About the Role

We are hiring an Executive, Office of the CEO – China to support A1’s early market entry and local setup.

You will work closely with the CEO to ensure key priorities move forward — from preparing materials and coordinating meetings, to supporting hiring, partnerships, and office setup.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role with growing ownership. We are looking for someone who is organised, reliable, and able to operate effectively across a wide range of business and operational tasks.

What You Will Be Doing

• Coordinate and drive execution of key initiatives across office setup, hiring, partnerships, and operations

• Prepare meeting materials, summaries, presentations, and briefing notes for internal discussions, investor conversations, and external meetings

• Support early hiring efforts by working with recruiters, agencies, and hiring partners

• Coordinate interviews, meeting schedules, and follow-ups with internal teams and external stakeholders

• Manage communications with vendors, recruiters, and service providers involved in China setup

• Act as a central coordination point across teams to ensure priorities and follow-ups are executed

• Handle urgent tasks, ad-hoc requests, and last-minute changes with speed and sound judgment

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in operations, executive support, consulting, startups, or business coordination

• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in an unstructured environment

• Comfortable working closely with senior leadership and handling sensitive information

• Clear communication skills and confidence engaging external stakeholders

• Hands-on mindset with strong ownership — able to figure things out without a defined playbook

• High reliability and strong follow-through

• Familiarity with the China business environment (vendors, hiring ecosystem, admin processes) is a plus

(Background is flexible. We care most about execution ability, judgment, and willingness to build from zero.)
