Systemiq Internship-London/Munich/Amsterdam
Internship-London/Munich/Amsterdam Company Description SYSTEMIQ is a different kind of company. Our purpose is to catalyse good disruptions in critical economic systems, with a current focus on land use/forestry, energy, and materials/circular economy. These disruptions are not only vital to the future of humanity and our planet, they also open up immense opportunities for the businesses that drive them. The UN Global Goals and the Paris Agreement have set the targets we must reach to protect the earth and make sure everyone in the growing global population has a chance to prosper. But, so far, most change has been incremental. We need to transform economic systems much faster to hit the targets and stop the degradation of natural resources. SYSTEMIQ connects the right people, ideas, technologies, and capital to transform economic systems. We do this through four five activities: 1. Convene and support coalitions of leaders to shape policies and business strategies that will rapidly transform economic activity 2. Work with companies that want to be pioneers in and drivers of change towards more sustainable systems 3. Co-create and incubate the market solutions most likely to build regenerative economic systems 4. Invest our own venture capital and expertise in opportunities with the biggest potential to drive rapid system change 5. Direct larger pools of capital into regenerative economic systems, so that these scale and multiply. In order to deliver in these areas, we recruit and develop distinctive and varied individuals who strive to achieve our mission, challenge the status quo and act as change leaders. Position Throughout the year SYSTEMIQ takes on a number of interns across different areas of the business. Please note, these internships are not guaranteed at specific times, but are recruited on a year-round need to hire basis dependant on project requirements. These internships offer a chance to work on highly strategic projects with exposure to high calibre scientific research and strategy consultancy work, focusing on developing world-leading solutions to drive system change.
