Pace (https://pacenow.co) is Asia's alternative payment and financing platform, built to expand the financial ability of consumers and companies.
Pace is developed by a founding team of seasoned serial entrepreneurs and operators. The CEO of the company has founded 3 startups (with successful exits) across Silicon Valley and Asia. Backed by one of the largest venture capital firms from Southeast Asia, the company is headquartered in Singapore.
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.
We want someone who thinks outside the box to solve everyday problems. Someone who can think on their feet. We want someone with the courage to make decisions on behalf of the company that will benefit our partners, which will in turn benefit the company. You’ll be responsible for building a strong support network for Merchants and Partners, with a focus on payment solutions that drive sales.
Your role is really fluid in this team. Take the first few weeks to try everything out, then devise an area of expertise you want to specialise in. As much as we want you to leave with an impact on the company, we want this internship to make an impact on you too.
If you run into fires when people are running out, we want you!
