NIMBUS Hiring! Full Time Business Development Intern in Federal Territory - Ricebowl

Business Development Intern

NIMBUS | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | Internship

Build international business. Find opportunities. Close deals.

NIMBUS is an international medical consumables business focused on continence care and OEM/private-label manufacturing. We work with manufacturing partners across Asia to supply distributors, healthcare businesses and brands across international markets.

We are looking for ambitious Business Development Interns who want hands-on experience finding and developing international business opportunities — and turning them into customers.

This is a commercial role. You will not simply be researching companies and producing spreadsheets. Your objective is to identify genuine opportunities, engage prospective customers, develop relationships and help turn prospects into real NIMBUS business.

We don't want people who simply follow a lead-generation playbook. We want people who can build their own.

International Markets

NIMBUS is actively developing opportunities across Australia, the US, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and ASEAN, with a particular focus on international distributors, wholesalers and healthcare businesses.

You will also be expected to identify new markets and opportunities beyond these regions where NIMBUS's products and manufacturing capabilities could have strong commercial potential.

What You'll Do

Find Opportunities

• Identify distributors, wholesalers, healthcare businesses and brands that could become NIMBUS customers.
• Research new markets and identify where there is a genuine commercial opportunity.
• Identify the right decision-makers within target organisations.
• Research their existing products, suppliers, brands and market positioning.
• Use every resource available to uncover opportunities — including AI tools, search engines, industry databases, trade directories, company intelligence platforms, industry associations, social media and other sources.
• Find creative and unconventional ways to identify potential customers that others may overlook.

Open Conversations

• Contact prospective customers through whatever channel is most effective — including LinkedIn, email, telephone, social media, industry networks, introductions and other appropriate channels.
• Use AI and other technology to research prospects, personalise outreach, identify decision-makers and improve the effectiveness of business development activity.
• Develop compelling, targeted outreach rather than relying on generic sales messages.
• Engage with senior decision-makers and introduce NIMBUS's products and manufacturing capabilities.
• Follow up consistently and professionally.

Develop Opportunities

• Qualify prospects and understand their requirements, volumes, pricing expectations and current supply arrangements.
• Support product discussions, quotations, samples and customer trials.
• Maintain accurate opportunity and pipeline information.
• Work with the NIMBUS team to move qualified prospects towards an initial order.

Close Business

• Take ownership of opportunities from initial contact through to commercial discussion.
• Help negotiate and structure opportunities alongside the NIMBUS team.
• Identify what is preventing a prospect from moving forward and find ways to overcome it.
• Contribute to converting prospects into customers and revenue.

What We're Looking For

You don't need extensive sales experience. We are looking for people with commercial instinct, initiative, resourcefulness and drive.

We're particularly interested in people who:

• Don't wait to be told where to look for customers — you figure it out.
• Are comfortable experimenting with new tools, technologies and approaches.
• Use AI intelligently to research, analyse, identify prospects and improve their productivity.
• Can find information and connections that aren't immediately obvious.
• Are willing to try different approaches when the first one doesn't work.
• Are comfortable picking up the phone, sending a message, approaching someone through an unconventional channel or finding an introduction.
• Think creatively about how to get in front of the right decision-maker.
• Can communicate clearly and confidently with businesses and senior professionals.
• Are persistent without being pushy.
• Take ownership and don't need to be chased.
• Can manage multiple prospects and follow-ups systematically.
• Are motivated by results and enjoy seeing their work turn into something tangible.

What You'll Gain

You'll gain practical experience in:

• International B2B sales
• Business development and prospecting
• Lead generation and qualification
• Sales pipeline management
• Negotiation and commercial discussions
• International market entry
• Distributor and wholesale networks
• Healthcare and medical consumables
• Global supply chains and manufacturing
• AI-powered business development
• Working with senior decision-makers

Compensation & Incentives

This is a performance-based internship with the opportunity to earn commission on business you help generate.

• Commission is paid on closed NIMBUS orders attributable to your business development activity.
• The more business you successfully generate, the more you can earn.
• The commission structure will be explained during the interview.
• High-performing interns may have the opportunity to continue working with NIMBUS beyond the internship.
• You'll have the flexibility of hybrid working, with time in the NIMBUS office alongside remote working.

Why NIMBUS?

This is an opportunity to work inside a growing international business where your work can directly generate revenue — and successful deals are rewarded.

You'll be working on live commercial opportunities across international markets, not simulated sales exercises. If you identify a prospect, develop the relationship and help convert it into a customer, that business is real — and you participate in the success.

You'll work closely with the NIMBUS leadership team and gain exposure to how international deals are actually developed, negotiated and closed.

We're looking for people who want to build something, not just complete an internship.
