Business Development & Operations Intern – Remote

We are looking for a smart, ambitious and highly responsible Business Development & Operations Intern to join our international team.

This is not a traditional internship where you only observe or perform repetitive tasks. You will work directly with management and gradually take responsibility for real business operations, business development, team coordination and client/vendor communication.

The position is designed as a management-track role. Candidates who learn quickly, take ownership and produce results can grow rapidly in both responsibility and salary.

What You Will Do

You will initially support several businesses operating mainly in Suriname and Guyana, with a strong focus on the development and growth of Jaja!, our digital platform.

Your responsibilities will gradually include:

- Business development and market research
- Contacting and following up with potential vendors and business partners
- Participating professionally in video meetings
- Coordinating with our teams in Suriname, Guyana and Asia
- Following up on tasks and making sure deadlines are not forgotten
- Monitoring whether team members actually complete assigned work
- Performing basic quality checks before work reaches management or clients
- Maintaining organized files, documentation and reports
- Helping management prioritize and coordinate projects
- Preparing follow-up lists, meeting notes and action points
- Supporting marketing and business-growth activities
- Using AI tools to research, draft, organize and improve work
- Identifying problems early instead of waiting for management to discover them
- Gradually taking ownership of projects and business operations

Who We Are Looking For

We care more about intelligence, attitude, discipline and ability to learn than years of experience.

A background in Business Administration, Management, Commerce, Marketing,



Entrepreneurship or a related field is preferred.

You should have:

- Excellent spoken and written English
- Confidence communicating professionally by video call
- Strong computer and internet skills
- Good knowledge of Google Docs, Sheets, Drive and similar tools
- Comfort learning and using AI tools such as ChatGPT
- Solid attention to detail
- Good organizational skills
- The discipline to follow up without being reminded repeatedly
- The confidence to communicate with international clients and business partners
- The ability to research and understand new industries independently
- A proactive mindset: when you see a problem, you investigate and try to solve it
- Reliable internet and a professional environment for video meetings

Basic understanding of websites, apps, digital marketing or technology is helpful, but you do not need to be a programmer.

What We Do Not Want

This position is probably not suitable if you:

- Need detailed instructions for every small task
- Regularly wait for someone to remind you about deadlines
- Are uncomfortable speaking with clients or vendors
- Avoid responsibility when something goes wrong
- Have difficulty learning new software or online tools
- Prefer simply passing messages between people instead of solving problems

We are specifically looking for someone who can gradually become a coordinator and manager, not just an assistant.

Internship & Career Growth

The internship period is 6 months.

Starting stipend: ₹15,000 per month





After approximately 2 months, strong performers may increase to approximately ₹20,000 per month, depending on performance and development.

Candidates who successfully complete the internship and demonstrate the required level of responsibility may be offered a full-time position starting around ₹40,000 per month.

Further salary growth can be considerably faster for people who quickly develop their skills, take responsibility and create measurable value for the business.

We strongly believe that increased knowledge, responsibility and performance should lead to increased compensation.

Working Hours

This is a remote position serving businesses primarily operating in Guyana and Suriname.

Typical working hours will be approximately:

3:30 PM – 11:30 PM India Standard Time

6 days per week during the internship phase.

The schedule includes structured learning and training time. Instead of expecting you to complete courses or assignments after work, professional development will form part of your scheduled working time.

Career Path

The objective is to develop the successful candidate toward positions such as:

Business Development Manager
Operations Coordinator
Operations Manager
Project / Business Manager

As your capabilities increase, you will receive greater independence and responsibility.

Most Important

We are not looking for someone who already knows everything.

We are looking for someone who is:

intelligent, disciplined, curious, reliable, communicative and extremely willing to learn.

If you enjoy learning quickly, solving problems, organizing people and turning opportunities into actual results, this position can offer significant responsibility and career growth.

Pay: ₹10,000.00 - ₹20,000.00 per month

Benefits:

- Flexible schedule
- Work from home
