Operations Associate
This is a close-proximity, high-trust role supporting the Senior Management of a dynamic Web3 and AI. You will be in the room where things happen, and expected to keep everything you see and hear strictly to yourself.
If you are sharp, self-driven, relentlessly detail-oriented, and hungry to learn some of the most exciting industries in the world, this role will accelerate your growth faster than almost anything else available to an early-career professional.
What You Will Do
• Be responsible for carrying out general day-by-day administrative office tasks
• Handle ad hoc tasks as they arise — about 40% of this role is responding to fast-moving priorities and turning them around quickly and well.
• Support the Senior Management across a portfolio of businesses — handling tasks ranging from strategic follow-ups to day-to-day operational matters with equal care and precision.
• Own project execution end-to-end: managing operational systems, tracking expenses and receipts, coordinating deliverables, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks — big or small.
• Leverage AI tools proactively and creatively to automate workflows, improve efficiency, and stay ahead of the curve — self-discovering and self-learning new tools as needed.
Who You Are
• Obsessively detail-oriented — you notice what others miss and follow through without being chased.
• Smart enough to understand the ultimate goal behind any task, not just the instructions given.
• Proactive: you surface problems before they become issues and communicate progress without being asked.
• A fast and self-directed learner — you thrive without hand-holding and get yourself up to speed quickly in unfamiliar territory.
• Discreet and trustworthy to the core. You keep information strictly confidential at all times — from everyone, including senior management and colleagues. No exceptions.
• Emotionally resilient and composed. You can deflect probing questions gracefully and hold your position under pressure without causing friction.
• Bilingual in English and Putonghua to a professional conversational standard.
• Comfortable with irregular hours, on-call availability, and occasional travel.
Background
• Fresh graduate or up to 2 years of relevant experience — what matters most is your mindset, not your CV.
• Exposure to or genuine curiosity about Web3, crypto, blockchain, AI, or FinTech is a strong plus.
• No specific technical tool requirements — but a natural affinity for technology and AI is expected.
What You Will Get
• Direct access to and personal coaching from the Senior Management of serial entrepreneurs — a rare opportunity at this career stage.
• Deep, hands-on exposure to multiple businesses in Web3 and AI.
• A front-row seat to how a multi-business SME is run at the board level.
