Founder's Office Intern
Location: Pune (Full Time, In Office)
Experience: 0–1 year
Internship Duration: 2 to 3 Months
At Firstlight, we're building more than an influencer marketing agency, we're building a modern marketing company.
The Founder's Office works directly with the founder across business development, strategy, operations, finance, hiring, and special projects. No two days are the same. One day you might be pitching to a brand, the next you could be researching potential clients, helping improve internal processes, raising invoices, or supporting hiring decisions.
We're looking for someone who's naturally curious, resourceful, highly organized, and enjoys figuring things out. If you like taking ownership, learning quickly, and being involved in different parts of a growing business, you'll thrive in this role.
Role Description
This is a full-time, in office internship at our Pune Office.
As a Founder's Office Intern, you'll work closely with the founder on initiatives across business development, operations, finance, hiring, and company growth.
A significant part of your role will involve helping grow the business by identifying prospective brands, building relationships, supporting pitches, and eventually owning the client acquisition process from first outreach to onboarding.
Alongside business development, you'll gain exposure to the operational side of running a company—from finance and hiring to internal systems and cross-functional projects.
This is a high-ownership role that rewards initiative, curiosity, and the ability to think independently. Rather than following the same routine every day, you'll be exposed to different functions of the business and gradually take ownership of key initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
• Research and identify brands, decision-makers, and potential partnership opportunities.
• Support business development through outreach, meetings, follow-ups, and relationship building.
• Assist in creating pitch decks, proposals, and strategy presentations for prospective clients.
• Gradually take ownership of the client acquisition journey—from outreach and pitching to onboarding and handover to the Client Servicing team.
• Raise invoices, maintain basic financial records, and assist with P&L tracking and reporting.
• Support hiring by posting job openings, screening applications, coordinating interviews, and assisting with recruitment.
• Assist with resource planning and day-to-day operational coordination across teams.
• Help improve internal workflows, documentation, SOPs, and other strategic initiatives as the company grows.
What We're Looking For
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong problem-solving and critical thinking ability.
• Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail.
• Curious, proactive, and comfortable working with ambiguity.
• Confident speaking with clients and building professional relationships.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Strong research skills and the ability to learn quickly.
• Comfortable using Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and AI tools like ChatGPT.
• Passion for startups, business, marketing, and building companies.
