Careers — Premium executive support
Operations Coordinator.
Part‑Time · 20–30 hrs/week average · Bangkok (Sukhumvit, in‑person) · 6‑month initial contract · Start: immediate
You anticipate needs before they become problems, keep demanding schedules and relationships on track, and operate with discretion where details matter and timelines are unforgiving. Right‑hand support to the founder — at full speed.
You see the mission and remove the friction — so the principal can stay on the high‑value work.
Skylance supports leaders making upstream decisions in defense & aerospace, energy & critical infrastructure, government and sovereign work, fintech, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, and other frontier sectors. As the part‑time Operations Coordinator and right‑hand support to the founder/fractional COO, you keep operations moving across client engagements, business development, travel, and knowledge management — without getting lost in the noise.
This is a premium part‑time support role for operator‑grade work in regulated, cross‑border, high‑consequence settings. You will travel with the principal to selected conferences, client sites, and key meetings when required, with advance notice and schedule alignment. Low ego, high ownership.

The rhythm: Flexible part‑time schedule averaging 20–30 hours per week, primarily aligned with core Bangkok business hours. Reasonable limited after‑hours flexibility for urgent client windows or US calls. Occasional evenings, weekends, or intensive blocks during travel or time‑sensitive periods — compensated with additional pay or time off. Flexible scheduling accommodations around university commitments if you’re still studying. Not a 24/7 on‑call role, but proactive ownership during your working hours is essential.
Energy, reliability, and proactive judgment.
- / 01 Recent college graduates or final‑year students welcome — strong energy, reliability, quick learning, and proactive judgment matter most. Baseline: some college education or equivalent. Welcome
- / 02 Excellent written and spoken English. Thai fluency is a significant advantage for local operations and public‑sector work, but not required. Language
- / 03 Demonstrated organization, discretion, and ownership. EA, PA, internship, project coordination, or administrative experience is a plus — not required if you show high capacity. Ownership
- / 04 Comfort in professional, sometimes high‑pressure environments involving regulated industries and government relations. Pressure

Exact offer is tailored to demonstrated capability, English fluency, travel readiness, AI proficiency, and schedule flexibility. Compensation
