Job description

Most internships teach you how to sit in meetings. This one throws you into the field.

At Farmio, we’re building one of Singapore’s fastest-growing food supply platforms — supplying eggs, oil, rice, and essential ingredients to hawkers, cafés, restaurants, and F&B businesses islandwide. We’re looking for someone hungry, resourceful, and willing to do whatever it takes to help us grow.

This is not a “watch and learn” internship. You’ll be on the ground talking to hawkers, visiting warehouses, collecting customer insights, testing growth ideas, solving operational problems, and helping the team execute fast.

If you like ownership, action, and startup energy — keep reading.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Visit hawker stalls, coffeeshops, and F&B outlets
• Speak directly with customers and gather feedback/testimonials
• Help run product sampling campaigns on the ground
• Support supplier, warehouse, and operational coordination
• Assist with partnership outreach and business development
• Execute growth experiments and marketing initiatives
• Work closely with leadership on real business problems
• Help the team get things done — even if it means rolling up your sleeves

One day you may be interviewing customers.

The next day you may be helping execute a field activation at a hawker centre.

That’s startup life.

Who We’re Looking For

We care more about attitude than perfect resumes.

You’ll fit in well if you:

• Are proactive and resourceful
• Enjoy talking to people
• Learn quickly and adapt fast
• Don’t wait to be told what to do
• Are comfortable working on the ground
• Have a “figure it out” mentality
• Want real startup exposure instead of corporate busywork

Bonus points if you:

• Are curious about startups, operations, or growth
• Have previous sales, marketing, or customer-facing experience

What You’ll Gain

• Real ownership and responsibility
• Direct exposure to startup growth strategy
• Hands-on operational and commercial experience
• Mentorship from company leadership
• Fast learning environment with steep growth opportunities
• Opportunity to convert into a full-time role after internship

Strong performers may be offered a permanent role after the internship period!

This Role Is Perfect For Someone Who Wants To

1. Experience startup life firsthand
2. Build commercial and operational skills quickly
3. Work directly with founders and leadership
4. Learn business by doing, not just observing
5. Be part of a fast-growing company with real traction
