Executive assistant at Approach World

Approach World is a Singapore-based consulting firm founded by Lisa Enckell and Andreas Ehn. In 2015, after several years with startups in Stockholm and San Francisco, we decided to start Approach – a project to learn more about the world while working with startups, corporates and investors globally. With a base in Singapore, we help companies all over the world with their technology, product and marketing challenges.

We’re now looking to expand our team with an independent and pro-active executive assistant who loves solving big and small problems and taking on challenges. As we’re on the road a lot we currently don’t have an office in Singapore, hence this is a remote role (at least to start).
