About the role

  • Business Operations Intern managing procurement and hiring processes at a deep-tech startup. Supporting critical hardware acquisition and optimizing operations as part of a fast-paced team.

Responsibilities

  • Become our “deal hunter” for critical hardware: You’ll scout suppliers/marketplaces (incl. Alibaba), request quotes, sanity-check specs/MOQs, and compare vendors on price, lead time, and reliability, then help us land great deals (within guidelines).
  • Make sure the right parts arrive on time: You’ll help run orders end-to-end (placing orders, tracking shipments, updating ETAs) and keep a simple procurement tracker so the team always knows what’s coming, when, and what’s at risk.
  • Connect procurement to real project timelines: You’ll work with the team to prioritize purchases based on the production plan and pilot/customer commitments, and you’ll proactively flag bottlenecks early.
  • Keep hiring moving (fast): You’ll coordinate profile reviews, keep our hiring tool/database clean and up to date, chase feedback, and help interview panels run smoothly (agendas, reminders, follow-ups).
  • Build small systems that scale: You’ll document what you learn, improve workflows, and turn chaos into clarity with lightweight process improvements.

Requirements

  • Currently studying Business Administration, Operations, Finance, Innovation Management, or a related field.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills, you like things structured and clear.
  • Proactive, hands-on attitude, you take initiative and get things done.
  • Comfortable working with spreadsheets, reports, and documents.
  • Fluent in English (Dutch is a plus).
  • Excited to learn how a deep-tech startup runs from the inside.
  • You don’t need to have prior startup experience: Curiosity, motivation, and ownership matter most.

Benefits

  • 10 vacation days during internship period
  • (Really) flexible working hours
  • Real exposure to both behind-the-scenes operations in a highly innovative startup environment
  • Responsibility over the things you own
