Haque Centre of Acting and Creativity – Business Development Executive

We are looking for interns to support our Business Development/Social Media Marketing activities. Be a part of a dynamic company with a casual work environment that values productivity over propriety. This position is especially suitable for candidates looking to expand their portfolios, as branching out is very much encouraged. You will be given the opportunity to try on different hats, and pick up new skills in the process. Those who show great initiative and willingness to learn will thrive as they will be given many opportunities to express their ideas and take charge of projects. 

There won't be much handholding in this company- you will be given a lot of freedom to create and innovate, but at the same time, you must also possess strong time management skills and be able to work independently.
