About BJAK

The original mission of BJAK is we believe people deserve smarter ways to plan, save and grow their money. This is the origin of our name.
Started in 2019, we built the first mobile-first, insurance platform, enabling insurance to be accessible online by millions in the region. Today, its the leading insurance platform in Southeast Asia.
Today, we are expanding ways to help people in the region — this includes spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more. Our mission is help people get more from their money every day.
We have teams working around the world, with over 20 nationalities from our offices and remotely, who truly enjoys their work. We are looking for the most talented and driven people we can find. We are looking for people who work for their passion, not counting hours. Who loves building great next-generation products, not status quo. Who cares about redefining how everyone around us can get the best financial applications, not for an exclusive few.
If you're this person, we'd love to talk to you.
The Role

We are looking for a Chief of Staff to help drive BJAK's AI Neobank app expansion across products, markets and teams. This is a senior execution role for someone who can align leadership, drive operating cadence, solve cross-functional problems and turn strategy into measurable progress.
What You'll Own

  • Build and manage operating rhythm, OKRs, leadership updates, decision tracking and accountability. 

  • Coordinate major workstreams across product, engineering, licensing, market expansion, partnerships, finance and operations. 

  • Prepare concise decision memos, board / leadership materials, execution plans and performance reviews. 

  • Identify gaps, risks and dependencies before they become serious blockers. 

  • Help leadership make sharper trade-offs on people, capital, product and market priorities. 

  • Own special projects that require senior judgement and cross-functional authority.


What We're Looking For 

  • Strong operator with experience driving strategic execution across teams. 

  • Excellent judgement, communication, prioritization and follow-through. 

  • Able to work with founders, CEOs, leadership teams and senior external stakeholders.

This Role Is Not For

  • People who create process without improving execution. 

  • Those who avoid operational details. 
