Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in an analytically rigorous field — economics, the sciences, pre-med, statistics, history, engineering, or similar. We care more about the rigor of the program and how you were trained to think than about the specific subject.
• A strong academic record, including GPA, paired with meaningful involvement outside the classroom — extracurricular leadership, athletics, research, or work during school. We are looking for people who consistently take on more than the minimum and still perform.
• 0 – 2 years of professional experience. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
• Exceptional organization and attention to detail. You track your own commitments without being reminded, and nothing falls through.
• Strong quantitative comfort. You can build a clean spreadsheet, sanity-check a number, and explain what it means.
• Clear, concise writing. You can summarize a dense document or a long meeting in a paragraph.
• Sound judgment and discretion. This role carries early exposure to confidential financial, customer, and strategic information.
• A genuine bias to action and no sense that any task is beneath you. The most valuable person in a growing company is often the one who just picks it up.
• Curiosity and speed of learning. You will be handed unfamiliar subject matter constantly and expected to get up to speed fast.

Nice To Haves

• Internship or co-op experience in consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, venture capital, a startup, or a manufacturing environment.
• Strong Excel skills, including comfort with lookups, pivot tables, and basic modeling.
• Familiarity with PowerPoint, project management tools, and CRM systems.
• Exposure to technical or engineering subject matter, whether academic or professional.
• Ties to the Twin Cities and an interest in building a career here.
• Passion for clean tech, sustainable materials, or climate-positive innovation.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of discrete work streams delegated by senior leaders, from first draft to finished product.
• Prepare and format materials for investor, Board, customer, and government audiences.
• Attend key internal and external meetings, capture decisions and action items, and drive follow-through to closure.
• Serve as connective tissue across functions, chasing down the input, data, or answer that is blocking a decision.
• Build and maintain spreadsheets, trackers, and simple models supporting fundraising, commercial pipeline, and operational reporting.
• Conduct market, competitor, customer, and policy research and synthesize it into clear, decision-ready summaries.
• Reconcile data across systems and documents, and flag discrepancies before they reach an external audience.
• Turn messy, incomplete inputs into organized, accurate, well-structured outputs.
• Maintain visibility on deadlines, deliverables, and owners across multiple concurrent work streams.
• Build the lightweight processes, templates, and trackers that a fast-growing company needs and rarely has time to create.
• Coordinate logistics for high-stakes meetings, site visits, and diligence processes.
• Develop a working understanding of Niron's technology, manufacturing process, customers, and markets.
• Rotate across functions as needs dictate, building the breadth that positions you for a longer-term path at Niron in corporate development, finance, program management, commercial, or operations.
