Founder's Office - Finance Super App (Japan)

About BJAK

The original mission of BJAK is we believe people deserve smarter ways to plan, save and grow their money. This is the origin of our name.

Started in 2019, we built the first mobile-first, insurance platform, enabling insurance to be accessible online by millions in the region. Today, its the leading insurance platform in Southeast Asia.

Today, we are expanding ways to help people in the region — this includes spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more. Our mission is help people get more from their money every day.

We have teams working around the world, with over 20 nationalities from our offices and remotely, who truly enjoys their work. We are looking for the most talented and driven people we can find. We are looking for people who work for their passion, not counting hours. Who loves building great next-generation products, not status quo. Who cares about redefining how everyone around us can get the best financial applications, not for an exclusive few.

If you're this person, we'd love to talk to you.

The Role

We are looking for high-ownership generalists to join the Founder's Office for BJAK's finance super app expansion. This role is for builders who can take on ambiguous business problems, move fast across functions and help launch new financial products, markets, licences and partnerships.

What You'll Own

• Drive zero-to-one strategic projects for the finance super app. 

• Support licensing, market entry, partner acquisition, office setup, hiring and operating plans.

• Research markets, competitors, regulations, partners and business models. 

• Turn founder-level ideas into structured plans, owners, timelines and next actions. 

• Work across product, legal, compliance, finance, hiring, operations and country teams. 

• Build trackers, briefs, memos, operating documents and execution rhythms. 

• Own urgent business problems until they are solved.

What We're Looking For 

• Strong generalist with high ownership, strong writing and sharp business judgement. 

• Able to learn new industries, regulations and markets quickly. 

• Comfortable working on licensing, partnerships, operations, market research and execution. 

• Can turn messy inputs into clear plans and follow-through.

• Fast, resourceful and calm under pressure. 

• Strong English communication and structured thinking.

• Experience in startups, consulting, fintech, strategy, operations, investing or founder-led environments is a strong advantage.

The Kind of Builder We Want 

• Can work with senior leaders and still do hands-on execution. 

• Writes clearly, thinks practically and follows up relentlessly. 

• Handles ambiguity without creating drama. 

• Cares about real outcomes, not looking important.

This Role Is Not For

• People who only want strategy decks. 

• Candidates who need fixed job scope and predictable tasks.

• People who avoid follow-up, admin details or operational work. 

• Those who cannot write clearly or move fast. 

• People who want title/status more than responsibility.
