Become part of Tanso and decarbonize industries with us.
What if the impact of your role extended beyond a job title?
Not through marketing spin. Not through vague "purpose-driven" messaging. But through software that helps industrial companies understand, manage and actively reduce their environmental impact.
That's what Tanso is building. And it's one of the reasons people join us.
Your role
To support during a period of four to six months, working on several topics; a new module going to market, a business case that decides whether we enter a new segment or an internal process that needs to be rebuilt before it breaks, we are looking for a Founder's Associate Intern (f/m/x).
As Founder's Associate Intern, you'll join the small team that works directly with our CEO and management on Tanso's highest-priority initiatives – the ones that are too new, too urgent or too cross-functional to sit neatly in one department.
You'll get real responsibility early, honest feedback constantly, and a front-row seat to how a B2B software company actually gets built.
In exchange, we expect you to push. This is a demanding role in a demanding team, and the people who thrive here are the ones who treat the time as a chance to compress a year’s learning into a few months.
Your profile
- You're studying towards or have recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree with strong results, with previous internship experience in a startup, consulting, VC or a similarly demanding environment.
- You think and act like a founder: proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, and you take ownership without being asked twice.
- You're highly structured and analytical – you can break a vague question into a plan and come back with an answer, not a list of open points.
- You're comfortable with technology and AI tools, and you're curious to try building things yourself.
- You have a practical interest in sustainability and sustainable regulations that lets you hold your own in product and customer discussions.
- You have exceptional written and verbal communication skills in both German and English.
- You get excited by the idea of growing a startup into a successful scale up.
This is a four to six month internship.
Our team
We're a diverse group of people, and that diversity is what makes us great. We bring unique perspectives to everything we do and are always eager to learn from each other. We work in cross-functional teams to tackle ambitious challenges, actively seek feedback and be the best versions of ourselves.
