Market Research Intern

About Pump'Am

Pump'Am is building simple, practical products for African roads.

Our first product, the Pump'Am P1, is a pocket-sized portable air compressor designed to help drivers handle tyre-pressure emergencies without relying on a vulcanizer or external power source.

We distribute exclusively B2B, working with fleet operators, OEM vehicle distributors, and corporate fleets across Nigeria.

In May 2026, we presented the P1 at the CFAO Suzuki model launch in Lagos. We're now expanding our commercial presence beyond Lagos.

And we want you to help us map Abuja.

The Role

We're looking for a Market Research Intern based in Abuja to map the city's commercial fleet landscape.

This is not a traditional sales role.

You'll spend four weeks researching and building intelligence on:

• Logistics & delivery companies
• Corporate fleets
• Transport operators
• Mobility & ride-hailing businesses
• Rental & leasing companies
• Automotive businesses
• Companies operating significant vehicle fleets

You'll investigate:

• Who operates the fleets?
• How large are they?
• How are their vehicles used and maintained?
• What tyre-related challenges do they face?
• Who makes fleet and procurement decisions?

You'll identify relevant Fleet Managers, Operations Managers, Procurement Leads, Transport Managers and other decision makers, and build a structured database of your findings.

What You'll Do

Week 1 — Map

Build a broad database of Abuja's commercial fleet ecosystem.

Week 2 — Investigate

Research fleet sizes, operations, vehicle usage and maintenance practices.

Week 3 — Validate

Conduct conversations and additional research to validate your findings.

Week 4 — Prioritise

Identify and rank the highest-potential companies for Pump'Am's commercial team to approach.

You'll submit weekly research reports to the Pump'Am team.

Who We Are Looking For

You are:

• A final-year university student or recent graduate
• Based in Abuja
• Curious and naturally investigative
• Comfortable speaking with people you don't know
• Organised and detail-oriented
• Able to work independently
• Comfortable researching online and offline
• Comfortable working with spreadsheets and presenting findings

An interest in business, logistics, transportation, automotive or B2B commerce is a plus.

No prior sales experience required.

What You'll Get

• Pump'Am Internship Certificate
• LinkedIn Recommendation
• A real B2B commercial research project for your portfolio
• Exposure to the Nigerian automotive, logistics and fleet ecosystem
• Performance-based commission on qualifying leads that convert into confirmed Pump'Am orders
• Potential opportunity to continue with Pump'Am in a commission-based commercial role after the internship
