About the Role

We’re building a new solution at ACKO to help D2C brands and small businesses unlock greater consumer trust and deliver a superior post-purchase experience. We’re looking for a Business & Program Management Intern to help us bring this vision to life by supporting merchant acquisition, onboarding, and GTM operations.

This is a high-ownership role where you’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, build strong relationships with merchants, and help define the playbook as we scale.

What You’ll Do

• Market Research & Outreach: Identify and qualify potential partners through proactive research, inbound interest, and participation in relevant forums or events.

• Merchant Engagement: Support outreach and initial conversations with merchants and brands to build trust and generate interest.

• Program Ownership: Manage the lifecycle of onboarding — from documentation and integration setup to go-live coordination — collaborating with product and operations teams.

• Relationship Building: Build lasting connections with client stakeholders such as founders, marketers, and operators; act as a bridge between their needs and internal teams.

• Community & Retention: Drive engagement beyond onboarding — encourage testimonials, coordinate showcases, and foster a sense of partner community.

• GTM Enablement: Contribute to building structured GTM assets such as decks, FAQs, templates, and onboarding playbooks.

• Feedback & Insights: Capture partner feedback and market insights to help refine product features, GTM messaging, and operational processes.

What We’re Looking For

• 0–1 years of experience or interest in business development, partnerships, or program management — ideally in D2C, SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, or platform-based businesses.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to engage with founders and decision-makers.

• Strong ownership mindset — proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to close loops.

• Comfort working in a dynamic, early-stage environment where playbooks are being written.

• A passion for building relationships, solving problems, and shaping how early-stage products go to market.

Why This Role?

• Be part of a high-potential new initiative backed by ACKO’s trusted brand.

• Work at the intersection of BD, program management, and GTM strategy.

• Experience the 0→1 journey — helping shape the product, process, and customer experience.

• Learn directly from cross-functional leaders and open doors to full-time opportunities in BD, Program Management, or GTM.

If you’re excited by ownership, enjoy building from scratch, and love speaking with founders and business owners — we’d love to talk.
