Business Development Internship

About the role

We're looking for a curious, driven Business Development Intern to join our Malaysia team and get real exposure to how a fast-growing automotive tech company builds partnerships. Motorist's mission is simple: make car ownership easy and stress-free — and that starts with a strong network of dealers, workshops, and partners across the region.

Key responsibilities

• Help identify and reach out to potential automotive partners — dealers, workshops, and related businesses
• Support outreach efforts through research, call preparation, and follow-ups
• Assist with onboarding activities to get new partners up and running smoothly
• Maintain communication with existing partners and help document their needs and feedback
• Help prepare partnership materials, decks, and proposals
• Conduct market and competitor research to spot growth opportunities
• Compile performance data, prepare summary reports, and flag key trends to the BD team
• Collaborate with Sales and Operations teams on partner-related tasks and internal projects

About you

• Currently pursuing a degree in Business, Marketing, Management, or a related field
• Communicate well in both English and Bahasa Malaysia
• Organised, proactive, and comfortable managing tasks independently
• Comfortable with field exposure or partner visits, and open to learning
• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office or Google Workspace (Excel/Sheets a plus)
• Own transport and a valid driving licence is an advantage, but not required
