Business Consultant (SME Advisory)
Associate Business Consultant
About Vanice Advisory
Vanice Advisory is a management consultancy helping Singapore and regional SMEs grow through strategic development, branding, corporate structuring, and marketing initiatives. Many of our client engagements are supported through relevant government grant schemes, but our work is built around real business outcomes — not paperwork.
About the Role
We're looking for a meticulous, business-minded Associate Consultant to join our advisory team. You'll work directly with clients on strategy, branding, incorporation, and marketing projects — drafting proposals from our existing templates and playbooks, and using AI tools to work efficiently without cutting corners on accuracy. This is a hands-on consulting role with real client exposure from day one.
Key Responsibilities
Proposal Drafting
- Draft client proposals based on Vanice's existing templates, adapting them accurately to each client's specific project and objectives
- Use AI-powered writing and drafting tools to speed up first drafts, while maintaining full ownership of accuracy and quality in the final output
- Prepare supporting documentation (vendor quotations, project timelines, clarification responses) to a high standard
Scope & Compliance Accuracy
- Ensure every proposal fits within the supported scope of the relevant government grant scheme — flag anything that falls outside supported activities before it's finalized
- Assess whether a client's financial position realistically supports the proposed project, using the firm's standard KPI framework (current ratio, current assets, etc.)
- Cross-check proposal details — scope, deliverables, quotations, timelines — for internal consistency before submission
- Verify supporting documents against source records rather than taking summaries or templates at face value
Project & Documentation Management
- Manage documentation end-to-end across the project lifecycle, from proposal through delivery and reporting
- Respond to client and stakeholder queries professionally and promptly
- Maintain organized, audit-ready project files
What We're Looking For
Essential
- Excellent written English, strong editing and proofreading instincts
- High attention to detail — comfortable working precisely from templates, checklists, and defined scope
- Comfortable reading basic financial statements, or a fast learner on our internal KPI framework
- Comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) as part of a daily drafting workflow
- Strong organizational skills; able to manage multiple client projects simultaneously
Desirable
- Prior exposure to SME advisory, corporate services, government grant consulting, or business proposal writing
- Interest in building a career in management consulting
What We Provide
- Existing proposal templates, playbooks, and AI-powered writing tools
- Direct mentorship from senior consultants
- Real client and project exposure from day one
- Clear path toward a full Consultant title
