Are you ready to make a change in the energy transition and have a positive impact on the climate? Join the Unbound Potential (UP) team, a Swiss startup founded in 2023 by a group of passionate engineers, chemists, and economists from ETH Zürich.
We envision a resilient electrified society, independent not only from fossil fuels, but also from critical mined materials, such as Lithium-ion or Vanadium. How can we reach that goal? By developing a disruptive innovative solution: a membrane-less redox flow battery that works exclusively with organic chemistry. Despite the name, our system is the simplest large-scale stationary energy storage you can imagine, usable by energy-intensive industries as well as energy utilities seeking cheap and sustainable energy storage solutions.
As a Business Development Intern in our Business Development team, you will play a pivotal role by informing the engineering team about the relevant techno-economic KPIs, conducting market and competitor research and quantitatively and qualitatively assess new potential business opportunities and business models for large-scale stationary batteries.
What you will do:
- Investigating novel business models for large-scale stationary batteries.
- Conducting market research to gather and analyze data on different competing technologies / businesses and compiling reports for strategic decision-making.
- Conducting market research to gather data and insight on different market / use cases opportunities and compiling reports for strategic decision-making.
- Providing support in analyzing and monitoring business and technological key performance indicators (KPI).
- Conducting techno-economic analysis of UP and competing technologies (LCOS, CapEx etc.) in the context of the rapidly evolving BESS market.
- Supporting the business department by identifying and pursuing strategic opportunities.
What you will bring:
-
Educational background and/or experience in business administration, business development, entrepreneurship, energy or engineering.
- Experience with coding for handling and analysing data (e.g. Python, Matlab, Mathematica etc.).
- Knowledge about startups and energy storage technologies (desirable but not mandatory)
- High degree of independency and proactive approach.
- Solution- and detail-oriented mindset with out-of-the-box thinking.
- Strong organizational and interpersonal skills.
