Carousell Future Business Leader Programme (Graduate Track)

The Role

This is not a typical corporate management trainee programme. It is a highly selective programme meticulously designed to maximize the potential of high potential individuals and develop autonomous, relentless operators - individuals we call "Barrels." A Barrel is an exceptional talent who is relentlessly resourceful in working backwards from desired outcomes, and making impact by solving problems and executing with high velocity. 

The Programme

This upcoming cohort will commence by July 2026. You will first go through a 3-month intensive immersion journey in the Founders Office, gaining fluency in data, finance and marketplace fundamentals. You will then go through 3 structured rotations spanning over the next 21 months in our core business engines - product, growth and commercialisation. In each rotation, you will report to a senior leader, and will be brought through a structured learning programme that will equip you with the suite of skillsets and playbooks that are critical in leading an online marketplace. You will apply these in real world situations that make direct impact on our community of users and customers. As you learn the ropes from our senior leaders and fellow teammates, you will simultaneously be involved in organisational capability building programmes that will shape the future of our business. Your goal is clear: to own a product, category, market, or growth engine upon the completion of this 24-month high-intensity talent incubator programme.

The Difference

• Direct access to the Group CEO: Graduate with an entrepreneurial mindset and vision, amplified by close interaction with the Co-founder and Group CEO.

• Co-create the AI strategy: Every rotation is biased towards direct ownership in leveraging our AI infrastructure as a force multiplier to solve user problems and translate technical capabilities to commercial and product breakthroughs.
