๐Ÿข About Boundless Impact Research & Analytics

Boundless Impact Research & Analytics is a specialized analytics firm that provides life cycle and techno-economic impact data for cleantech companies, sustainable brands, and investors. What sets them apart is their blend of science-based impact analysis, industry benchmarks, and AI-driven data to validate and differentiate sustainable products. Working here means contributing directly to the credibility and growth of the cleantech sector, helping investors make informed decisions that drive environmental impact.

About This Role

As a Marketing Intern, you'll work closely with the marketing advisor, Chief of Staff, and Product Analyst to support content creation, outreach, and customer cultivation. This is a high-impact role where you'll help communicate complex impact data to a cleantech audience, directly influencing how Boundless attracts and engages clients. You'll gain hands-on experience in a growing startup, with flexibility (20 hours/week) and a focus on writing and communication.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve drafting a blog post about a new impact metric, coordinating with the product team to gather data for a client case study, and scheduling social media posts to promote a recent report. You'll also join a brief team call to align on outreach priorities and may research potential leads for a targeted email campaign. Expect a mix of independent writing, collaborative brainstorming, and hands-on execution in a fast-paced startup environment.
