About the job
Join us as a CEO Office Associate in our Operations Management Trainee program, an exciting early-career opportunity within a pioneering investment bio fund. This role is tailored for driven individuals eager to thrive in an entrepreneurial setting, showcasing exceptional operational excellence.
Please Note:
This position is not designed as a personal assistant role. It does not focus solely on finance, investment, or strategy. Ideal candidates are those who prioritize actions over appearances and are ready to tackle high-responsibility tasks in a mission-driven organization dedicated to frontier science and long-term innovation.
Your work will involve navigating real-world challenges that may appear messy or unglamorous—this is by design. If you find motivation in ownership, precise execution, and learning through tangible experiences, we encourage you to apply. Conversely, if you seek prestige, structured guidelines, or neatly defined roles, this may not be the right fit for you.
About Us:
At fuku, headquartered in Singapore, we are committed to advancing long-term initiatives in complex fields such as advanced biology and biotechnology. Our projects often deal with scientifically intricate subjects, have uncertain short-term commercial outcomes, and are frequently overlooked by mainstream investors. Success in these areas demands patience, rigorous execution, and innovative thinking. Our focus encompasses operations, research support, infrastructure development, and ecosystem-building—moving beyond mere ideas or analysis.
The Role:
This position takes the form of a management trainee, emphasizing operational support and execution. You will collaborate closely with our core team to ensure timely and accountable completion of tasks.
While personal assistant duties are not the focus, you should be prepared for essential operational tasks that may be considered 'dirty work.' We seek individuals who are early in their careers or at a pivotal moment, actively seeking significant responsibility and growth. This role is designed to evolve into a leadership position after demonstrating consistent, hands-on execution.
Key Responsibilities:
• Take ownership of end-to-end execution tasks, including office setup, vendor coordination, construction oversight, logistics, documentation, and compliance.
• Translate ambiguous objectives into actionable steps with clear timelines, budgets, and risk assessments.
• Engage with external partners (contractors, service providers, institutions) to ensure follow-through.
• Rapidly research unfamiliar topics, especially within scientific or technical domains, and prepare objective decision-making materials.
• Manage numerous small yet crucial tasks with precision and diligence.
• Serve as a dependable extension of the executive team.
