Who we are


We are growing rapidly and as the exclusive partner of Flywheel in SEA,  we offer many exciting opportunities to work with leading brands across multiple categories and key industry players. By joining us, you will work on the cutting edge of digital and social commerce in SEA, and experience what it takes to drive a successful ecommerce business end-to-end.


The team you will be part of

Our Talent & People Team is the heartbeat of our organization - championing a culture where people thrive and potential is unlocked. From attracting top talent and shaping employee experiences to driving development, engagement, and retention, the team plays a strategic role in building and maintaining a high-performing, empowered workforce. We are here to grow with the business and for the people behind it.


The part you will play

We are looking for a dynamic and creative Communications & Engagement Intern to support our regional People team in driving internal communications, culture initiatives, and employee engagement across our six-country footprint. This role is ideal for someone passionate about storytelling, community building, and creating impactful employee experiences, and who is excited to contribute ideas and initiatives that the regional team can shape and implement together. For the right candidate, the internship could lead to a full-time opportunity.




As a Communication & Employee Engagement Intern, you will take charge of 

  • Support the regional People team in planning and coordinating company-wide internal communication initiatives (newsletters, announcements, campaigns, and events), rather than owning them end-to-end.​
  • Draft and design engaging content and digital assets for internal platforms (emails, Slack/Workplace, intranet, etc.) for review and refinement by the regional team.​
  • Assist in organizing quarterly engagement programs, cultural celebrations, and regional events (both virtual and onsite), including proposing concepts and activities that the team can further develop.​
  • Partner with HR and country teams to support tracking of engagement activities and measurement of impact, maintaining accurate and timely data for the regional dashboards.​
  • Help maintain and update the internal communication calendar and employee engagement dashboard, ensuring alignment with regional priorities and timelines.​
  • Act as a culture ambassador by surfacing stories, ideas, and recognition opportunities to the regional team, who will then amplify these across the organization.​
  • Support employer branding content for social media and recruitment campaigns by preparing drafts, ideas, and assets for the team’s review and finalisation as needed.


What we are looking for - the ideal profile

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Communications, Marketing, HR, Psychology, or a related field.​
  • Excellent written and visual communication skills; hands-on with Canva or similar design tools.​
  • Passionate about people, culture, and storytelling, with the confidence to suggest new ideas and initiatives even when not leading them directly.​
  • Highly organized, self-driven, and comfortable working across multiple time zones and cultures.​
  • A proactive attitude and willingness to take ownership of tasks while working under the guidance of the regional team.​
  • Experience in student-led organizations, event planning, or social media management is a plus.


In return, you will be getting

  • Exposure to a regional HR and communications function across six countries.
  • Hands-on experience in employee engagement, culture, and internal branding projects.
  • Inclusive, supportive, and collaborative team culture.
  • Opportunity for permanent conversion based on performance and business needs.

Best of Both Worlds

We are a scale up: the sophistication of a small multinational, with the agility of a start-up. This means you get to work on cutting-edge projects, and besides your 'standard' job description, we love to see you show entrepreneurial initiative and want to see your take on how you can take your role and our company to the next level. Good ideas get implemented. You are the master of your own destiny.

Culture that Brings Out the Best

At Intrepid, culture is not just a buzzword, it is what we practice at work every day. We believe in collaboration over competition, transparency over politics, and willingness to learn over ego. You will be part of a team where people genuinely support one another, celebrate wins together, and face challenges head-on as one. We put our all into the work but we balance it with fun, whether that is through team lunches, after-work hangouts, events or shared laughter in the office. This is a place where you can thrive professionally while having a great time.

Grow Without Limits

Learning at Intrepid is constant and dynamic. You will have access to formal training through face-to-face sessions, coaching and our very own Intrepid Academy. On top of that, real-world experience such as leading clients, working with advanced tech, and mastering best-in-class processes will accelerate your growth every step of the way.
