Responsibility

Covering the entrepreneurship and innovation scene in Dhaka i.e. identify startups, companies, investors, people, trends, new developments, and events and interview entrepreneurs, professionals, and stakeholders and write intriguing stories on them.

You’ll also be responsible for distribution of these stories on social media channels and analyze the response of readers and take notes to improve.

Desired Skills

Student/Discipline: Undergraduate or graduate students from any discipline/subject can apply. However, we prefer undergraduate students who are in their 2nd/3rd year during the time of application.

You should be passionate about writing, business, and technology industry in Bangladesh and be able to write about important companies and people behind those companies and should be able to do so in a tight deadline under pressure.

Prior writing experience in English is helpful but not necessary.

We expect self-sufficient people who can work under minimum directions and don’t require spoon-feeding and constant supervision. That said, we ensure great working experience and provide a lot of help with your work.

Right now commitment, hard work and a sense of responsibility these things are in extremely short supply in Bangladesh, we expect you to have enough of these things.

Please note that we are a startup, so expect everything to be scrappy, a lot of real hard work, flat culture, less formality and a lot of freedom. Most importantly, expect a lot of work.

Experience with Microsoft Office and Google Docs and graphic design tools, WordPress is a plus.

Intellectual curiosity and predisposition to creative problem-solving. A strong sense of urgency and the ability to prioritize and manage a complex workload.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
