Strategy and Finance Intern

Intern / Student, Full-time · Berlin

What we do

Today, materials production accounts for 23% of GHG emissions and shows no sign of slowing 

down. Cambrium was founded under the belief that biology offers a better way. For material 

innovation in nature, biology turns to proteins. Over the past 4.3 billion years evolution has 

shaped proteins with every material property imaginable. From surfactants and hard surfaces, to

gels and foams, to coatings and adhesives. We built our platform to speed up biology’s 

innovation cycle to make the materials the world needs in a timeline that matters. By 

programming proteins at scale, we create sustainable breakthrough materials for innovators 

across cosmetics, fashion and packaging.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications 

equally regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual 

orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly 

encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply, and 

we can help with immigration.
