Administrative Intern

Are you our new Administrative Octopus? (unpaid internship)

Can you create structure and communicate razor-sharp tech governance in one of Denmark’s most ambitious AI startups?

At Whitebox AI, we are looking for a versatile and proactive Administrative Intern who wants to become a central part of our engine room. We are looking for a true "octopus" who thrives in an environment where no two days are the same, and who masters the transition from practical coordination to sharp, visual communication.

Who is Whitebox?

Whitebox is a deep-tech company that exists to restrict, delay, detect, and prevent the emergence of consciousness, self-awareness, agency, and related inner states in advanced AI systems, for as long as possible – and to build the next generation of foundation models.

In the short term, we build safety systems for the regulation of AI systems that prevent unwanted autonomy and ensure human control. In the long term – if AI consciousness eventually becomes unavoidable – we want to deliver the only foundation models architected to be safely, stably, and ethically conscious from the outset.

The role and your tasks

You will work closely with our management team in a 100% remote, yet closely connected setup. If you are based in Aalborg or Copenhagen, there is the option to work physically alongside us in the short term.

Your two primary, ongoing projects will be helping to build and maintain our website and managing our presence on LinkedIn. As our administrative octopus, you will also get your hands on a wide range of exciting and varied tasks:

• Preparation of One-pagers & Materials: You will help pack scientific and technical knowledge into sharp, easy-to-understand, and professionally designed "one-pagers" and presentations for external partners and investors.
• Event & Webinar Coordination: We want to share our knowledge. You will be responsible for the logistics and planning when we host webinars, roundtable discussions on AI governance, or participate in external conferences.
• Coordination & Scheduling: Calendar management, meeting booking, and coordinating important appointments with investors, authorities, and academic partners.
• Ad hoc Research: Gathering background knowledge and data for use in grant applications, regulatory approvals, or market analyses.
• Onboarding Support: Helping to structure processes and materials when we onboard other interns.

Who are you?

• You are currently pursuing a relevant degree within communication, business administration, management (e.g., BSc/MSc in Business Administration, International Business Communication, IT Communication, or similar).
• You are structured, self-motivated, and visually minded - you know how to make complex messages easily digestible.
• You express yourself flawlessly in Danish and have strong English skills (as our technical universe is English-speaking).
• You are self-motivated, organized, and able to manage tasks independently in a remote work setting.
• You have a natural curiosity about tech, AI safety, and entrepreneurship.
• You thrive working independently in a remote setup.

What do we offer?

A unique insight into a deep-tech startup with a heavy scientific foundation and a strong purpose. You get great flexibility to plan your hours around your studies, close sparring with experienced profiles in management, and plenty of responsibility from day one.

Practical info: The position is an internship, and the hours can be adapted to your studies (typically 10-15 hours by agreement). Since we work remotely, you can be located anywhere in the world.

Expected start date: September 1st, 2026.

We conduct interviews ongoingly.
