Business Development Intern

Business Development Intern | Lynqra | Singapore

Lynqra is a Singapore AI company. We help SMEs adopt AI in a way that actually ships: agents, workflow automation, apps, and training, scoped to what the business needs.

We're hiring a Business Development Intern to help the founder build partnerships and get sales moving. This is not a research-only seat. You'll be in the pipeline.

What you'll do

• Source and qualify Singapore SME leads (ops-heavy teams drowning in repetitive admin)
• Run outreach: LinkedIn, email, warm intros. Book conversations, not just collect contacts
• Build a partnership pipeline: grant consultants, training academies, consulting firms, and other operators who already sit in front of SMEs
• Support the first consult: AI readiness, low-hanging fruit, what to automate vs keep human
• Keep a clean pipeline: who we spoke to, what's next, what stalled
• Help turn wins and case studies into something we can actually send to the next prospect

You're a fit if you

• Like talking to business owners and don't freeze on a cold message
• Write clearly and follow up without being asked twice
• Are curious about AI, sales, or startups, and want to learn by doing
• Can work in Singapore (hybrid, with some face-to-face)
• Bonus: you've sold, interned in BD, or already have a network in SMEs, HR, logistics, trading, or professional services. Mandarin is a plus, not required.

What you get

• Direct access to the founder. You see how deals actually get done
• Real ownership of conversations and partnerships, not fake intern tasks
• A crash course in how Singapore SMEs buy AI, including grants and readiness, not just slides
