We're looking for a Business Development & Events Associate to support a Singapore-based founder across two areas: in-person events and training programmes, and the commercial pipeline that feeds them.
Some days you'll be setting up a workshop space, managing participant check-ins, and keeping the room running smoothly. Other days you'll be following up with warm leads, qualifying inbound enquiries, or helping move a prospect from interested to booked. The common thread is that you're the person who makes things happen — on the ground and behind the scenes.
If you thrive in fast-moving, varied environments and find equal satisfaction in a perfectly executed event and a well-timed follow-up email, this was written for you.
What You'll Do
Events & Training Support
- Set up and break down event spaces across Singapore venues — room layout, materials, AV, registration
- Manage participant welcome and on-the-day logistics so the facilitator can stay fully present
- Support workshops in real time: managing slides and timing, distributing materials, tracking breakout activities
- Capture photos, notes, and short content clips for post-event documentation and social media
- Coordinate with venue contacts and suppliers as needed
Business Development & Pipeline Support
- Follow up with warm leads and event attendees to convert interest into bookings or discovery calls
- Manage inbound enquiries for training programmes and advisory services — qualify, respond, and route appropriately
- Maintain a clean, up-to-date contact list and track where prospects are in the funnel
- Support outreach for upcoming events: invitations, reminders, re-engagement of past participants
- Assist with proposals, programme information packs, and follow-up materials
- Identify opportunities to deepen relationships with existing contacts and corporate clients
General Coordination
- Manage scheduling and calendar coordination for events, client calls, and coaching sessions
- Liaise with participants before events: confirmations, logistics briefings, pre-work distribution
- Handle post-event follow-up: surveys, materials dispatch, feedback collation
- Provide ad-hoc personal assistant support to the founder as needed
Who You Are
- Based in Singapore, available for events across the island (weekday and occasional weekend)
- A natural connector — you're comfortable calling, messaging, and following up without being pushy
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail; you manage multiple moving pieces without dropping any
- Commercially aware — you understand what moves a conversation forward and what stalls it
- Discreet and professional; many of our clients are senior leaders and confidentiality matters
- Comfortable with ambiguity and changing plans; you adapt without drama
- Tech-comfortable: Google Workspace, WhatsApp Business, and basic CRM or tracker tools
Nice to Have
- Prior experience in business development, sales support, events, or EA/PA roles
- Familiarity with tools like Notion, Canva, or a CRM (GoHighLevel, HubSpot, or similar)
- Interest in HR, leadership development, or the professional coaching and consulting space
- Experience supporting senior executives or founders in a fast-moving environment
What We Offer
- Flexible engagement — a mix of event-based and ongoing BD support hours
- Direct access to and close working relationship with the founder
- Exposure to high-quality leadership and professional development content
- Competitive rates commensurate with experience
- The opportunity to grow into a more senior role as the business scales
About Us
We're a Singapore-based portfolio of ventures in HR, leadership, and professional development. Our work spans executive search, fractional HR, training programmes, and content — all built around a simple philosophy: less corporate, more human.
You'll be working closely with the founder — a seasoned HR executive, facilitator, and consultant with 20+ years across APAC — across a growing events and client calendar.
