About

About LoadwiseAI data centers are becoming one of the fastest-growing electricity consumers in history. At the same time, power systems are increasingly driven by renewable generation, creating volatility in prices, carbon intensity, and grid conditions. Loadwise builds software that allows data center infrastructure to respond intelligently to these energy signals. We connect data centers directly to real-time energy markets and grid signals, enabling cost-optimal and carbon-aware operation of compute workloads and energy assets. Our goal is simple: Make sure the infrastructure powering humanity's most powerful technology runs on humanity's best and cheapest energy sources. To achieve that goal, we are backed and supported by top tier European energy and infrastructure VCs and business angels.

The Role

We are looking for a Founders’ Associate Intern to work directly with the founding team on the two things that matter most at this stage: winning early customers and keeping the company running while everything else is on fire. The core of the role is commercial: you will help build the company strategy, go-to-market approach, and drive the conversations we have with data center operators and energy market players. You will own projects end to end, not just support them. You will work directly with the founders, be present in the most important conversations, and have real influence over how Loadwise positions itself in the market. We value drive, curiosity, and people who care more about building something real than about what it says on their business card.

What You’ll Work On

Commercial & Go-to-Market

• Define and execute Loadwise’s commercial strategy, focused on data center operators and energy market players
• Track trends in AI compute, data center deployment models, and energy markets to inform positioning and outreach
• Drive the development of commercial materials and processes: pitch decks, case studies, pricing frameworks, deployment playbooks, and CRM setup

Strategy Projects and Founders’ Office

• Own strategic projects end to end: from initial research and stakeholder mapping to execution. An early example: set up a European demonstration project with data center operators, grid operators, and research institutions.
• Prepare board meetings, investor communication, financial models, and external speaking engagements
• Pick up what needs picking up and take full ownership of it when you do.

What We’re Looking For

Domain knowledge in energy or AI infrastructure is useful but not required. What matters more is that you are smart, reliable, and want to build something.

Background

• Strong academic track record from a top business, economics, engineering, or natural sciences program
• Early prior internship experience in a fast-moving tech company, startup, or consulting
• Experience building financial models and managing commercial processes
• Exposure to a technical or infrastructure business is a meaningful plus: clean-tech, energy, cloud, AI infrastructure

What Makes This Work

• You have a founder's mentality: You want to build something from scratch and see it work in the real world. You do what needs doing and you figure out what you don't yet know.
• You thrive in ambiguity: You can prioritize without being told what matters most.
• You write clearly: You prepare materials that do not need to be redone.
• You move fast and follow through: Things you own get done without reminders.
• You leverage tech: You treat AI tools as genuine productivity multipliers and use them to punch above your weight.
• You communicate clearly: Strong written and verbal communication in English. (Note: Conversational German is a strong plus for navigating local Berlin operations and vendors).

What We Offer

• High Autonomy, Zero Bureaucracy: You will be in the room where decisions are made. Not observing, contributing. The Founders’ Associate Intern role at a pre-seed company is a really high-leverage positions that exists at this stage of company building. We take that seriously.
• Your Setup: We expect every team member to treat AI tools as genuine force multipliers. We cover licenses for whatever keeps you moving. Top-of-the-line hardware, no approval process.
