Alternative Finance Associate

At Reapra, we're pioneering an innovative approach to venture building. Our core belief is in nurturing potential founders by dedicating ample time to develop their vision for addressing long-term systemic issues. We view our current startups as the initial building blocks of a brighter future for generations to come. Our primary focus is on individuals and their commitment to solving these very long-term challenges while not relying on trending technology or hot business ideas. This distinctive approach influences how we identify potential founders, initially through in-depth self-exploration, and how we operate internally—setting us apart from conventional companies and VC firms.
We encourage you to apply to this Finance Associate role if you are: (1) curious about participating in a fun and engaging self-discovery process to give some long-term direction in your career path, (2) enthusiastic about the role of Finance in organisations but want to try something completely new, and (3) interested in co-creating novel systems and frameworks of learning related to Finance within venture building activities.
This role will entail a discernment process called Intensive Foundation Design where you will use a model of self-understanding as a personal blueprint to enhance your learning and work throughout the project tasks and think about your own career options in the future. After completion of Foundation Design, you will dive right into a very dynamic, fast-changing set of project-related tasks while exploring how Finance can support the organisation’s long-term mission and vision.
As part of the Alternative Finance Associate role, you will be responsible for the accounting, finance operation and treasurer activities of the group. Fundamental to the Company’s long-term mission and vision, you would be working closely with both internal and external stakeholders to address the Group’s operational and expansion needs. Depending on the time frame, you would be spearheading various responsibilities including bookkeeping, head-office reporting, statutory compliance submissions, data management, restructuring, consolidation, streamlining of operations and ad-hoc projects.
Join us to embark on a journey where you will help us redefine the venture space and build future industries!
