Investment Portfolio Manager

Turn Insight into Alpha. Build Portfolios That Perform.

At BJAK, we’re building Southeast Asia’s most advanced digital financial platform - simplifying access to protection, investment, and financial services for millions. As we scale aggressively across the region, we’re looking for a sharp, driven Investment Portfolio Manager to take ownership of high-conviction investment strategies and deliver measurable performance.

This isn’t a maintenance role - it’s a builder’s role. You will develop a thesis, run deep research, execute with precision, and monitor portfolio performance end-to-end. You’ll operate with autonomy and intensity, working directly with leadership to scale a disciplined, high-performance investment platform from the ground up.

We want someone who’s analytical, curious, and obsessed with return on capital. Someone who doesn’t just model well, but thinks deeply, communicates clearly, and has the judgment to act when it counts.

Why This Role Matters

• You will help shape BJAK’s investment strategy and execute positions that move the needle.

• You will own the portfolio from idea to execution, driving results with full accountability.

• You will be part of a fast-moving, founder-led company where decisions happen fast, and outcomes matter.

• Your analysis, insight, and execution will directly impact capital allocation and company growth.

What You’ll Do

i) Strategy & Portfolio Management

• Develop tailored investment strategies that align with BJAK’s long-term growth and risk profile

• Execute asset trades, rebalance portfolios, and optimize capital deployment dynamically

• Track performance rigorously and lead real-time decision-making based on evolving conditions

ii) Deep Research & Modeling

• Perform fundamental analysis across industries, sectors, and companies

• Build and maintain robust valuation and forecasting models (DCF, LBO, comps, etc.)

• Synthesize macroeconomic data, industry shifts, and competitive insights into actionable decisions

iii) High-Stakes Communication

• Present investment theses, updates, and risk views to senior stakeholders

• Write clear, insightful research notes and performance reports

• Communicate fluently with internal leadership and external partners

iv) Innovation & Execution

• Identify unique opportunities ahead of the market - across public, private, or alternative assets

• Contribute to the design of proprietary strategies or new investment frameworks

• Leverage systems, tools, and data to scale insight and improve execution discipline

v) Risk & Compliance

• Monitor risk exposures, stress test assumptions, and ensure sound portfolio construction

• Ensure compliance with legal, tax, and regulatory requirements

• Maintain audit-ready records and reporting standards

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

• Take ownership like a founder - you don’t wait for permission to make things better

• Have a deep hunger for performance and a high bar for your own analysis

• Can move between deep modeling and crisp communication - fast

• Want exposure to capital allocation at the highest levels

• Are naturally skeptical, data-driven, and focused on return, not noise

• Are comfortable with volatility, ambiguity, and pressure, and turn them into clarity and action

What You Bring

• 1+ years of experience in equity research, investment banking, hedge funds, private equity, or similar

• Strong foundation in financial analysis, business modeling, and valuation techniques

• Proven ability to turn research into execution and monitor performance with discipline

• Excellent communication skills - both in writing and presenting to stakeholders

• Advanced Excel/Sheets modeling skills; familiarity with tools like Bloomberg, CapIQ, or similar

• Based in Malaysia, and open to hybrid or in-office work at our HQ in Petaling Jaya

Nice to Have

• CFA charterholder or working toward CFA / MBA

• Experience with fintech, tech, or founder-led companies

• Exposure to cross-border markets or multi-asset portfolios

• Understanding of investment tax implications and reporting standards
