Wipunen Asia is an Indochina-focused fund management and advisory firm headquartered in Singapore. Our mission is to deliver benchmark beating returns to our investors through active ownership of publicly listed companies.
WHY WORK WITH US
As a purpose-driven investment firm, we focus on creating value for people and society by building great and sustainable businesses. We strive to transform ourselves, our business, and our communities for the better.
We provide you with an opportunity to expand your perspectives and work with a diverse team of professionals from different parts of the world. Our corporate culture is collaborative and results-driven, and we balance hard work by having a few laughs along the way.
At Wipunen Asia, we take great pride in hiring and supporting outstanding talent, and we want everyone to succeed in their role. We offer the right person a unique opportunity to build a long-term career in a supportive and dynamic working environment.
But before you apply, be aware:
Wipunen Asia is a small and nimble organisation. Each functional team will have 1-3 members, and your colleagues work in several geographical locations. That means may feel isolated from time to time, and you need to work independently to achieve your objectives.
We do a lot of different things. One day you're sent to pick up coffee, the next you're leading a workshop for the entire firm. That means your responsibilities may vary substantially, and you will need to "wear multiple hats".
There is a lot to learn. You may have prior experience, but between learning about our firm and becoming adept with our internal processes, you'll likely feel "underwater" for the first several months. However, if you're an ambitious and driven individual, you will enjoy the steep learning curve.
