About the Role

The Junior Business Associate is an entry-level, cross-functional role working closely with the Founder (CCO/CEO) and the core team.

This role is designed for someone who is energetic, self-driven, well-organised, and eager to learn how a growing research and consulting business operates from the inside.

This is not a specialist role, but a business support role that touches operations, sales support, marketing support, legal, finance, and administration — ideal for early-career professionals who want broad exposure and real responsibility.

2. Sales Support

• Maintain and update the leads tracking sheet.
• Research and compile contact details of potential clients for meeting arrangements.
• Attend networking events to help generate leads (follow-up meetings handled by the business and research team).

3. Marketing Support

• Research and recommend relevant industry events, seminars, or communities.
• Assist with light content tasks (e.g. short articles or simple written materials).
• Support administrative needs when Upsize participates as an event sponsor.

4. Legal & General Administration

• Prepare and manage documents required for vendor registration and client procurement processes.
• Ensure all project and non-project documents are organised, complete, and easy to access.

5. Other Business Support

• Provide additional assistance as required by the CCO/CEO, including ad-hoc tasks related to business operations and internal coordination.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree from any major
• Fluent in English, both written and verbal
• Willing to work full-time from the office in South Jakarta
• Strong communication skills and comfortable interacting with different stakeholders
• Interested in business operations, including sales, marketing, legal, and finance

• Comfortable using Excel, PowerPoint, and Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive)
• Eager to learn, proactive, and adaptable
• Fresh graduates or early-career professionals are welcome to apply
