Strategic Projects Intern

About the Company

Clera is a fast-growing AI start-up that is rethinking the way how top talents find their next dream jobs . We work with leading start‑ups such as Mintlify, Luminai, and Windsurf, all VC‑backed. We see a massive opportunity in automating the $600B global headhunting industry and believe the recruiting process needs to be talent‑first.

Location & Hiring Requirements

We are headquartered in a German entity but operate in the US market from Latin America (currently a hackerhouse in São Paulo). It is a hard requirement to join the hackerhouse in person; later we plan to relocate to San Francisco. Candidates must be willing to work from Medellín and/or São Paulo and eventually relocate to SF.

We’re experiencing rapid growth with hundreds of exceptional candidates approaching us daily. Your role will ensure these candidates enjoy an exceptional journey, connecting them to career‑defining opportunities at elite start‑ups worldwide.
