In the process, they reduce 3.5 tons of Co2 emissions per battery. Battery recycling is an emission-intensive chemical process that causes environmental damage and harms people engaging with it. Their cutting-edge technology rejuvenates batteries without damaging them, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and avoiding the need for energy-intensive recycling.

Role Description:

This role offers hands-on exposure to applied research within a fast-paced cleantech startup, contributing directly to thought leadership, strategy development, and impact-driven decision-making.

● Track trends, regulations, and innovations relevant to battery lifecycle management and energy transition
● Support benchmarking of competitors, technologies, and global best practices
● Collaborate with fundraising, marketing, and technical teams to align research insights with business needs
● Document sources clearly and maintain structured research repositories

Requirements

● Strong research, analytical, and critical thinking skills
● Ability to synthesize complex information into clear, concise insights
● Comfortable working with reports, academic papers, and policy documents
● Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
● Proficient in Google Workspace; familiarity with Excel, Notion, or reference tools is a plus
● Organized, self-driven, and able to manage multiple research tasks independently
● Interest in climate action, circular economy, energy transition, or sustainability innovation

Learning Opportunities

● Hands-on experience conducting applied research for a cleantech startup
● Exposure to sustainability, energy, and battery-related policy and market landscapes
● Development of skills in research synthesis, insight generation, and strategic analysis
● Opportunity to contribute to thought leadership content, grant research, and strategy inputs
● Mentorship and guidance from experienced professionals in sustainability and innovation

What We Offer

● Real-world exposure to research and strategy in a sustainability-focused startup
● Flexible remote working arrangement within an international team
● Mentorship, feedback, and professional development support
● Volunteer Agreement, certificate of completion, and reference letter upon successful completion
