Business Development Intern

About the Role

GroundZero Space is a deeptech company building the intelligence layer for a safer, more sustainable space economy. Our Space Domain Awareness software gives satellite operators and national space programmes an independent, sovereign picture of what is in orbit, with an autonomous failsafe that acts when no analyst is available. Our Earth observation arm turns satellite and aerial imagery into decisions for government and enterprise clients across forestry, infrastructure, mining, water, energy and insurance. We are an early-stage team with a working ground sensor prototype, and we are building the next stage now.

We are looking for a Business Development Intern to join our Earth Observation team onsite in the Greater Raipur Area. You will help us find and win our first customers in government, infrastructure, mining, insurance and the space sector.
