Intern Commercial & Business Development (f/m/x) - #2147963

Are you ready to save the planet?

We are challenging the fundamental assumption that fuels must come from the ground. Our breakthrough direct air capture technology captures carbon from the atmosphere and produces hydrogen in parallel.

The clock is ticking. What are you waiting for?

Our goals are ambitious. We need people who are inspired and motivated to turn these aspirations into reality; to grow and develop with us.

As an Intern in Commercial & Business Development, you’ll be an integral part of our team, contributing directly to the development of first-of-a-kind climate tech projects. From building commercial partnerships and evaluating project business cases to executing market research and stakeholder analysis, you’ll gain first-hand experience at the intersection of strategy, project management, and deep tech commercialization.

How You'll Contribute

Specifically you will…

• Drive components of first-of-a-kind (FOAK) project initiatives from concept to execution.
• Own and manage planning tools that track timelines, workstreams, and deliverables.
• Prepare presentations and internal briefings that inform commercial and strategic decisions.
• Draft and refine commercial agreements including NDAs, MOUs, and term sheets.
• Shape project business cases by integrating commercial, technical, and regulatory insights.
• Conduct market and policy analysis across sectors and geographies relevant to our scaling roadmap
• Map stakeholders and identify strategic partners, contact leads, and reference projects.
