Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice is a well-known Singaporean food brand founded in 1986 at Maxwell Food Centre. From its humble beginnings as a hawker stall, the brand has grown into a multi-outlet F&B business with outlets across Singapore, including Jewel Changi Airport.

Role Overview

Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will provide support across business operations, administration, project coordination and selected Personal Assistant (PA) duties.

This is a broad-based, hands-on role that gives you the opportunity to work closely with the General Manager and gain practical exposure to different areas of a growing F&B business. You will be involved in day-to-day business operations, administration, project follow-up, problem-solving and coordination with different teams and external parties.

The role suits someone who is organised, responsible, practical and able to think logically. You should be comfortable following up on matters, identifying problems, understanding what went wrong, and working with the relevant people to resolve them.

You are not expected to know everything from day one. What is important is your willingness to learn, ask questions, take ownership and follow through on the work assigned to you.

• Can distinguish between an urgent matter and a matter that can wait.
• Is comfortable asking questions when something is unclear.
