You will work on real client opportunities, partnerships, and expansion initiatives across Hipster and Voncierge - from identifying prospects and developing outreach strategies to joining client meetings and preparing proposals.

• Support our expansion into the US, Malaysia, Southeast Asia, and other international markets.
• Develop and execute outreach strategies through email, LinkedIn, networking, and other channels.
• Engage prospects and support opportunities from initial outreach through meetings, demos, proposals, and follow-ups.
• Understand client challenges and identify how Hipster or Voncierge can help increase revenue, reduce costs, improve customer experience, or increase operational efficiency.
• Prepare pitch decks, proposals, case studies, and customised sales materials.
• Conduct market research, competitor analysis, and customer segmentation.
• Work with product, marketing, project management, and technical teams to shape potential solutions.
• Maintain the sales pipeline and track outreach and conversion metrics.
• Attend relevant client meetings, networking events, and industry engagements.

Who We're Looking For

• Strong interest in business development, sales, startups, Al, software, or technology.
• Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Confident approaching new people and communicating with business stakeholders.
• Able to research unfamiliar industries and identify commercial opportunities.
• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable taking ownership.
• Organised and disciplined with follow-ups.
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Curious, commercially minded, and willing to experiment with new approaches.
• Able to commit for a minimum of 5 months.
• Previous experience in sales, marketing, business development, or technology is a plus, but not required.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience in B2B and enterprise business development.
• Exposure to how Al and software products are commercialised and sold.
• Experience supporting international expansion and go-to-market strategies.
• Opportunities to work on real client proposals, meetings, and partnerships.
• Exposure to multiple industries and business models.
• Experience working alongside business, product, and technical teams.
• Autonomy to test ideas and take ownership of meaningful projects.
