Business Development Internship - Summer

We are looking for a business development intern that wants to supercharge the start of their career at the intersection of AI and global business. This is not an internship where you sit on the sidelines; at Redpine, you will work directly with our founding team (ex-McKinsey, VC, Spotify) to build the partnerships that power the next generation of AI models. You will be in the engine room of a high-growth startup, helping us map global markets, identify high-value data owners, and operationalize our commercial pipeline. If you are hungry, ambitious, and ready to turn your drive into tangible impact from day one, this is your launchpad.

• Partner Sourcing & Outreach: Proactively identify key decision-makers and find creative ways to open doors and secure meetings with potential data partners.

• Deal Execution: Work alongside the founders to drive momentum in the partnership pipeline, crafting/revising pitch decks and strategic narratives that convert interest into action.

• Market Intelligence: Research and map global data landscapes to uncover high-value opportunities and hidden gems in sectors like science, media, finance, and more.

• Ad-hoc Projects: Support the wider team with strategic initiatives and administrative tasks to remove friction and accelerate deal flow.

• Strong track record: Current student or recent graduate in Business, Engineering, or similar field, who has consistently performed at a high level in academics or extracurriculars.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: You are a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and is willing to "roll up your sleeves" to get the job done, no matter the task. Strong bias for action.

• Strong communicator: You have excellent written and verbal skills, with the ability to craft compelling messages for senior stakeholders.

• Agile fast learner: You grasp technical and commercial concepts quickly, have a genuine interest in AI, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

• Experience is a plus: Previous work in high-growth startups, consulting, or VC - or knowledge of sectors like media, finance, or healthcare - is a strong advantage.

• 6-8 weeks from mid-June to August 2026, exact dates to be defined with the candidates.

• This is a paid full-time summer internship.

• Be part of a cutting-edge company shaping the future of data in AI.

• Work in a global-first, AI-native environment with industry-leading professionals.

• Engage with top-tier partners across AI, finance, publishing, healthcare, and more.

Redpine is an AI-native, global-first company building the knowledge layer for AI. We unlock compliant access to high-quality, non-public, multi-modal data in fields like medicine, science, law, and finance, enabling data owners to monetize their content in a controlled way.

We embrace a culture of curiosity, speed, innovation and excellence. We believe in continuous learning, experimentation, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI technology. You'll be working closely with the founding team, including Anders (ex-partner at VC, McKinsey), and David (ex-tech and product leader at unicorn companies Spotify, Zettle and Lunar).

We prioritize an office-first culture (in Stockholm) to fuel collaboration and connection, but we’re big on autonomy - for those days you need a "deep work" day at home or have life admin to handle.

If you are eager to make a meaningful impact in the AI space, we’d love to hear from you. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team: if you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway.
