Strategic Projects Intern

Please note: We are a start-up with a German entity and founders originally from Berlin. However, we are now working on the US market from Latin America (currently in a hackerhouse in Medellín). It is a hard requirement for us that you could join the hackerhouse (large Airbnbs) in person.

Clera is a fast-growing AI start-up that is rethinking the way how top talents find their next dream jobs. We are working with some of the leading start-ups like Mintlify, Luminai and Windsurf, many in AI, all VC-backed.

We see a massive opportunity in automating the work of the $600B global headhunting industry.

We believe that the recruiting process needs to be talent-first to make it easy to get in touch with those companies, be coached in the journey and actually get hired.

We’re experiencing rapid growth, with hundreds of exceptional candidates approaching us daily. Your role will be pivotal in ensuring these candidates enjoy an exceptional journey, connecting them to career-defining opportunities at some of the most elite startups globally. This is a mission-critical role.

As a Strategic Ops Intern, you’ll directly impact our mission to make Clera the go-to platform for both ambitious talent seeking remarkable opportunities and leading companies hiring exceptional candidates. We’re looking for ambitious, driven overachievers ready to take ownership, drive initiatives, and shape the future of talent acquisition.

• You have worked in fast-paced entrepreneurial environments
• You are happy to get your hands dirty and work on whatever with the highest business impact
• You have some outstanding achievements - please tell us about them
• You are willing to join us in our hackerhouses in Latam - currently working from Medellín. In the next months we will relocate to SF

Set-up: Hacker-Houses in LatAm:

• Live & build with a small founding team—think YC sprint, but sunny & adventures
• Zero commute, 10× feedback loops & team bonding
• Our international team flew in from Germany, Canada, Sweden
• Working on the largest talent market - the US - on the same time zone
• It’s very intense but also extremely productive & fun to live and work from the same AirBnb as a team

Co-Founders:

• Sebastian (CEO): Serial marketplace founder; scaled a learning platform to 10k users and built AI-agent products for European manufacturers.
• Daniel (CTO): Founding several VC-funded start-ups, Head of Engineering leading a 15 people team.
• Alexander (COO): Scaled SaaS to 10M ARR as Chief of Staff, worked across recruiting (800 interviews, 30 hires) and GTM.

We see a massive opportunity to change the way talent find their new opportunities. As we spend most of our time at work, we are very motivated to help them find work on more meaningful opportunities.
