Spot the Opportunity. Build the Idea. Make the Case.

​

Do you have a keen eye for spotting trends, connecting the dots and asking, “What opportunity could this create?”

 

We're looking for a Business Strategy & Growth Intern who is curious about businesses, industries and how companies grow.

 

You'll work alongside business leaders to research emerging trends, explore new markets and customer needs, and help turn promising ideas into well-researched business opportunities.

​

This isn't a role where you'll spend six months compiling information for someone else.

We want someone who can research, think, question, form a point of view & articulate it.

​

What You'll Get to Work On

🔎 Market Research & Opportunity Scanning

Develop a habit of looking beyond what's happening today to understand what could matter tomorrow.

You'll:

• Research industries, companies, market developments and emerging business trends

• Track changes in workforce, technology, HR and business practices

• Identify growing sectors, changing customer needs and potential market gaps

• Research competitors and adjacent service providers to understand how markets are evolving

• Spot patterns and translate research into “So what does this mean for us?”

​

💡 New Service Lines & Growth Opportunities

Help us explore where ScienTec could grow next.

You'll:

• Research potential new service offerings and adjacent business opportunities

• Explore unmet or emerging customer needs

• Identify potential target industries, customer segments and use cases

• Study how similar services are positioned and commercialised in Singapore and other markets

• Develop initial ideas around value proposition, target customers and routes to market

• Help assess whether an interesting idea could become a sensible business opportunity

 

Some ideas will progress. Some won't.

 

Learning how to distinguish an interesting idea from a viable opportunity is part of the experience.

​

📊 Turn Research into a Business Case

Finding information is easy. Making sense of it is harder.

You'll learn to turn research into structured recommendations by asking:

What is happening? → Why does it matter? → Where is the opportunity? → Who would buy it? → Why us? → What should we do next?

​

You'll:

• Synthesise research into clear business insights

• Size opportunities using available market and commercial data

• Identify assumptions, opportunities and risks

• Develop business concepts and initial proposals

• Prepare concise business cases, presentations and recommendation papers

• Back your ideas with credible evidence and sensible commercial reasoning

​

🧠 Ideate, Challenge & Contribute

You won't be expected to sit quietly in meetings taking notes.

We want you to:

• Participate actively in brainstorming and business discussions

• Ask thoughtful questions

• Challenge assumptions respectfully

• Bring an outside-in perspective

• Connect ideas across different industries and trends

• Suggest opportunities that others may not have considered

 

You should be comfortable saying:

 

“I found something interesting. Here's what I think it means — and here's what I think we could do about it.”

​

🗣 Engage, Present & Influence

A good idea only becomes useful when you can communicate it.

You'll have opportunities to:

• Speak with colleagues and business stakeholders to understand their perspectives

• Conduct structured fact-finding discussions

• Ask questions to uncover problems and opportunities

• Present your research and recommendations

• Defend your thinking when challenged

• Refine ideas based on feedback

​​

Requirements

You may be studying Business, Strategy, Marketing, Economics, Finance, Business Analytics or a related discipline.

 

 More importantly, we're looking for someone who is:

 

*CURIOUS

• You naturally research things because you want to understand why

*OBSERVANT

• You notice trends, patterns and opportunities others might overlook.

• *ANALYTICAL

• You can separate an interesting headline from a meaningful business insight.

*IDEATIVE

You enjoy generating ideas and imagining different possibilities.

*ARTICULATE

• You can organise your thoughts and express them clearly — in writing and in person.

*A SELF-STARTER

• You don't need every step prescribed before getting started.

*PERSONABLE & CONFIDENT

• You're comfortable approaching people, asking questions, engaging in discussion and presenting your views.

• You don't have to be the loudest person in the room.

• But you shouldn't be afraid to have a point of view.

 

What You'll Take Away

• By the end of your internship, we want you to be able to take an unfamiliar business question and confidently work through:

• Research → Analyse → Connect the Dots → Form a View → Build the Case → Present the Recommendation
