Business Associate

 

Description:

This is a generalist seat at the centre of a small senior team. You'll work directly with the CEO, alongside marketing, finance and HR - moving fluidly between research, document preparation/presentations, investor coordination, logistics, and on-the-ground project support.

 

No two weeks will look the same. You might draft an investor memo on Monday, coordinate a video shoot on Tuesday, chase a government counterpart on Wednesday, and pull together a competitor research brief on Thursday. You'll be the connective tissue across functions, and the person's leadership turns to when something needs to get done well, fast, and without hand-holding.

It is a high-trust, high-exposure role. If you learn fastest by being put in the room with capable people and trusted to figure it out, this is built for you.

 

What you'll do

  • Draft, edit, and prepare investor-facing and stakeholder materials - decks, memos, briefing documents, follow-up correspondence
  • Coordinate logistics for shoots, site visits, signing ceremonies, and stakeholder events
  • Conduct primary and desk research across hospitality benchmarks, market trends, regulatory matters, and competitive landscape
  • Manage outbound communication with investors, partners, vendors, and government counterparts on behalf of leadership
  • Prepare presentations and reports to a high standard of polish
  • Track action items, deadlines, and deliverables across the team; chase what needs chasing
  • Support marketing campaign rollouts - asset coordination, vendor liaison, content scheduling
  • Take on whatever the moment demands. This role rewards range over specialisation.

 

Who you are

  • Recent graduate, or one to two years out, from a strong undergraduate programme - business, economics, communications, social sciences, or related fields
  • Some real work experience under your belt: an internship, a startup stint, a fellowship, meaningful freelance work - something that proves you've operated in a live environment
  • Excellent written English. You can draft a clean investor email, structure a deck, and write something a senior stakeholder will read without wincing
  • Proactive by default - you find work, you don't wait to be handed it
  • High emotional intelligence. You'll be liaising with senior figures across government, business, and creative worlds
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and tight turnarounds
  • Strong fluency in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, AI tools; bonus points for Canva, basic Figma, Notion, or anything design-adjacent
  • A genuine interest in hospitality, conservation, design, or built environments is a plus - not a requirement
