Job description

Who we are

ESGmax is an AI-native, regulation-agnostic ESG platform built for a world that doesn’t stand still. We believe ESG can’t be managed with static tools, fixed templates or one-size-fits-all frameworks.

We use AI to help companies make sense of complex, fragmented ESG data — turning it into something structured, reusable and alive over time. Not just to report, but to understand, adapt and decide better as regulations, businesses and expectations evolve.

Our vision is simple: ESG data should work like modern data — flexible, connected and intelligent — not like paperwork from another decade.

Our vibe

We care about what we build and how we build it.

We aim high, but we don’t do it alone.

We work side by side. When someone gets stuck, we step in. When someone knows more, they share. Helping each other is how we move faster, not a nice extra.

We value clarity over noise. We say things as they are, fix what doesn’t work, and don’t hide behind processes or titles.

We like people who take responsibility, stay curious and are comfortable learning in public — asking questions, making mistakes, improving.

We move with intention. We build what’s useful, cut what isn’t, and keep things simple even when the problem is not.

How we work

✨ Trust & initiative: We trust you to take ownership, make decisions, and learn fast.

🏖️ Work-life balance: What matters is what you deliver, not when you clock in.

🏡 Flexible remote work: Office in Milan when you want people time, remote when you need focus.

Your mission

We’re looking for an ESG Solution Specialist Intern who’s eager to learn, curious about sustainability, and motivated to work at the intersection of ESG, data, and technology.

You’ll support our team in helping clients collect, process, and automate ESG data for regulatory and voluntary reporting (such as VSME and ESRS), while also gaining hands‑on exposure to pre‑sales, onboarding, and customer support activities. You’ll work closely with senior team members and leadership, learning fast and seeing the real impact of your work.

This is a great opportunity to build practical ESG and SaaS experience in a dynamic, fast‑growing environment.

What you’ll do:

• Supporting ESG data collection, processing, and automation activities 📊
• Assisting clients with ESG reporting requirements (VSME, ESRS, and similar frameworks)
• Helping analyze customer needs and translate them into ESG solutions
• Collaborating on proposals and presentations 🎯
• Helping onboard new clients and guide them through first steps on the platform
• Learning about ESG regulations, standards, and market trends 🌱

🎓 A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Economics, Management, Sustainability, Engineering, or similar fields

📘 Strong interest in ESG, sustainability, and data‑driven solutions

🧠 Analytical mindset and willingness to learn new tools and frameworks
