Business Development Intern

Role Overview

We are looking for a driven and personable Business Development Intern to help grow Fasset's presence in Bangladesh by building relationships with business clients, forging strategic partnerships, and cultivating a network of brand ambassadors. This is a high-visibility role for someone who wants hands-on exposure to fintech, partnerships, and market growth in an emerging digital finance ecosystem — working directly with the Bangladesh Country Lead.

Key Responsibilities

Business Client Relationship Building

• Identify and reach out to potential business clients (SMEs, freelancer communities, corporates) who could benefit from Fasset's products and services)
• Support onboarding conversations and maintain relationship pipelines using CRM/tracking tools
• Represent Fasset professionally in meetings, calls, and follow-ups with prospective clients

Partnerships

• Support due diligence, proposal drafting, and follow-through on partnership agreements
• Help track partnership performance and maintain relationship health with existing partners

Ambassador Program

• Help identify, recruit, and onboard community ambassadors across Bangladesh (freelancer hubs, universities, fintech communities)
• Coordinate ambassador activities, incentive tracking, and communication cadences
• Support content and messaging for ambassador engagement and community growth campaigns

Market & Reporting Support

• Conduct light market research on prospective clients, partners, and competitor activity in Bangladesh's fintech/remittance space
• Prepare simple trackers, decks, or summaries for internal reporting
• Support the Country Lead with ad hoc business development tasks as needed

Who We're Looking For

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Marketing, or a related field
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills — comfortable initiating conversations with strangers, clients, and partners
• Genuine interest in fintech, digital banking, remittances, or Islamic finance
• Organized, self-motivated, and comfortable working with some ambiguity in a fast-moving startup environment
• Basic proficiency with spreadsheets/CRM tools (Google Sheets, Excel, Notion, etc.)
• Fluent in Bangla and English
• Prior experience in sales, client-facing roles, community management, or student organizations is a plus

What You'll Gain

• Direct mentorship from Fasset's Bangladesh Country Lead
• Real ownership over client, partner, and ambassador relationships — not just observation
• First-hand exposure to how a global fintech builds market entry strategy in an emerging market
• A strong reference and potential pathway to a full-time role based on performance
• Certificate of completion and letter of recommendation
