About the Job

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 a Working Student in Strategy, you’ll actively support our strategy and leadership teams in driving key initiatives—from investor communications to market analysis and business case development. You’ll gain hands-on experience in startup strategy and deep tech commercialization, and play a meaningful role in helping Greenlyte scale faster and smarter.

How you'll contribute

Specifically you will…

  • Conduct research on markets, policy landscapes, and technologies relevant to Greenlyte’s mission.

  • Support the development of business cases for new commercial and project opportunities.

  • Assist in preparing investor presentations, strategy briefs, and market intelligence reports.

  • Contribute to go-to-market planning for our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) plant and other future projects.

  • Track project milestones and risks across key strategic initiatives.

  • Help bring clarity and structure through documentation, visuals, and concise synthesis.

Your first 12 months in the role: expectations and deliverables

Months 0-3

  • Get to know our team, culture, and the fundamentals of our technology and business model

  • Support ongoing strategic initiatives, such as investor research, market scanning, and document preparation

  • Contribute to internal knowledge bases and help build templates for strategic deliverables (e.g., memos, pitch decks)

Months 3-6
  • Take ownership of specific workstreams within strategy projects (e.g., policy research, competitive landscape analysis)

  • Independently draft supporting materials for investor decks, business cases, or internal strategy notes

  • Help track deliverables across projects and improve documentation for alignment and transparency

Months 6-12
  • Build and maintain structured research outputs and insight repositories for recurring strategic topics

  • Contribute to long-term planning and modeling (e.g., go-to-market frameworks, opportunity sizing)

  • Get involved in cross-functional projects—such as go-to-market planning, funding preparation, or stakeholder engagement

About you
  • Enrollment in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program in business, engineering, economics, political science, or a related field

  • Genuine interest in climate tech, startups, and the challenge of scaling breakthrough technologies

  • A curious, structured mindset with the ability to learn quickly and simplify complex topics

  • Initial experience in consulting, venture capital, startups, or academic research is a plus

  • Confidence using PowerPoint and/or Notion; basic modeling skills in Excel or Sheets are beneficial

  • Fluency in English required; German skills are an advantage but not essential

What we offer
  • 20 days vacation plus public holidays to ensure you also have the down time needed to rest and recharge.

  • The possibility to grow and shape your role.

  • Working with founders who understand - and invest time in - the importance of building a healthy and sustainable organization.

  • Open and transparent communication on company development.
