations, Business Operations leader, or Transformation leader who has spent years making complex organizations work better.

What you’ll own

• Turn the COO’s priorities into clear plans, owners, timelines, and deliverables.
• Drive cross-functional initiatives from initial direction through execution and closure.
• Run the COO’s operating rhythm, including weekly priorities, leadership meetings, decisions, and follow-through.
• Identify where work is getting stuck, bring the right people together, and move issues toward resolution.
• Maintain visibility across critical company priorities and elevate risks before they become bigger problems.
• Work closely with the CEO, SVPs, VPs, and functional leaders to keep information and decisions moving.
• Represent the COO in selected meetings and discussions when needed.
• Lead high-priority projects that may not sit neatly within one department.
• Prepare clear leadership updates and internal communications.
• Manage analysts, coordinators, or project resources as the role evolves.

What we’re looking for

• At least 8 years of experience operating at a senior level in a fast-moving or operations-heavy organization.
• Experience working closely with executive leadership and influencing senior stakeholders across functions.
• A track record of turning broad direction into structured, measurable execution.
• Strong judgment and the confidence to challenge, clarify, and elevate when necessary.
• The ability to move between strategy and detail without losing sight of either.
• Clear and concise written and verbal communication.
• Experience in proptech, fintech, technology platforms, marketplaces, or another high-growth operating environment is an advantage.

Previous Chief of Staff experience is welcome, but it is not required. We care more about whether you have genuinely owned outcomes across teams.

This is an opportunity to help solve one of the Philippines’ most urgent needs: making affordable homeownership possible for more Filipino families.

You will work at the center of a mission-driven proptech company focused on making homeownership more accessible. The role offers broad exposure across the business and a real opportunity to influence how the organization executes and grows.The scope is broad, the expectations are high, and your work will have a visible impact on how the organization executes and grows.

This role is based in Ortigas, Mandaluyong. It is full-time, fully onsite, and follows Philippine business hours.

If your instinct when faced with ambiguity is to create structure, establish ownership, and get things moving, we’d like to hear from you.
