Business Operations Manager and Executive Business Partner
Role Summary
Own the systems and the task list that keep a lean group moving.
We are seeking a Business Operations Manager who can also act as an Executive Business Partner: someone who owns systems, independently manages a busy task list, and produces high-quality knowledge work. This is a role for a self-starter who is comfortable turning ambiguity into structure and who wants ownership rather than instructions.
You will run the operational backbone of a lean group, from the CRM that underpins investor engagement to the project systems that keep workstreams moving. The engagement can be full-time or fractional, depending on fit.
Key Responsibilities
- Set up, manage, and maintain the CRM that underpins investor engagement, deal tracking, and business development.
- Own task and project management across Asana, Lark, and other systems, progressing what you can and bringing forward only what genuinely needs the Principal's attention.
- Draft, format, and refine proposals, investor-facing documents, and board-level correspondence.
- Build and improve the operational systems and standard processes that keep a lean group running smoothly.
- Coordinate with team members and external advisers to keep workstreams moving.
- Support meeting preparation, follow-up, and the reporting cadence that keeps investors and partners informed.
Requirements
- Strong track record in task and project management
- Demonstrated experience with CRM setup and management.
- Excellent written English, with the judgment to draft proposals and investor-facing documents that need little editing.
- Discretion and comfort handling confidential commercial and financial information.
- A structured, proactive working style and the confidence to run with things independently.
- Singapore work rights are essential, including the right to work independently. Employment Pass sponsorship is not available.
Desirable Criteria
- Experience on the Lark software platform is an advantage.
- Exposure to energy, infrastructure, mining, or private equity is an advantage.
- Familiarity with the Indonesian or wider Southeast Asian business environment is an advantage.
- Experience supporting a founder, principal, or senior investor is an advantage.
- Mandarin or Indonesian language skills are an advantage.
