Help Us Build Bangladesh's Most Important Entrepreneurship and Business Community—Become Our Community Management Intern

We are hiring a community management intern at Future Startup. Over the years, we have built a small but sustainable and growing business writing and researching about entrepreneurship, business expertise, and technology in Bangladesh. In the process, we have also built an excellent community of entrepreneurs, investors, operators, and intellectually curious readers and supporters. As we embark on the next phase of our growth, we are looking to consolidate and engage more closely with this community. To help us do that, we are hiring a community management intern. 

We believe there is a dearth of high-quality business and entrepreneurship knowledge in Bangladesh and beyond. Our business schools still teach case studies of foreign companies and there is scant in-depth reporting and analysis on Bangladeshi businesses. To address this challenge and to democratize venture-building opportunities, we are building Bangladesh’s comprehensive entrepreneurship and business knowledge platform. We believe our work helps create economic opportunities for more people by enabling entrepreneurship and innovation at scale. Your work will contribute to achieving this ambition. 

This is a paid position. An excellent opportunity for anyone interested in a career in business, entrepreneurship, and technology. We are a small team, so your contribution will be both valued and necessary. We allow hybrid work (remote and office) with a flexible work schedule.
