About Us

At FinLit, we live by the ethos of “Make Impact Fun.” As a trailblazer in digital media, we transform complex topics—financial literacy, investing, economics, politics, property, and current events—into engaging, accessible content across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and beyond.

But our mission is bigger than digital. Through high-level meetings, community events, and ambitious projects, we turn ideas into real-world impact. We’re looking for a high-potential intern to join the CEO’s Office as a Special Officer and get unprecedented hands-on exposure to leadership, management, and business strategy.

Position Summary

The Special Officer to CEO – Internship is a dynamic, high-exposure support role at the very centre of company leadership. You’ll work directly with our CEO—shadowing him during key meetings, managing priorities, supporting strategic and operational projects, and acting as a bridge between the CEO and the wider organisation.

This internship is a rare opportunity to learn the CEO’s thought process, see how real decisions get made, and contribute directly to projects that drive the company forward. If you want to experience a role akin to Chief of Staff, trusted advisor, project manager, and content creator—all in one—this is for you.

Key Responsibilities
  • Strategic & Operational Support:
Partner with the CEO to develop and implement strategic plans, monitor business initiatives, conduct research, and turn insights into actionable steps.
  • Calendar & Communication Management:
Help manage and prioritise the CEO’s time—overseeing scheduling, meeting preparation, travel logistics, and daily correspondence. Proactively review and flag critical emails.
  • Meeting & Event Coordination:
Attend management meetings, executive briefings, and external events with the CEO. Prepare agendas, take minutes, coordinate follow-up, and ensure all actions are tracked.
  • Stakeholder Engagement:
Liaise with internal leaders, board members, VIP clients, government officials, and partners. Help the CEO prepare for high-stakes engagements, making sure he is always ready with background info and talking points.
  • Special Projects & Initiatives:
Take the lead or provide key support on cross-functional projects, business development efforts, and strategic initiatives. Track progress, remove roadblocks, and report outcomes.
  • Content Creation & Social Media:
Capture photos or videos for the CEO’s personal channels, help craft content, and share stories or insights online (with the brand/content team).
  • Representation:
Represent the CEO at select meetings or events (as appropriate), conveying his position and reporting back key takeaways.
  • Confidential Support:
Manage confidential materials, strategy documents, and sensitive matters with the highest integrity and discretion.
  • Anticipatory Problem-Solving:
Always stay two steps ahead—identify issues before they arise, suggest solutions, and ensure the CEO’s priorities are never derailed.
  • Board & Governance Support:

Where relevant, assist with preparation for Board meetings, leadership retreats, and follow-up on board-related action items.

Why This Internship is Special
  • Direct Access & Mentorship:
Learn directly from the CEO—see his management style, decision-making process, and business philosophy up close.
  • Real Strategic Exposure:
Experience how a fast-paced digital media company is run at the top level. Take part in the management “war room,” not just watch from the sidelines.
  • Cross-Sector Relevance:
Learn skills that matter in corporate, government, and startup settings: project management, strategic thinking, executive communication, and stakeholder engagement.
  • Personal Growth & Impact:

Build your confidence, creativity, and professional toolkit in a high-trust, collaborative environment.

Who We’re Looking For
  • Passionate about financial literacy, digital media, and business strategy.
  • Eager to learn directly from senior leaders and take on fast-paced, meaningful work.
  • Organised, detail-oriented, and a proactive problem-solver who “owns” outcomes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communicator (especially in English).
  • Digitally savvy—comfortable with social media and basic content creation (photo/video with your phone or Canva).
  • Trustworthy, discreet, and able to handle confidential information.
Bonus Points
  • Previous leadership, project management, or event experience (clubs, societies, projects)
  • You follow FinLit, Mr Money TV, The FAQ Show, or The Coffee Break
  • Interested in executive communication, branding, or digital storytelling
What You’ll Learn
  • The art of leadership and high-level decision-making
  • How to manage business strategy, operations, and stakeholder relationships
  • Communication and content skills for executive presence
  • How great ideas become action in a modern, purpose-driven company
Duration

3–6 months, with possible extension or full-time offer for top performers.

Why Join Us?

This isn’t just an internship. It’s a front-row seat to leadership, strategy, and real business impact. Your voice matters, your learning is supported, and you’ll help shape the future of financial literacy across Southeast Asia.
