* With an experienced team composed of serial founders, leaders at decacorns and early YC-employees

Tasks

πŸš€ Your Mission

Our trainings are already world-class β€” now we need to scale them. Working closely with Lena (Chief Learning Officer) and Alice (Learning Experience Designer), you'll use your HSE knowledge to make our AI better so we can deliver that same quality to many more clients. You'll be the bridge between strict regulations and new technology.

πŸ“š HSE Content & Quality

You're the go-to person for HSE know-how on the learning team. You make sure our AI-generated content doesn't just sound good β€” it's actually correct.

* Check the details: Review scripts and modules to make sure everything is technically right

* Turn rules into lessons: Take complex HSE regulations and turn them into clear, engaging learning modules

* Spot the AI gaps: Find exactly where the AI gets HSE topics wrong, so we can fix it

* Apply customer feedback: Take what clients and users tell us and use it to make our trainings better

πŸ€– AI Content Production & Product Feedback

You'll use our own platform to build trainings β€” and help make the platform itself better along the way.

* Test new features: Try out new AI features before clients see them and share feedback with Jonas (CTO)

* Support multimedia: Help create AI-powered videos and animations

* Improve our tools: Help us automate how we build trainings so we're 10x faster than everyone else

πŸ“ˆ Growth & Sales Support

Show potential clients what's possible with Akdo.

* Build HSE demos: Create impressive, industry-specific demos for sales calls with Max (CEO)

* Learn from workshops: Join client sessions to understand the challenges big companies face and how we can solve them

πŸš€ Your Own Contributions

Have ideas for improving our methodology, new content formats, or smarter ways to use the platform? We welcome your initiatives.

Requirements

Essential:

* AI enthusiasm: You actively use AI tools in your daily work and studies, experiment with new models and workflows, and get genuinely excited about where the technology is heading

* HSE/EHS foundation: You're studying (or recently studied or have experience in) a relevant field β€” environmental science, occupational safety, sustainability management, industrial engineering, or similar β€” and bring real interest in sustainability, safety, and compliance topics

* Attention to detail: You find satisfaction in perfecting the final touches and catching what others miss β€” especially important when technical accuracy matters

* Organizational skills: Comfortable juggling multiple projects and priorities simultaneously

* Communication: Excellent English; German proficiency is a valuable advantage

* Availability: 4–6 months for a full-time internship

Experience & Background:

Any of the following is a plus, though none are required:

* Hands-on experience with AI tools beyond casual use β€” prompt engineering, building workflows, testing models

* Prior content work: writing, editing, polishing presentations, or helping create training/educational material

* Exposure to HSE/EHS topics in a professional or project context (internships, thesis work, student initiatives)

We care more about curiosity and aptitude than checking every box.

Mindset:

* Thrives in a small-team startup where priorities shift and you wear multiple hats

* Balances precision with speed β€” knows when to polish and when to ship

* Collaborative but self-directed; comfortable asking for help and figuring things out independently

* Naturally curious about how things work, whether it's a regulation, a training method, or an AI model
