The ideal candidate is proactive, highly organized, and confident partnering across multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
How you will contribute
Build and maintain project plans by coordinating timelines, milestones, dependencies, and workback schedules across multiple workstreams
Run core project routines (kickoffs, stand-ups, working sessions, and steering updates) by preparing agendas, capturing decisions and minutes, and driving action-item follow-up
Own day-to-day project hygiene by maintaining charters, RAID logs, change and decision logs, status reports, and meeting notes in established formats
Track deliverables end-to-end, follow up with owners to ensure on-time completion, and proactively surface risks, issues, and dependencies for escalation
Produce clear weekly/monthly reporting and dashboards that summarize progress, upcoming milestones, key risks, decisions required, and next steps
Coordinate vendors and internal partners as needed (quotes, onboarding, access requests, scheduling, deliverable reviews) to keep work moving efficiently
Support basic budget administration (where applicable), including purchase order/request tracking and invoice coordination
Maintain shared project sites (e.g., SharePoint/Teams), ensuring artifacts are well-organized, current, and easy for stakeholders to access
Strengthen delivery consistency by improving templates, checklists, and reporting processes; suggest practical enhancements to team ways of working
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent practical experience)
2+ years of experience in project coordination, project administration, or operations support within a corporate environment
Strong prioritization and organization skills; able to manage multiple workstreams, shifting deadlines, and competing stakeholder needs
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable engaging with stakeholders at multiple levels with professionalism and clarity
Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and comfort working day-to-day in Teams and SharePoint
Hands-on experience maintaining project plans, status reports, and logs (RAID, action items, decisions)
High attention to detail with reliable follow-through and a strong sense of ownership
Some travel is required. When not traveling for a project, in-office attendance in Kuala Lumpur will be required (schedule to be determined)
Experience supporting workplace, facilities, technology, or business operations projects
Familiarity with project tools (e.g., Nuvolo Capital Projects, MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, Asana, Monday.com) and basic dashboarding/reporting
Exposure to procurement, purchase order processes, and vendor management
Project management training or certification (e.g., CAPM, PRINCE2 Foundation) is a plus
