About darwin

At darwin, we’re building the leading platform to assess and manage business impacts, dependencies and risks on biodiversity and nature. We combine AI, big data and ecological science to help companies quantify and reduce their nature footprint—something previously seen as too complex or intangible to measure.

🌍 Why now?

Biodiversity is emerging as the next major frontier in corporate sustainability—beyond carbon. Regulatory pressure (CSRD, TNFD, EU taxonomy) and growing awareness of nature-related financial risks are driving companies to integrate biodiversity into core strategy and reporting frameworks.

⭐ Our mission

Our mission is to make biodiversity measurable, actionable, and central to business decisions. Through our SaaS platform & API, we help companies and funds understand and mitigate their financial exposure to nature-related risks, comply with emerging regulations, and design differentiated, nature-positive strategies. Ultimately, we enable them to build resilient supply chains by addressing biodiversity impacts linked to raw material procurement.

🚀 Momentum

We’ve raised €1.5M in pre-seed funding from top-tier investors. Our platform is already in use by a dozen leading consulting firms (e.g., Deloitte, KPMG, Utopies) and live in beta on a number of projects. We are launching publicly this spring and aim to become Europe’s reference platform for biodiversity footprint management within 5 years.

About the role

As our Business Associate Intern, you’ll work hand-in-hand with our Founders on a variety of high-impact initiatives, contributing directly to the growth and success of darwin. This is a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience in a fast-paced, early-stage startup and gain 360° exposure across business development, marketing, customer success and operations.

You’ll operate at the heart of the business and have a front-row seat to what it takes to build and scale a company from the ground up. If you’re scrappy, proactive, and thrive in dynamic environments — we’d love to hear from you!

Your mission

You’ll work closely with our CEO on:

• Business development: Drive outbound prospecting, lead qualification, CRM management, and pipeline building.
• Marketing & communication: Support content production (e.g., blog articles, monthly newsletter, website, etc.), manage events & partnerships, and contribute to comms/PR initiatives.
• Customer success & support: Help onboard and support consulting firms and corporate clients, support user research and community animation.
• Finance & operations: Assist with reporting, market analysis, and internal structuring tasks across sales ops.

What we’re looking for

• End-of-studies internship in a top business school (or equivalent), with first experiences in high-intensity environments (e.g. startups, consulting, banking, growth roles, VC etc.).
• A true Swiss army knife 🛠️: you’re comfortable operating across different business environments (ops, marketing, finance, customer success). You know how to structure a solid deck, build a clean Excel model, manage a CRM or coordinate an event — and you enjoy switching between all of these.
