Your role

As an Sustainability research Intern, you will sit at the intersection of regulatory research, product development, and knowledge sharing.

You’ll work closely with our research team to monitor and interpret sustainability regulations and frameworks – including CSRD, EU Taxonomy, EUDR, PPWR and more – and help translate that knowledge into scalable features within our platform. Your work will directly support nearly 100 companies in understanding and acting on their sustainability obligations.

Your responsibilities include:

• Product building – Support the development of sustainability framework features within our platform, working across internal no/low-code systems and multiple technologies to turn regulatory knowledge into tangible product
• Regulatory research – Monitor and synthesise the latest developments across frameworks like the CSRD, EU Taxonomy, EUDR, and CBAM, keeping the team ahead of the curve
• Content creation – Produce high-quality written content including sustainability white papers, articles, and platform materials that make complex topics accessible to our customers
• Thought leadership & knowledge sharing – Support the preparation of webinars and external events, and help share insights internally to keep the wider team informed
• AI & workflow optimisation – Actively explore and apply AI tools to improve research efficiency, content output, and day-to-day workflows across the team
• General support – Pitch in across the research and sustainability team where needed – whether that’s helping customer-facing teams with technical questions or contributing to new framework opportunities as they emerge
