Founding Growth & Strategy Intern (Full-Time Track)

About the role

Sayal is a fintech and mobile trading platform for Qatar and the wider region, now moving from product foundation to rapid user acquisition. It is looking for an entrepreneurial growth intern who will work directly with the Founder/CEO to design, test and run high-leverage growth experiments. The role starts as a remote internship and is structured as a proving ground to convert into a full-time leadership role once growth and funding milestones are reached.

Key responsibilities

• Design referral systems, waitlist mechanics, campus ambassador programs and community-led campaigns that turn early users into advocates.
• Analyze what drives financial curiosity, trust and action among young professionals and university students in Qatar/MENA, and build campaigns around those triggers.
• Run unconventional experiments such as guerrilla campus activations, creator partnerships, short-form video trends and local partnerships, testing ideas quickly and doubling down on what converts.
• Work with the product team on onboarding drop-offs, user feedback and activation metrics, translating user psychology into UI/UX and feature improvements.

Required profile

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Economics, Marketing, Psychology, Computer Science or a related field (required).
• Natural intuition for why people share, what makes a brand feel high-status yet accessible, and how to stand out in a noisy feed without sounding corporate.
• High agency and a bias for action: able to take a rough goal, figure out the channels, run a test and measure results.
• Bonus: previous experience at an early-stage startup, fintech company, venture club, or scaling a personal project, creator page or student organization from scratch.

What we offer

• Flexible remote culture, working asynchronously with regular strategy syncs with the founder.
• Compensation tailored to each candidate (stipend, performance incentives and early-stage equity pathways) discussed privately after shortlisting.
• A prioritized track to a full-time, paid role once growth and funding milestones are met.
