- Assist in developing regional concept planning, phased implementation models, and master plan inputs — including QIP-related research, environmental pre-assessment data gathering, and site suitability analysis.
- Profile and segment target tenants across both zones, supporting the development of tailored outreach and engagement materials.
- Contribute to the investment case: financial model inputs, business plan sections, investor presentation drafts, and data room documentation to support capital raising and anchor tenant onboarding.
- Support engagement with ecosystem partners including international institutions (e.g., IFC), food innovation networks, and relevant government bodies, under the direction of the Director and CEO.
- Satellite Projects: Market Entry & Business Development
- Conduct structured market research, competitive analysis, and opportunity mapping for adjacent business development initiatives across sectors and geographies as assigned.

- Demonstrated experience contributing to market research, feasibility studies, and business plan development.
- Track record of working autonomously in lean or startup-like environments where resourcefulness matters more than hierarchy.
- Experience in one or more of: food/agriculture sector, industrial park or SEZ development, FMCG, or supply chain management.
- Strong analytical and financial modelling skills; experience supporting investor materials is a plus.
- Familiarity with Cambodia’s QIP framework, CDC processes, and SEZ regulatory environment is a distinct advantage.
