At Reapra, we're pioneering an innovative approach to venture building. Our core belief is in nurturing potential founders by dedicating ample time to develop their vision for addressing long-term systemic issues. We view our current startups as the initial building blocks of a brighter future for generations to come. Our primary focus is on individuals and their commitment to solving these very long-term challenges while not relying on trending technology or hot business ideas. This distinctive approach influences how we identify potential founders, initially through in-depth self-exploration, and how we operate internally—setting us apart from conventional companies and VC firms. 

We encourage you to apply to this Finance Associate role if you are: (1) curious about participating in a fun and engaging self-discovery process to give some long-term direction in your career path, (2) enthusiastic about the role of Finance in organisations but want to try something completely new, and (3) interested in co-creating novel systems and frameworks of learning related to Finance within venture building activities. 

This role will entail a discernment process called Intensive Foundation Design where you will use a model of self-understanding as a personal blueprint to enhance your learning and work throughout the project tasks and think about your own career options in the future. After completion of Foundation Design, you will dive right into a very dynamic, fast-changing set of project-related tasks while exploring how Finance can support the organisation’s long-term mission and vision. 

As part of the Alternative Finance Associate role, you will be responsible for the accounting, finance operation and treasurer activities of the group. Fundamental to the Company’s long-term mission and vision, you would be working closely with both internal and external stakeholders to address the Group’s operational and expansion needs. Depending on the time frame, you would be spearheading various responsibilities including bookkeeping, head-office reporting, statutory compliance submissions, data management, restructuring, consolidation, streamlining of operations and ad-hoc projects.

Job Title: Internship at Reapra Malaysia

Company Information: 

At Reapra, we are pioneering a very different way of building ventures. We believe in taking our time with potential founders in developing their vision of solving long-term systemic problems and see their startups today as being the first step to creating a future industry for the betterment of future generations. The people come and their commitments to these problems come first and their short-term ideas are just icing on the cake. Because of this approach, the way we source potential founders - initially through deep self-discovery - and operate internally is unlike most companies or VC firms.

We encourage you to apply to Reapra's very unique internship program if you are: (1) curious about participating in a fun and engaging self-discovery process to give some direction in your career path, (2) enthusiastic about the startup space, and (3) interested in co-creating completely new systems of sourcing and founder development.

This position might not be for you if you are prioritizing an internship opportunity that teaches technical skills or responsibilities in standard recruitment, VC deal sourcing, marketing or PR, or other corporate or VC responsibilities. We are creating something completely new in every process and project we start!

Your role will look to challenge the norms of founder sourcing and employee recruitment. We're talking about creative approaches that go beyond the usual platforms for investment sourcing and HR recruitment. As an intern, you'll collaborate on crafting new marketing, PR, and community building methods to connect with potential founders and employees. Think unstructured social engagement, pioneering events, and new communication channels. Your contributions might also extend to content and marketing activities that gradually educate the market on our novel venture building approach and ultimately help responding candidates progress to being considered by our Investment Committee. Ultimately, you will be one of the first builders of a new ecosystem of founders who look to solve long-term problems. Unlike traditional companies or other VC firms, this role will not be confined to standard HR recruiting techniques or investment analysis.

Join us to embark on a journey where you will help us redefine the art of sourcing and venture creation!

• Education: Currently pursuing or possessing a diploma/degree in any field (Marketing, Business, or a related field are encouraged to apply)
• Skills: 
• Experience with certain platforms or software. Comfortable with Google workspace, Slack, Canva & Adobe (design skill is a bonus)
• Excellent research and writing skills.
• Strong communication abilities.
• Good time management.
• Critical thinking skills.
• Self-starter.
• Experience: No Experience Required. No minimal experience needed in these fields. Beginners are very welcome. While this is not strictly an "HR" role, a background in coaching, marketing, business psychology or PR could provide an added perspective but is not necessary.
• Self-Understanding: Being in touch with how and why you operate in decision-making and actions is important. Self-awareness can contribute to greater learning and personal and team growth
• Open to Creating Something New: Embrace the opportunity to be part of creating something novel and impactful versus just improving on market-relevant technical skills
• Exploration and Learning: We value candidates with diverse interests and a desire for continuous exploration of various perspectives and domains, new ways of learning and ultimately, brave innovation.
• Passion for Startups and Entrepreneurship: We're seeking individuals who exude enthusiasm for the startup landscape. Your excitement will drive our innovative efforts in venture building
• Effective Communication: Effective and confident communication is essential. This includes a very high level of empathy and listening especially when managing very personal information alongside business considerations.
• Independence: The ability to work independently is crucial. You should be self-driven and capable of taking initiative
• Adaptability: Be comfortable without set tasks and willing to contribute across various functions, from 'sourcing' to marketing to admin task

Responsibilities:

• Co-develop, execute and update new systems to increase quality of founder sourcing in and around Malaysia and possibly other markets
• Organise events and meetings involving potential candidates in and around Malaysia
• Own and execute tasks to supplement new systems
• Start and run your own communities with Reapra frameworks to increase awareness and generate interest in its approach to venture building
• Co-develop or support PR, marketing, and other market outreach activities (content creation, social media and digital posting)
• Coordinate and co-create with the main team in Singapore as well as other stakeholders in the Reapra group
