Events, Marketing & Communications Associate (Contract)

About QAI Ventures

QAI Ventures AG is a Swiss-headquartered global venture capital firm and ecosystem platform investing in Quantum Tech and Enabling Technologies across the advanced computing value chain. Operating at pre-seed through Series C, QAI uniquely combines a VC fund, accelerator programs (Switzerland, Singapore, Canada), and a corporate innovation offering.

Our Singapore office is a hub for the APAC region, running accelerator cohorts, building early-stage ventures, and engaging the region's deep tech ecosystem. This internship sits at the center of those activities.

The Role

This is a hands-on, high-impact associate role on contract basis for a recent graduate who wants to gain real experience at the intersection of deep tech, startup programs, and strategic communications. You will work directly with the QAI Ventures Singapore team to drive events, marketing, and communications for QAI as a firm and the early-stage ventures we build and support.

You will contribute meaningfully from day one: producing content, coordinating events, shaping brand narratives, and helping portfolio ventures establish their market presence. This role carries genuine responsibility and offers direct exposure to founders, investors, and the regional deep tech ecosystem.

• Coordinate with local agencies and freelancers on design, content, and campaign execution.
• Contribute to building marketing infrastructure for portfolio ventures: website content logic, messaging frameworks, and brand foundations.
• Help develop positioning and value propositions for early-stage deep tech ventures, translating complex quantum and AI technologies into clear, compelling narratives for customers, partners, and investors.
• Create and adapt central marketing and communication materials for ventures and for QAI Singapore.
