Internship - Product & Commercial Operations

At Flexion, we're building the intelligence layer powering the next generation of humanoid robots. Our mission is to accelerate the transition from fragile prototypes to real-world humanoid deployment.

Within a few months we’ve gone from our first line of code to deploying real humanoid capabilities with our partners. Learn more about Flexion at flexion.ai

The Role:

As our Product & Commercial Operations Intern you'll work directly with the Product Lead across customer discovery, partnership operations, and proposal preparation. You'll be exposed to real customer conversations, live contract processes, and strategic decisions about which opportunities to pursue. The work is operational and detail-oriented, but the context is strategic - this is a front-row seat to how an early-stage robotics company brings a deeply technical product to market.

Requirements

Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in engineering, business, or a related field - ideally comfortable at the intersection of technology and business

Strong written communication; you'll be drafting documents that go to external partners, not just internal notes

Organized and detail-oriented; contract tracking and proposal assembly require precision

Comfortable with ambiguity - we don't have a playbook, you'll help us build one

Genuine curiosity about robotics, AI, or industrial technology; you don't need to be an expert but you should want to understand what our product does and why it matters
