Business Development Internship
Internship · Full-time
Akilaris was founded on the belief that the orbital economy only works if space stays safe. We build AI-powered space intelligence and collision avoidance that lets satellite operators act in minutes, not days. Joining Akilaris means joining a small, fast team in Bremen, Europe’s City of Space, where your work ships to real operators and directly protects real assets in orbit.
This internship is a full-immersion program: you join live deals, own a market segment end-to-end and leave with a portfolio of real commercial work in the space sector.
Responsibilities
- Own the mapping of one market segment (e.g. LEO constellation operators or European institutional programs) end-to-end
- Build target lists, draft outreach and support qualification calls
- Prepare partner and customer meetings, including materials and follow-ups
- Support event presence (booth, demos, lead capture) at space industry fairs
- Deliver a final market report with recommendations that we will actually use
Basic Qualifications
- Studying business, engineering, aerospace or a related field (Bachelor or Master)
- Available full-time for 3–6 months (mandatory internships welcome)
- Fluent English; German is a plus
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Previous internship in sales, consulting or a startup
- Genuine interest in space and the new orbital economy
- Self-starter attitude: you ask for forgiveness, not permission, and communicate clearly
Additional Requirements
- Internship compensated according to German internship regulations
- Based in Bremen for the internship period (we help with practicalities)
What We Offer
- Direct impact: your work ships to production and is used by real satellite operators
- Work side by side with the founders: short paths, fast decisions, real ownership
- Flexible hours built around lectures and exam phases (for student roles)
- Office in Bremen, Europe’s City of Space, in the heart of a dense aerospace ecosystem, with hybrid options
- A high-trust, high-velocity culture: we iterate like a launch company, not a corporation
- Clear growth path: many student roles convert into permanent positions
