About the job Founder's Office

About BukuWarung
BukuWarung is a fintech platform serving MSMEs across Indonesia and the Philippines - creating a financial Operating System for MSMEs.

The role
The Founder's Office is where BukuWarung's most important and least well-defined problems land. You'll work directly with the Chief of Staff, one step from the CEO, across three workstreams:

  • Operational improvement — diagnose broken processes across business functions and own the fix end-to-end. Not a deck, a working solution.
  • Philippines expansion — partner with the in-country team to accelerate growth, close execution gaps, and coordinate between Jakarta and Manila.
  • Assigned high-priority problem — go-to-market for an AI product, a revenue deep-dive, scaling a product vertical, or a new market entry.


Must-have

  • 4+ years in fintech, AI, high-growth tech, or a startup where you owned more than your title suggested
  • Track record of diagnosing operational problems and driving fixes end-to-end
  • Strong written communication — clear, concise, no filler
  • Cross-functional comfort — finance, product, ops, sales
  • High ownership instinct
  • Based in Jakarta; overall Southeast Asia experience a plus


Strong preference for

  • Fintech/payments background
  • Exposure to AI products
  • Prior founder's office, chief of staff, or high-accountability generalist experience at a fast-paced role


You are someone who figures things out. Low ego, high standards. Direct. Comfortable with ambiguity. A writer — because writing is how decisions get made here. Real problems from week one. Scope grows based on what you deliver, not tenure.
