What will you do?
You will join our Innovation function that defines and validates future areas of business growth. In the past year, this function has re-defined our core business model, shifting the company from a direct-to-consumer (DTC) to business-to-business (B2B) model with contractors as our main customers.
You will work with and report directly to our Co-Founder, Andy Frank, to identify, analyze, and validate opportunities that expand the Sealed product-market fit and are aligned with our mission to stop energy waste and electrify every home. Over the course of the summer, you will lead a project closely tied to our Innovation strategy and roadmap.

- Build a business case for new innovations by modeling the market size, unit economics, and growth potential

The ideal candidate will combine analytic rigor with creativity, excellent communications skills, and persistent follow-through.
What success looks like
You will help identify and evaluate transformational opportunities that have the potential to dramatically accelerate our impact on climate change, and invest in clean, comfortable, and healthy homes. At the end of the day, success in this role is comprehensively evaluating an opportunity by the end of the internship that has the potential to transform our business in the coming years.
