• Support day-to-day business administration, including internal documentation, coordination with finance, and maintaining project records.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, Management, Marketing, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Minimum 2 years of professional experience in business development, project management, operations, or a related discipline.
• Excellent command of spoken and written English, with the ability to communicate confidently and clearly with international clients and organisations.
• Strong writing skills with experience producing professional documents such as proposals, reports, or contracts.
• A commercially aware mindset with the confidence to engage prospective clients and represent the company externally.
• Solid organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritise across competing deadlines.
• Familiarity with the software development lifecycle and the ability to communicate effectively with technical teams.
• A proactive, self-directed work style suited to a lean team environment.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in or alongside a software development or IT services company.
• Exposure to digital marketing, SEO, or social media management.
• Experience with public sector or INGO procurement and tender processes.
• Familiarity with tools such as Google Workspace, project management platforms, or CRM systems.

What We Offer

•  A competitive salary aligned with experience.
• A client-facing role with genuine breadth, working directly with leadership across business development and operations.
• Exposure to diverse industries including healthcare, hospitality, real estate, finance, and international development.
• A collaborative, close-knit team environment within an established company with 18 years in the industry.
• Room to grow the role and make it your own as the company scales.
