Working Student Strategy (f/m/x)

Werkstudierende, Teilzeit · Essen, Remote

Are you ready to save the planet?

We are challenging the fundamental assumption that fuels must come from the ground. Our breakthrough direct air capture technology captures carbon from the atmosphere and produces hydrogen in parallel.

The clock is ticking. What are you waiting for?

Our goals are ambitious. We need people who are inspired and motivated to turn these aspirations into reality; to grow and develop with us.

As a Working Student in Strategy, you’ll actively support our strategy and leadership teams in driving key initiatives—from investor communications to market analysis and business case development. You’ll gain hands-on experience in startup strategy and deep tech commercialization, and play a meaningful role in helping Greenlyte scale faster and smarter.

How you'll contribute

Specifically you will…

  • Conduct research on markets, policy landscapes, and technologies relevant to Greenlyte’s mission.

  • Support the development of business cases for new commercial and project opportunities.

  • Assist in preparing investor presentations, strategy briefs, and market intelligence reports.

  • Contribute to go-to-market planning for our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) plant and other future projects.

  • Track project milestones and risks across key strategic initiatives.

  • Help bring clarity and structure through documentation, visuals, and concise synthesis.

  • Help track deliverables across projects and improve documentation for alignment and transparency

  • Build and maintain structured research outputs and insight repositories for recurring strategic topics

  • Contribute to long-term planning and modeling (e.g., go-to-market frameworks, opportunity sizing)

  • Get involved in cross-functional projects—such as go-to-market planning, funding preparation, or stakeholder engagement

About you
