Praktikum/Werkstudium
About the Role
Cloover is expanding across Europe, and the market entries, partnerships, products, and growth opportunities that make this possible need someone to find, build, and drive them. As a Venture Development Intern, you will work directly with our Head of Venture Development at the forefront of our post-Series-A expansion: opening new markets, building strategic partnerships, launching new products, and identifying growth levers across Europe.
This is not a research-and-report role. You will be responsible for real workstreams, conduct direct partner meetings, and see how your work translates into concrete pipeline, product, and market growth.
You will report to our Head of Venture Development and work from our Berlin office from day one.
Responsibilities
Venture Development at Cloover is intentionally broad. You will work on multiple workstreams in parallel, depending on where the company needs leverage. Typically:
- Market Entry & New Products: Analyze new European markets, develop go-to-market strategies, and support implementation, from initial market analysis to the live launch of new products with initial partners.
- Strategic Partnerships: Identify, approach, qualify, and guide installers, energy providers, manufacturers, and industry players through to completion, including negotiation and onboarding.
- Cross-Functional Projects & Special Topics: Launch strategic initiatives with Sales, Operations, Product, Finance, and Legal, and assist with C-Level topics such as competitive analysis, investor updates, and board materials.
- Data & Insights: Analyze business data, evaluate market trends, and derive strategic recommendations that directly influence decisions.
- AI & Automation: We are intentionally AI-first. You will build your own workflows with tools like Claude, n8n, and similar platforms to scale research, outreach, analysis, and reporting, handling tasks that previously required entire teams.
- Sales Enablement & Pipeline: Maintain pipeline hygiene, co-manage outbound campaigns, and develop sales materials for new markets and products.
Your Profile
How you think and what you have built matters more than where you have been. These are the prerequisites for your success in this role:
- Initial practical experience through internships or jobs in a dynamic environment, ideally related to Venture Development, Strategy, Consulting, or Sales.
- Quickly understands market dynamics and translates them into structured, action-oriented recommendations, makes decisions from data without being instructed.
- Takes responsibility for a workstream and drives it forward without waiting for instructions, recognizes what needs to be done, and gets started.
- Handles ambiguity and parallel priorities, can switch between workstreams without losing track.
- Fluent German (C2) required, as you will communicate directly with partners and customers in Germany. Negotiable English for work across European markets.
- Ongoing or completed studies in Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, or a comparable field.
- You are based in Berlin and bring energy to the office routine. We are intentionally office-first. Decisions are made in real-time, partner strategies are tested over lunch, and the founding team is ten meters away. If this is how you work best, you will feel right at home here.
Nice to have, but not mandatory:
- Interest or initial experience in renewable energy, Climate Tech, or Fintech.
- Experience in a startup or scale-up environment.
- Initial exposure to AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) or automation platforms like n8n, Zapier, Make, or a desire to learn them with us.

- Initial Meeting (30 Min.) - We want to understand what you are looking for - not just tick off your resume.
- Interview with Your Future Supervisor (30 Min.) - We go deep: your experience, your mindset, how you approach problems.

About Us
At Cloover, we are building the AI operating system for the energy transition: a platform that helps thousands of installation companies in Germany and Austria to sell more, plan faster, and deliver better. We have secured $1.32 billion in funding: $1.3 billion in committed debt financing and a Series A round of $22 million. We are just at the beginning of our European expansion.
We are a high-performance team that works with purpose. We take full responsibility for our work, discuss ideas intensively, pull together, and implement without hesitation. Here, the hierarchy does not win, the best idea does. Speed is not a goal we strive for, but the way we work.
And we are AI-first from the ground up. We do not experiment with AI, we are built with it. Tech delivers faster because AI prototypes before we build. Sales closes more because outreach is personalized at scale. Finance tests scenarios in real-time. People & Culture builds processes in a fraction of the time. No matter the function: AI is what sets us apart from our weight class, and it is a skill you will develop faster here than almost anywhere else.
We believe that the energy transition belongs to everyone, and that includes our team. We are international, driven, and intentionally inclusive. We hire based on potential and perspective and welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
