Intern, Business Operations (Hospitality/Travel)

About the Role

GUAVA International is offering a business operations internship based in Singapore for a final-year student or a recent graduate who wants practical exposure in business operations, supply chain, partnerships, or commercial management. The role is built for someone who enjoys fixing problems, coordinating with different teams, refining workflows, and helping convert ideas into action that benefits businesses, communities, and the environment.

This position provides hands-on involvement in regional operations across Asia and includes work that contributes to measurable business and sustainability outcomes. It is broader than a typical single-function internship and gives exposure to operations, logistics, project coordination, stakeholder engagement, and process improvement.

The internship is intended to be a route into a full-time position. A minimum commitment of six months is required, and candidates who perform strongly, show leadership potential, and align with the company’s values may be considered for full-time employment after the program ends.

GUAVA International partners with governments, destinations, global hospitality brands, airlines, and corporate organizations across Asia and beyond. The environment is fast-paced and international, and it values initiative, teamwork, adaptability, and a strong eye for detail.
