Founders Associate Internship


Who Are We?

Founded in 2020, GetSolar is venture-backed by regional investors including Earth VC, Investible, and ENGIE, one of the world’s largest renewable energy companies. We’re also the only renewable energy company listed in Holon IQ’s 2023 Southeast Asia Climate Tech 50.

Here at GetSolar, we are making getting solar as easy as signing up for broadband with our zero upfront cost, rent-to-own solar plans. We aim to solarise every rooftop in the region for residential and commercial property owners.

Our dedicated team is the driving force behind our mission, which is why we’re committed to fostering a culture of excellence and innovation.



Who Do We Look For?


You are Company and Customer-First

If you join, you are a believer in our vision, mission, and product. You will become our spokesperson, dedicated to continually enhancing the lives of our customers.

You are an “A” team player

If you join, you will uphold the highest standards and strive to give your best. You will support your teammates, embracing challenges and celebrating successes together, all while contributing to a fun and positive environment where everyone enjoys what they do.

You are a Changemaker

If you join, you will act fast, make bold decisions, and embrace innovation. The sky’s the limit!

GetSolar is not for everyone, but if this sounds exciting, please read on. You’ll probably love it here.



The Opportunity


This is not a standard internship. You will work directly with our Cofounder and COO, Luke Ong, across every function in the business — Finance, People & Culture, Sales Ops, and Market Expansion. You will own projects end-to-end, not support them from the side.

If you need a detailed job description to figure out what to do each week, this role is not for you. If you thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and get uncomfortable when things aren't improving, read on.



Your Role


Philippines Market Entry

  • Own the groundwork — regulatory research, legal structure mapping, initial BD contact list, competitive landscape
  • Coordinate with external parties and flag key decisions to Luke with clear options and recommendations


Singapore Sales Operations

  • Support our Head of Singapore Sales, on Sales-Operations projects — CRM hygiene, pipeline tracking, reporting, process documentation
  • Help design and document sales workflows as we scale from one to three markets


Finance Operations

  • Drive automation of management accounts reporting with our Finance Manager
  • Build and maintain a live dashboard covering key financial position metrics, forecasts, tracking results against milestones


People and Talent

  • Refine our end-to-end hiring process — JD drafting, sourcing, headhunter engagement, candidate pipeline management
  • Support Performance Review cadence and OKR tracking across the company
  • Revamp our Learning & Development workspace in Notion — HR documentation, company wiki, OKR dashboards


Fundraise Support

  • Support on all corporate development and fundraising efforts



Your Credentials


  • 3+ years work experience minimally. You must have worked in or around high-growth startups before and have created value. Consulting, Investments, or Banking background is a plus.
  • Bachelors or MBA or Masters equivalent education background.
  • Financially literate — you can read a P&L, build a financial model, and think in unit economics.
  • Strong writer — clear, direct, no fluff.
  • Low ego, high ownership — you do what needs doing, including unglamorous work.
  • What will make you exceptional in this role: You have a bias toward outcome over activity. You close loops. You don't wait to be told something is broken before fixing it.



What’s In It For You


  • Direct access to a founder managing a multi-market, investor-backed business in a growth stage.
  • Exposure across finance, sales, people, and market expansion simultaneously
  • An internship stipend.
  • A clear, merit-based conversion path to a full-time role.



Contract Type and Location


You must be able to commit to the internship full-time (5 days a week) for a minimum of 6 months. The role will be based in Singapore with an immediate start date. Candidates who are not in Singapore need not apply.
