We don’t want interns that wait for someone to tell them what to do. We want you to be the spirit and voice of Pace, by representing the company’s benefits and offerings to the wider market and contribute to Pace’s employee culture, by bringing individuality and diversity to the company
Pace is currently operating in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong & Thailand and is rapidly expanding in Asia Pacific. Pace will be expanding to Japan, Korea, Taiwan (by H1 2022) and the rest of Southeast Asia (by end 2022). As an intern, you will be exposed to our cross-boundary operations through direct connections with country GMs, managers and representatives at all levels. Some positions will also involve setting up operational processes for the new regions, as well as directly speaking with clients and customers from these regions. The Pace internship experience is not bounded by the country you are based in, but rather a choice to make this experience truly your own, with international exposure.
If you want a boring, desk-bound internship, look elsewhere, this role only needs you to go out and run around! We want someone who dares to approach merchants and get them to continue using Pace. This internship is your first step towards account management and business development, if that is what you are looking to do in future!
Your role is simple - make the merchants you are in-charge of become Super Merchants with Pace. For them to become a Super Merchant, you need to make sure they know how to use Pace to their advantage, and you help them along the way for this!
If you love people, this role is for you!
