Entrepreneur in Residence

? What’s the Opportunity?

This is a transformative, remote-first opportunity to play an important role in digitising the world of air freight and logistics at cargo.one, a growing Series B company backed by leading Venture Capital firms including Index and Bessemer.

This role is a fantastic opportunity to learn how businesses are built from the ground up and to make an impact on a fast-growing tech company. You’ll drive your own projects across all areas of the business, which could range from marketing to product, including business development, project management and more. You’ll get ownership of your tasks from day one and will be considered a full member of the team.

The projects you’ll carry will depend on both the company needs and your strengths and interests and for that reason, we are looking for a strong generalist with an interest in gaining experience from a start-up like ours, no matter what the project or team.

Successful EiR will have the opportunity to join the team full-time after completing their internships. This internship’s duration is 6 months.

If you’re seeking a high-energy, feedback-rich culture with a dash of playfulness, you’re in the right place. Join us now and revolutionise the way airlines manage cargo!

??‍♀️ We are looking for someone who:

• Has gained more than 1 year of experience in fast-paced and high-performance work environments such as VC-backed start-ups, consulting or investment banking.

• You get a kick out of automating manual processes and helping cargonauts save time.
• In everything you do, you take ownership and get a kick out of exceeding expectations.
