CEO Office Associate

About Teja Ventures

Teja Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on the next wave of consumption across emerging Asia. Its investment areas include health, food, sustainability, productivity, and technology-driven businesses. The firm works alongside ambitious founders creating category-leading companies and collaborates with portfolio companies, investors, corporates, and ecosystem partners across Southeast Asia and beyond.

This position offers direct exposure to the Managing Partner’s strategic work, including portfolio management, fundraising, research, and firm-wide operations.

Role Summary

Teja Ventures is looking for a driven, sharp, and action-oriented CEO Office Associate to support the Managing Partner across a wide range of strategic and operational priorities.

This is explicitly not an investment analyst position and not an executive assistant position. The role functions as an extension of the Managing Partner, helping move important projects forward, coordinate with external stakeholders, organize information, improve decision-making, and ensure that multiple workstreams are executed reliably.

The position provides broad exposure to venture capital, startups, fundraising, portfolio management, impact-focused innovation, consumer and technology trends, and ecosystem development. It is designed to build skills often associated with future Chief of Staff, COO, platform, or venture-building leadership roles.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive high-priority strategic initiatives alongside the Managing Partner.
• Research industries, markets, emerging technologies, and investment themes.
• Draft briefing notes, presentations, and other decision-support materials.
• Support the assessment of new opportunities, partnerships, and ecosystem initiatives.
• Convert meetings into clear action items and next steps.
• Monitor priorities, timelines, projects, and deliverables across multiple workstreams.
• Follow up with internal and external stakeholders to keep execution on track.
• Maintain strong visibility over several concurrent initiatives.
• Work closely with the internal team on administrative execution so operations remain smooth.
• Assist with portfolio reporting and KPI monitoring.
• Help maintain portfolio dashboards and valuation tracking.
• Collect information from portfolio companies and internal stakeholders as needed.
• Support quarterly reporting cycles.
• Support fundraising preparation and investor-facing materials.
• Maintain CRM records and investor engagement tracking systems.
• Prepare briefing notes for meetings with investors, founders, corporates, and ecosystem partners.
• Build and update internal dashboards and trackers.
• Organize institutional knowledge and documentation.
• Improve workflows through automation, AI tools, and process optimization.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who shows strong ownership, stays highly organized, and pays close attention to detail. You should communicate clearly in writing and speech, think in a structured way, and be able to simplify complex issues. Strong follow-through, disciplined execution, curiosity, and comfort in a fast-moving entrepreneurial setting are all important.

Preferred Backgrounds

Fresh graduates are welcome from fields such as engineering, computer science, economics, finance, mathematics, business analytics, business, public policy, and environmental studies.

More important than the exact degree is evidence that you have taken initiative and created something meaningful. This could include leading a student organization, launching a startup or side project, organizing major events or conferences, running community initiatives, or independently building products, content, or programs.

Preferred Skills

• Strong spreadsheet skills in Excel or Google Sheets
• Presentation creation and design using PowerPoint or Google Slides
• Research, synthesis, and summarization
• Project coordination and task management
• Basic financial understanding
• Comfort with AI tools and automation workflows
• Data analysis and dashboard building
• Prior venture capital experience is not required

What Success Looks Like

Within the first 12 months, success in this role means becoming a central coordination point for major strategic initiatives and key stakeholders, improving visibility across projects, strengthening the firm’s data and reporting practices, enabling faster and better-informed decisions, and growing into a trusted sounding board for the Managing Partner.

Who Should Apply

This opportunity is a strong fit for someone who wants direct exposure to venture capital and startup building, enjoys solving ambiguous problems and creating systems, learns quickly across different industries, and wants fast-tracked access to founders, investors, and strategic decision-making. It also suits someone who aspires to become a future Chief of Staff, COO, platform leader, venture builder, founder, or investor.

Application Instructions

Applicants should send their resume, a one-page summary of a company, industry, or trend they find interesting, and an example of something they have built, led, or organized along with the impact it created.
