About Vert
Vert is a young startup, founded in Tel Aviv by Matan Rudis and Osnat Avital. Our mission is to accelerate the transition to low-carbon industry and build tools for a sustainable climate economy. In a nutshell, we’re developing a platform that helps companies in identifying, choosing, buying and financing solutions for carbon reduction – for themselves and their supply chain participants. We use a friendly quantification process to assess carbon intensity, analytic features to identify and optimize solutions, and algorithms to match solutions. Our data platform is open, dynamic and designed for cross-org collaboration, enabling efficiency and transparency.

Your internship
As a sustainability intern you will work as part of the core team. Your responsibilities will include:
Building new use-cases for our growing variety of users
Working with some of our users on optimizing their analytic process
Researching and adding new data sources
Writing customer-facing documentation and educational materials
Providing product-level inputs to our development team

What else to expect from your internship?
As a small and young company, we like to work hard and spend time together. Colleagues are friends and it’s important for us that every team member feels comfortable. We work from Tel Aviv and try to meet on-site most of the time, but we can totally understand it if you choose to take the day from the beach or a caffe (that’s what’s great about Tel Aviv). You will see that you’ll learn a lot and build things that haven’t been done before. While that could be tons of fun, it could easily become confusing and hectic, but that’s how startups are.

This internship opportunity would be a good fit for undergraduate students in the following areas:
Sustainability & Economy
Sustainability & policy
Environmental engineering
Any combination of sustainability/environment with data science
