At Exness, we are not just a leading trading broker—we’ve reimagined what it takes to be a leader. With 2,000+ people across 13 countries, we combine scale, care, and real tech to make trading better for over a million clients globally.

Recognised globally as a Best Place to Work, we’re a people-first company where long-term wins always matter more. As part of our team, you will shape the future of fintech with real technology, care, and purpose.

Why this role matters

As a Partnership Management Intern, you will support the Senior Partnership Manager for South Africa in growing and retaining Exness's network of Introducing Brokers (IBs). You will work across the three priorities of the portfolio: keeping existing partners active, helping growing partners attract more traders, and onboarding new partners.  Your work covers partner research, portfolio reporting, competitor tracking, enablement material, event support and CRM discipline. The main goal is to own the research, reporting and coordination behind partner conversations, so the PRM spends more time with partners, while you learn how a partnership business is built in Sub-Saharan Africa's most strategic market.  The role sits inside an FSCA-regulated environment, so compliance-first thinking is part of everything you do. You work under supervision and do not negotiate commercial terms, give financial advice, or represent Exness to partners independently.

The role is based in our Cape Town in South Africa. 

What you'll actually do

• Prepare weekly and monthly portfolio snapshots (partner retention, active traders, first-time traders) from Salesforce and Tableau. Flag partners whose activity is dropping. Keep Salesforce records, segment tags and meeting notes current.
• Build and maintain a pipeline of potential partners in priority provinces: trading educators, academies, signal providers, content creators and student societies. Research each prospect's audience, business model and current broker before outreach.
• Track competitor broker partner offers in South Africa (rebate levels, payout terms, events, campaigns) using public sources and statutory disclosures. Compile a quarterly competitor summary and log competitor feedback from partner business reviews.
• Prepare onboarding packs, guides and FAQs on partner tools, payouts and Exness propositions. Coordinate partner welcome packs with the merchandise vendor and track spend against approved budgets and gift-value limits.
• Pre-screen partner-facing material, social content and event collateral against the Compliance & Marketing Risk Matrix (South Africa) before routing to Marketing and Compliance for sign-off. Maintain an approvals log. The intern screens; Compliance approves.
• Support planning and logistics for partner events, roadshows and campus programmes: venues, attendee lists, run sheets and registration tracking. Produce post-event reports covering attendance, sign-ups and conversion.
• Draft partner newsletters, meeting recaps, follow-up emails and broadcast messages for PRM review and approval. Schedule partner business reviews and track agreed action items to completion.
• Own one defined project over the internship, such as a partner success-story series, a partner segmentation dashboard, or an onboarding-journey improvement. Present findings and recommendations to the team at the end of the internship.

Who we’re looking for

• Bachelor's degree in progress (final year) or recently completed in Business, Commerce, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Information Systems or a related field. No regulatory qualification (such as RE5) is required, as the role does not involve rendering financial services.
• Any of: a previous internship, student society or event leadership, part-time sales or customer service. Basic understanding of forex and CFD markets. Personal trading experience (including demo), investment society membership, or familiarity with the creator and affiliate economy is an advantage.
• Strong Google Sheets (pivot tables, lookups, basic charts). Basic data analysis and the ability to turn numbers into a short summary. Structured research and business writing. PowerPoint or Canva. Working knowledge of TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X, where most partners operate. CRM experience (Salesforce) and confident use of AI tools for research and drafting are advantages.
• Ownership and reliability: finishes what they start without chasing. Attention to detail with data and documents. Commercial curiosity about how partners make money. Discretion with confidential partner and client data. A compliance mindset: asks before anything goes public. Entrepreneurial thinking and comfort with a fast-moving environment.
• Clear, professional written and spoken English; another South African language (isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Afrikaans) is an advantage at partner events. Works with Marketing on brand and compliance sign-off, BD Ops on dashboards, and Compliance on approvals. Holds weekly check-ins with the mentor. Presents findings to the team confidently.
