Management Trainee Internship

Company: Blue Lava

Duration: 6–9 months (with potential for full-time conversion)

Location: Remote/Hybrid

Type: Paid Integrated Cross-Functional Traineeship

This is a hands-on, cross-functional traineeship where you'll gain experience in both business operations and brand development. You'll begin with broad exposure, then deepen into a specialization, with the potential to transition into a full-time role.

We're hiring 2 trainees — both will train together across all functions, then each will focus primarily on one specialization while maintaining cross-functional collaboration.

Months 1–3: Integrated Training Phase

Work across both Business Operations and Brand Development, collaborating on major initiatives.

Months 4–9: Specialization Stream

Transition into your primary specialization (Business Operations or Brand Development) based on your strengths, interests, and business needs — while continuing to contribute cross-functionally.

Post-Program:

The traineeship is designed as a pathway into full-time roles with expanded responsibilities and a revised compensation package, so you can continue growing with us beyond the program.

From day one, both trainees will work on real initiatives across all functions, learning how brand, systems, and growth connect.

Here with us, you'll gain the breadth of a generalist and the depth of a specialist, understanding the entire business system and building with us as the company grows.

Working with us means joining a culture built on values that guide how we work and grow together, wrapped in a spirit of warmth and respect. You'll engage in open communication through transparent conversations and feedback, where your voice truly matters.

You'll be empowered to take initiative, trusted to bring a proactive mindset, and supported by teammates who own their actions, value consistency, and focus on meaningful results. We bring intensity and passion to our work, pushing each other to be better than yesterday while staying rooted in integrity, intention, and lasting relationships.
