Strategy and Growth Intern

About Cashew Cashew is a Singapore-based fintech startup that helps homeowners and buyers find the best mortgage deals. Our AI-powered platform compares 500+ home loan packages across all major Singapore banks, pairing smart technology with independent, unbiased advice from experienced mortgage advisors. We were founded by a fintech veteran who previously scaled Syfe to 400K+ users and USD 10B+ in AUM. AI is central to what we build and how we work. We are early-stage, fast-moving, and building the future of home financing in Singapore. The Role We are looking for a curious, motivated intern to help drive Cashew's strategy and growth efforts. You will work closely with the founder and get hands-on experience across multiple areas of the business. This is an internship where you will do meaningful work, not just observe. You will have support and guidance along the way, but we will also give you room to take initiative and make things your own. We are big believers in using AI to work smarter, and we want someone who shares that mindset. If you are the kind of person who is already experimenting with AI tools to get things done faster and better, you will fit right in. As an early-stage startup, new projects and opportunities come up all the time, which means your role can grow with you. What You Will Work On Marketing Outreach & EDMs Help plan, write, and send email campaigns (EDMs) to prospective and existing users, including segmentation, copywriting, and tracking performance. Support outreach efforts for partnerships, media, influencers, and B2B leads. Learn to manage the full lifecycle of a campaign, from brief to deployment to reviewing what worked. Explore how AI tools can help with copywriting, personalization, and automating parts of the outreach process. Social Media & Content Contribute to Cashew's social media presence across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and any new channels worth exploring. Create and schedule content that helps homeowners understand mortgages in a way that feels approachable (not corporate jargon). Track what performs, experiment with different formats (reels, carousels, threads), and help us figure out what resonates. Use AI tools to speed up content creation, brainstorm ideas, repurpose content across formats, or try things we have not thought of yet. New Growth Verticals Help identify and test new ways to reach users. This could include partnerships with property agents, co-marketing with personal finance communities, referral programs, or ideas you bring to the table. Research the Singapore mortgage and property landscape to spot opportunities the team has not explored yet. Opportunity Spotting Keep an eye out for interesting trends, competitor moves, or untapped audiences, and share your thinking with the team. Join events, engage in communities, and help represent Cashew where it makes sense. Propose and help run small experiments. If something works, we scale it together. If it does not, we learn from it and move on. As a startup, things evolve quickly. If you are curious and take initiative, your role will grow with you. Who You Are Currently pursuing or recently completed a bachelor’s degree from a top Singaporean institution. Your field of study matters less than your curiosity and willingness to learn. Proactive. You like figuring things out and are happy to ask questions when you need help. Decent writing skills. You do not need to be a copywriter, but you should be able to put together a clear, engaging email or social post. Comfortable picking up new tools and skills Interest in fintech, property, or personal finance. Comfortable with a bit of ambiguity. Startups do not always have a fixed playbook, and that is part of the fun. Why Cashew Real, meaningful work from day one. Work directly with the founder and learn how an early-stage fintech operates across product, marketing, partnerships, and operations. Your contributions will be visible and have a real impact on the business. Be part of a team that actively uses AI across the business, not just talks about it. You will learn how to leverage AI practically, not theoretically. Flexible arrangements (full-time or part-time available). A front-row seat to the intersection of AI, fintech, and property in Singapore.
