About the Role

This internship role will support Pixxel's Science Programme - the function responsible for research quality, publication governance, and external scientific and research partnerships.

What You'll Do

Programme Process Ownership

• Maintain and periodically update Pixxel's science and research publication policy, ensuring it stays current with the company's evolving priorities.
• Serve as the single point of contact for employees seeking to publish research or attend conferences on Pixxel's behalf.
• Set up and coordinate a review committee for research publications/posters, working with relevant teams to ensure internal quality bars are met before external release.
• Build traceable, repeatable processes around publication approvals and reviews - visibility and auditability matter.

Partnerships External Engagement

• Identify and help standardize areas of collaboration with industry, universities, and research labs.
• Source and engage potential partners, representing Pixxel in early conversations.
• Set up and coordinate meetings with prospective partners, and follow through to keep engagement momentum going.
• Act as the ongoing point of contact for Pixxel's existing partnerships, ensuring relationships stay active and well-managed.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work closely with Legal and Engineering to move partnership and publication conversations toward meaningful outcomes, not just activity.
• Flag risks or bottlenecks in the process early, and propose fixes.

What We're Looking For

• 0-1 years of experience; prior internship experience at a tech startup is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated exposure to partnerships, external stakeholder engagement, or process/operations work.
• Strong organizational instincts; you notice when a process is messy and want to fix it.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable representing the company externally.
• Ability to work independently across ambiguous, cross-functional problems.
• Keen interest in space, remote sensing, and/or the research/academic ecosystem (not mandatory, but helps).
