Content Creator Intern (BM Speaking)About Us
At FinLit, we live by the ethos of “Make Impact Fun.” We believe financial knowledge should be simple, honest and empowering, not confusing, boring or gatekept.
We turn complex topics like financial literacy, investing, economics, entrepreneurship, adulting, politics and current events into content people actually finish, share and act on. You will find us on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and beyond.
But we do not just live online. Through community events and real conversations, we bring our audience together and turn knowledge into action.
Mr Money TV is our biggest brand, over 115,000 followers strong, on a mission to help Malaysians reach their first RM100,000. That is where most of your work will live, alongside our other brands.
And now we are looking for a Content Creator Intern (BM Speaking) to join our team and learn how a Bahasa content brand is built from the inside.
Content Creator Intern (BM Speaking)
If you can explain EPF, inflation or the latest Budget to your friends in Bahasa and have them say “oh, now I get it,” this is your playground.
You will work alongside our content team on our Bahasa podcast and videos. You will help with research, prep the shoots, and get real time in front of the camera, with people guiding you along the way. The topics are big: money, business, the economy, the whole messy business of adulting, and whatever is actually happening in Malaysia this week. If it touches how Malaysians make, keep or lose money, it is fair game.
The fun part is the translation. Taking something that sounds dry on paper and saying it the way a friend would, so a 28 year old in Puchong stops scrolling and thinks about their own money.
You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to be curious, willing to try, and eager to improve fast.
Key Responsibilities
️ Podcast Support and Hosting
- Support our Bahasa podcast from prep to shoot day, and co-host or host segments as you grow into it.
- Help prepare guest briefs and talking points so every episode has a clear angle.
- Keep it natural. Conversational, curious and never a lecture.
Research and Prep
- Scout topics across personal finance, economics and news, and bring us angles we would not have found on our own.
- Research before every shoot. Every number we publish carries a source and the year the data comes from.
- Draft scripts, outlines and talking points that sound like a person, not a press release. Your seniors will review and sharpen them with you.
Show Production
- Help produce shows by following our established format, from planning through to shoot day.
- Assist with setup, shoot logistics and coordination with guests and the team.
- Pitch ideas for new formats and series, not just new topics.
Social Content and Trends
- Create and present short-form content for Instagram, TikTok and beyond.
- Live in the feed. Spot trends early and suggest how they could fit our brand and our message.
- Learn to read what worked and what did not, and use it to improve the next piece.
Community
- Listen to what the audience keeps asking and turn it into content ideas.
- Help reply to comments and DMs like a person, not a brand account.
Events and Campaigns
- Tag along to events and community sessions, and appear on camera when needed.
- Sit in on brand campaign discussions and learn how we deliver what a client needs while still sounding like us.
Join us if you are:
- Genuinely curious about money and the real world. You already read about personal finance, the economy and the news. You ask questions because you want to know, not because someone told you to.
- Fluent in spoken Bahasa. Clear, natural and relatable. You can switch between casual and more serious tones without losing your audience.
- Naturally in tune with social media. You know Instagram and TikTok, you understand hooks, formats and pacing, and you can explain why a post blew up.
- Comfortable in front of the camera. You come across as yourself, you can talk to a lens or a guest, and you do not freeze when the red light comes on.
- A creative storyteller. You can take a complicated idea and make it land in sixty seconds.
- A quick learner. You take feedback well, ask good questions, and apply what you learn on the next piece.
- Organised and reliable. Research, scripts and files stay tidy with you, and you deliver on time.
- Someone who treats a flop as information. Not every post lands. You look at what went wrong, take the lesson and get on with the next one.
- Energised by a fast pace. You will be thrown into real work early. If that sounds exciting rather than scary, you will love it here.
Bonus points if you have hosted a podcast or show, run a content account of your own, or have a basic feel for shooting, framing and light.
What You’ll Learn
How a real media brand actually grows, not the theory version.
️ How to host a show that people finish, share and come back to.
How to talk about money and adulting like a friend, not a lecture.
How to read data and let it change what you make next.
What it takes to deliver for a client without losing your own voice.
Content from end to end: idea, research, script, shoot, publish, learn.
Direct mentorship from people who do this every day.
Why Join Us?
- You will be making real content from day one. Not mock projects. Actual episodes, actual events, actual audiences.
- You get room to experiment. If you have an idea, you do not need to win a committee over, you just need to make a good case.
- The pace is quick and the learning curve is steep, and that is the best part of the deal. Feedback comes fast and straight, so you will improve in months what might take a year somewhere slower.
- And your work will not sit in a folder. Thousands of Malaysians will see and hear it, and some of them will do something different with their money because of it.
- One more thing, because it is part of why this is fun: we have opinions about what we will not do. No stock tips. No taking money to pump anything. No party politics, though we will go hard at policy when it hits people’s wallets. And we never talk down to someone who feels behind on money, because most of our audience does.
