Salary Unpaid

🚀 Join WasteHero as our Technical Proposal Writer! (Internship)

WasteHero is transforming how cities manage waste—smarter, greener, and more scalable. We’re building a high-performing Business Development team, and now we’re looking for a detail-oriented and ambitious intern to help us craft winning proposals and scale our impact across Europe.


This role is perfect if you:

  • Love writing clearly and persuasively, and can explain complex ideas simply

  • Are naturally organized and enjoy diving deep into details and requirements

  • Want to learn how major public and private deals are won

  • Are interested in how AI can boost productivity and quality in real business settings

  • Want a front-row seat in a fast-growing climate tech company, surrounded by senior experts and founders


About the Role

As a Technical Proposal Writer, you’ll support our business development and go-to-market team by helping draft compelling, compliant responses to public and private tenders. You’ll use AI tools and past materials to help draft, adapt, and improve our answers. You’ll work closely with experienced bid managers, solution architects, and the leadership team.


Responsibilities

  • Draft and structure clear, compliant answers to tender questions

  • Support writing for requirements descriptions, technical compliance, project plans, timelines, change management, and service-level agreements (SLAs)

  • Work with senior team members to refine content and tailor responses to each opportunity

  • Use our new AI tools to source and draft answers from past materials

  • Review and edit answers for clarity, tone, and alignment with customer needs

  • Help document and improve our internal bid-writing processes


What We’re Looking For

  • You’re a student in Aarhus (any field, but business, communications, law, or engineering is a plus)

  • Exceptional written communication skills in English (Danish is a plus, not a must)

  • Analytical mindset—you like understanding rules, requirements, and what makes a good answer

  • Detail-oriented, organized, and unafraid to ask questions

  • Comfortable with digital tools (Word, Google Workspace, Notion; bonus if you’ve tried AI writing tools)

  • Curious about public tenders, SaaS, and climate tech


Why WasteHero?

  • Work alongside senior experts and founders—learn best practices from the inside

  • Direct involvement in deals with real, visible business impact

  • Opportunities to learn AI-powered writing and proposal tech

  • Flexible hours that fit around your studies

  • Fun, open, and inclusive team where your contributions matter

  • Opportunities for future growth as we expand our business development team
