Job description

This is an early career career management track role similar to a management trainee position with a frontier investment bio fund that requires interest and capabilities to work in a highly entrepreneurial environment, with top‑notch operational excellence.

Please Read This Carefully

This is not a personal assistant role.

This is not a finance, investment, or strategy‑only role.

This is not a role for people seeking polish over substance.

This is a high‑responsibility, execution‑heavy role at an early‑stage, mission‑driven organization operating in frontier science and long‑horizon innovation.About the Organization

Our client is aimmons- "purpose‑driven organization headquartered in Singapore, focused on supporting long‑term, frontier initiatives in areas such as advanced biology, biotechnology, and related infrastructure.

• Are scientifically complex
• Have unclear short‑term commercial outcomes
• Are overlooked by mainstream capital
• Require patience, rigor, and real execution

Our work spans operations, research support, coordination, infrastructure setup, and ecosystem‑building, not just ideas or analysis.

The Role

This is an early founder's office / CEO office associate / management trainee type of role, with heavy emphasis on operational support and execution.

You will work closely with the core team to ensure that things actually get done — correctly, on time, and with accountability.

Personal assistant–type tasks are not the focus of this role. However, company‑level “dirty work” is unavoidable and expected.

This role is designed for someone who is:

• early in their career, or
• at a first inflection point, and
• intentionally seeking steep responsibility and long‑term growth.

Long term, this role is intended to grow into a leadership position, but only after sustained hands‑on execution.

What You Will Do

This is not a theoretical role. Examples of work include:

• Owning real‑world execution tasks end‑to‑end (e.g., office setup, vendor coordination, construction or renovation execution, logistics, documentation, compliance).
• Turning vague objectives into clear steps, timelines, budgets, and risk assessments.
• Working with external parties (contractors, service providers, institutions) and ensuring follow‑through.
• Researching unfamiliar topics quickly and factually, especially in scientific or technical domains.
• Preparing materials and decisions grounded in objective information, not speculation or buzzwords.
• Handling many small but critical tasks with consistency and care.
• Acting as a reliable extension of the core team — not waiting to be told what to do.

In short: You are the person who ensures things move from "should happen" to "actually presidency done".

Non‑Negotiable Traits

1. Ownership & Reliability
   • You take responsibility seriously.
   • You follow things through.
   • You respond and act when needed, including across time zones.
   >
2. Comfort With Ground Work
   • You are not allergic to repetitive, operational, or manual tasks.
   • You do not see such work as beneath you.
   • You understand that real competence is built through execution.
3. Intellectual Rigor
   • You value accuracy, evidence, and clarity.
   • You avoid overconfidence and hand‑wavings.
   • You are comfortable saying "I don't know" — and then figuring it out.
4. Learning Speed & Judgment
   • You can self‑learn unfamiliar domains quickly.
   • You can distinguish reliable information from noise.
   • You use AI tools intelligently — without outsourcing thinking or responsibility supposed.
5. Language Ability
   • Professional fluency in English and Mandarin Chinese for research and operational work.
   • Able to communicate clearly and precisely in both.
   • Comfortable evaluating English technical or scientific content.

Backgrounds That Tend to Fit Well (Not Requirements)

We do not require finance or investment backgrounds. We tend to value:

• Science, engineering, medicine, law, or other rigorous academic training.
• Research, lab, manufacturing, or hands‑on operational exposure.
• Early‑stage startup or execution‑heavy environments.
• Individuals 1–3 years into their career reassessing their trajectory.
• Recent Master’s or PhD graduates seeking real‑world calma responsibility.

Weadax are generally less excited by:

• Purely finance‑or‑presentation‑oriented roles.
• Profiles optimized mainly for soft skills without hard execution.
• Candidates avoiding operational responsibility.

Practical Details

• Location: Singapore
• Travel: occasional
• Working hours: flexible, but expect intensity
• AI tools: encouraged, judgment required
• Driving license: a plus
