Job description
At Reapra, we are pioneering a very different way of building ventures. We believe in taking our time with potential founders in developing their vision of solving long-term systemic problems and see their startups today as being the first step to creating a future industry for the betterment of future generations. The founders and their commitments to these problems come first and because of this approach, the way we source for potential founders - initially through deep self-discovery - and the internal operations is unlike most companies or VC firms.
This position might not be for you if you are prioritising an opportunity that teaches technical skills or responsibilities in standard recruitment, VC deal sourcing, marketing or PR, or other corporate or VC responsibilities. We are creating something completely new in every process and project we start!
About this position:
We are seeking a Community Builder to establish and nurture a thriving network of future industry builders in Malaysia. In this pivotal role, you’ll bring together visionary entrepreneurs, foster collaboration, and support their journey of self-discovery and venture creation. If you’re passionate about building communities, inspiring connections, and challenging the status quo in entrepreneurship, this is your chance to make a lasting impact.

- Community Development: Build and grow the Malaysia Reapra Community through innovative strategies and organic engagement.
- Founder Sourcing: Co-develop and implement systems to identify and connect with high-potential founders in Malaysia and other markets.

- Content & Collateral: Develop marketing and PR strategies to promote Reapra’s mission and community.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Coordinate with teams across the Reapra organisation to align efforts and achieve shared goals.
- Advocacy & Alignment: Represent the Community within the organization to ensure its needs align with Reapra’s vision and values.
- Social Media & Engagement: Manage social media platforms to increase visibility, engagement, and awareness of the community.
Expectations:
- High-energy, high-initiative, and highly committed individual.
- Passion for Entrepreneurship: Strong motivation to promote and support a new, non-traditional approach to entrepreneurship.
- Community Building Expertise: Proven experience creating and growing communities from the ground up, both online and offline.
- Independent & Adaptable: Ability to work autonomously in a flexible, remote setting while managing multiple priorities.
- Creative Thinker: A knack for experimenting with innovative strategies to engage and inspire.
- Empathy & Communication: Exceptional listening and communication skills, with a high level of emotional intelligence. This includes a very high level of empathy and listening especially when managing very personal information alongside business considerations.
- Cultural Sensitivity: Experience working with diverse groups and understanding different cultural dynamics.
Why join us?
- Be part of a pioneering effort to shape the industries of tomorrow.
- Work with a passionate team dedicated to redefining entrepreneurship.
