Operations & Delivery — open hiring track
Location: Klang Valley with hybrid working. Open to remote candidates across Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Posting status: Always open.
About Scellus
Scellus builds and operates AI systems for document-heavy businesses in Southeast Asia. We help law firms, clinics, logistics teams, manufacturers, and regional operators reduce manual checking, duplicate entry, missed follow-ups, and process leakage. We stay accountable after launch.
We have been operating since 2008 across infrastructure, application development, and AI implementation. Recent engagements include Moideen & Max, NAS Group, and Seleksi Niaga. Malaysian law firms are our launch vertical, with government and statutory bodies as a secondary buying motion.
About the role
We want to meet operators who can hold a portfolio of client engagements together. Delivery is the heart of how Scellus runs. The right person on this side of the firm decides what gets built, what gets postponed, what gets escalated, and what gets quietly fixed before the client notices.
The function is clear. The exact shape depends on your background, seniority, and the kind of ownership you can carry.
We are open to creating the right shape of role for the right person. Whether you have managed delivery at a services firm, run operations inside a law firm or clinic, led a project office at a mid-market company, or built workflow systems hands-on — tell us where you would plug in.
Who we want to hear from
This depends on your background. We are especially interested in people who:
- Have done operational work, not only advised on it
- Understand mid-market businesses in Southeast Asia: what they buy, why they hesitate, how they decide
- Are direct, precise, and skeptical of slogans
- Can hold accountability for outcomes that take months to land
- Work well without a fully defined playbook
- Treat clients as serious operators, not lifestyle prospects
Backgrounds that often map well to this work, regardless of formal job title:
- Former paralegals, conveyancing clerks, or office managers from law firms
- Clinic administrators or healthcare operations leads
- Logistics or supply-chain coordinators
- Internal operations managers at SMEs and mid-market firms
- Senior consultants who want to deliver and stay accountable, not advise and exit
We do not require degrees from named universities, Big Four backgrounds, or English as a first language. Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, and Bahasa Indonesia are assets.
If you are mid-career and considering a move from a stable employer, we understand what that decision looks like. Tell us what would make it worth it.
Where you might plug in
Depending on your background, you could contribute across:
- Account ownership. Run a portfolio of operating engagements. Hold the line between client commitments and system reality.
- Operations review delivery. Lead the diagnostic engagement from intake through report. Decide what enters the implementation pipeline.
- Vertical leadership. Own one industry end-to-end: law firms, clinics, logistics, manufacturing, or commercial services.
- Project recovery. Take engagements that have drifted, reset them, and return them to operating standard.
- Internal operations. Build the systems that let the firm scale without losing the work quality that defines us.
Compensation and working pattern
Compensation depends on seniority, role shape, and ownership level. We discuss the range before any working session so neither side wastes time.
For senior or revenue-owning roles, performance pay, profit share, or equity participation may be discussed.
Health coverage and standard statutory benefits are included.
We work asynchronously by default. In-person time happens deliberately, not as a substitute for working through problems clearly in writing.
