Role Overview

As a Market Expansion (AI) Intern, you will play a pivotal role in driving our growth in new regions. You will focus on building partnerships, conducting outreach, and creating localized business materials in Mandarin Chinese or German. This is a high-responsibility internship designed for someone entrepreneurial, ambitious, and eager to gain experience in international business development. 

Company Description

At Hypertype, our vision is to create the world’s smartest AI agent for customer support—bringing AI into industries that have been left behind. While modern SaaS companies are quick to adopt automation, traditional industries like industrial manufacturing (worth over $44 trillion globally and employing more than 15% of Europe’s workforce) are still underserved by AI.

Today, fewer than 20% of industrial companies have adopted AI in any form, and in customer-facing teams the adoption rate is in the single digits. This leaves billions in unrealized value—through lost productivity, slow aftersales support, and costly downtime when machines break.

With our technology, we’re building end-to-end support automation that goes beyond ticketing: a bold mission to deliver 100% fully autonomous customer support. From triage to resolution, our AI handles the entire support flow—freeing human teams to focus on innovation, product improvements, and building customer relationships.

As a Market Expansion Intern, you will:

• Help open up the industrial manufacturing vertical across Europe and beyond.

• Research, analyze, and identify high-potential companies, partners, and markets.

• Shape the go-to-market strategy for one of the most transformative AI applications of our time.

Join us in building the world’s smartest and most accurate AI brain across customer domains—and beyond.
