Operations / General Manager at U.S. – China Investment Consulting Firm

Location:Beijing, China

Position: Operations Manager / General Manager

Target start date: August 17

Compensation: Negotiable; approximately 60,000 RMB monthly

What we do:

We represent American real estate finance and development projects raising investment capital in China. Our decades of market experience have taught us how to structure projects for success in China and we work closely with developers to make sure they are bringing the right opportunities to market. Then we manage and coordinate local fundraising for the projects. To date we have successfully raised over US$200MM for our clients. We’ve accomplished this with a very small team because everyone we work with is outstanding. Now we want to bring on an experienced operations manager in our Beijing office to systematize the processes we’ve had success with and help us expand the business while maintaining the highest standard of client service.

You’ll enjoy working with us if you:

1. Are results-driven. It’s easy to tell if what we do is effective, we get feedback quickly. Wins are well earned and can be tremendously gratifying.
2. Are growth-oriented. We don’t expect a new team member to come in knowing it all, but we do expect everyone to constantly develop their knowledge and skills.
3. Are meticulous. There’s no detail too small in our business. We take pride in our work and the difference between getting something handled and getting it right.
4. Are a service professional. We take care of people and deliver for them and we don’t let people down. That goes for our clients and each other.
5. Want to do something special. We’re in it for the long haul, because we know this business can get a lot bigger with the right team in place.
