Business Development Intern

AI-Powered Business Development Intern

Location: Singapore

Company Overview

Evooq is building an ecosystem of solutions that combines data, technology, and investment expertise. Finance professionals use our solutions to identify investment opportunities, make informed decisions, and manage investment risk and the investment lifecycle. Evooq operates with a flat structure that enables highly autonomous teams based on trust and responsibility.

Our goal is to run wealth management activities on a single platform across business lines (advisory, discretionary, for banks and IAMs, and later on institutional management, multi-family offices, etc.). Today, we deliver a full-featured application for advisors from dozens of major banks.

Job Description

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and financial services business development. You will operate an AI-powered outreach engine designed to identify and engage key decision-makers at banks across the region—replicating and improving upon a model previously managed by a third-party contractor.

Working directly with the Sales organisation, you will use AI tools to conduct deep research on target banks, identify the right contacts, generate highly personalized outreach messages, and manage the pipeline of responses. This is not a traditional internship. You will not be filing documents or formatting spreadsheets. Instead, you will build and run a live, revenue-generating outreach program from day one, using AI as your primary tool.

This role is ideal for someone with genuine curiosity about AI, a commercial mindset, and the communication skills to engage credibly with senior banking professionals.

Key Responsibilities

• AI-Powered Research and Contact Identification: Use AI to conduct parallel, large-scale research across a defined list of target banks to identify key decision-makers relevant to our business.
• Prospect Database Management: Maintain a clean, up-to-date prospect database organized by bank, region, and contact tier.
• Message Drafting and Quality Review: Collaborate with the Sales team and use AI tools to generate personalized connection requests and follow-up messages for each identified contact.
• Outreach Execution and Inbox Management: Execute approved outreach campaigns while keeping daily sending volumes within safe limits to protect the account.
• Pipeline Reporting and Optimisation: Prepare a concise weekly pipeline report to track sales engagements.
• Process Documentation: Refine and document each step in a clear Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).

Qualifications

Who We Are Looking For

• Academic Background: Penultimate or final-year undergraduate student at a Singapore university. Preferably studying Business, Finance, Economics, Communications, Information Systems, or a related discipline. Students from any faculty with a demonstrable interest and skills in AI and business development are encouraged to apply.

Skills and Attributes

• Combination of commercial curiosity and technical comfort (no programming required).
• Genuine enthusiasm for using AI tools to get things done.
• Clear and concise written communication in English, with the ability to adapt tone and content for senior executives (e.g., messages to a CFO must differ from messages to peers).
• Highly organized and self-directed, comfortable working with ambiguity and building something new rather than following a fully defined playbook.

Requirements

• Communication: Excellent written English; able to draft professional, concise messages for senior audiences.
• AI Literacy: Comfortable using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Manus, or similar); no coding required.
• Research Skills: Ability to synthesize information from multiple sources and draw clear conclusions.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous review of AI-generated content before it reaches external parties.
• Commercial Awareness: Basic understanding of the banking sector and B2B relationship dynamics.
• LinkedIn: Active LinkedIn user with familiarity with professional networking norms.

What We Offer

• Direct mentorship from the Managing Director.
• Structured weekly feedback sessions.
• Formal mid-term and end-of-internship review.
• A written reference letter upon successful completion of the engagement.
• Support for university-required supervisor reports or learning journals for credit-bearing internship modules.
• Access to the AI tools used in the role at no personal cost for the duration of the engagement.
