The ideal candidate is proactive, highly organized, and confident partnering across multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
How You Will Contribute

- 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
