• Manage office supplies, equipment, stationery and general office set-up, ensuring the space is well organised and professional.
• Liaise with building management, landlords, vendors and service providers on office maintenance, repairs and facilities matters.
• Welcome visitors and visiting Real Chemistry colleagues; coordinate meeting rooms, refreshments and basic hosting arrangements.

• Help maintain local health, safety and emergency arrangements, including fire procedures, first aid information and emergency contacts.
• Coordinate small office events, team lunches, celebrations and other activities that help create a positive employee experience.
• Support office budget tracking, vendor relationships and office-related payments or purchase requests.
• Work collaboratively with the wider administrative team to provide seamless support across Real Chemistry.
• Take on other reasonable duties as needed as the Singapore office grows and evolves.

What you should have:

• Education and Experience:
  • BS or associate’s degree in business management or related field preferred but not required.

• Professional presence and appearance.
• Resourceful and intuitive problem solver with proactive solutions and strategies.

At Real Chemistry, we believe we're at our best when we're connected. Our Real Hybrid and Regional Teams (Real HART) approach is designed to foster collaboration, learning, innovation, and meaningful relationships while providing flexibility where appropriate. Because our workforce spans multiple countries, regions, and client needs, work arrangements may vary by role and location. Some positions offer hybrid or remote flexibility, while others require regular in-office presence. For example, certain teams and regions, including some of our UK operations, have office-based requirements. Your recruiter will discuss the specific expectations for the role you're pursuing during the interview process and keep you informed throughout the hiring journey. For employees located within a one-hour commute of a Real Chemistry office, we require in-person attendance two days per week, either from a Real Chemistry office or when working onsite with clients. Employees in regions without a nearby office may work remotely and come together throughout the year for collaboration, culture-building, learning, and team connection opportunities. While these guidelines reflect our current workplace model, we understand that everyone’s circumstances are unique. If you require additional flexibility, we welcome an open conversation with your recruiter and our HR team to discuss your needs and determine what may be possible.

We continually strive to build and sustain an inclusive and equitable work environment where our employees feel empowered to leverage all they bring from their personal lived experience and professional expertise, to make our team the best in the industry.
