Business Development Intern

You would back up the marketing and business development team, and also lend a hand to the sales and customer service teams. The post presents it as practical contact with the commercial side of a biosciences firm.

• Research the market and track where the industry is heading.
• Spot customer groups worth approaching, and possible partners.
• Help produce marketing collateral.
• Back campaigns, both online and offline.
• Join discussions on marketing strategy.
• Assist sales and customer service with finding leads.
• Keep CRM records up to date.
• Put together presentations.
• Talk to clients when the need comes up.

The post adds that you would be learning alongside seasoned staff from the marketing and business development side.

You should be studying for a degree, or have finished one lately, in business, marketing, biotechnology, life sciences or a closely related area. The post also looks for:

• Good communication and customer handling, since you would deal with colleagues and outside parties.
• The ability to research markets and read data to say something useful about customers, rivals and trends.
• A basic grasp of how sales works and how leads are generated, plus interest in supporting business development.
• Knowledge of marketing basics, enough to help with campaigns and drafting content.
• Comfort with MS Office or comparable software for analysing data, making slides and writing documents.
• Organised habits, care with detail, and the ability to juggle several tasks when things move fast.
• Curiosity about biosciences or healthcare, and readiness to pick up technical product details.

The position is in Bangalore, onsite and full-time.

• Try a small research task. Choose one life sciences product area, find a few competitors and note your findings on a one-page sheet.
• Make a short slide deck on any topic. It shows you can turn raw information into something a team reads quickly.
• Read the basics of biotech and diagnostics. The post wants you to pick up technical product details, so some early curiosity helps.
• Keep one story ready about juggling several tasks, such as a college event or project.
• Practise writing a short, clear note to a client or partner, in plain language.
