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
