About Ridge

The financial infrastructure for nature.

Ridge is building the financial infrastructure for nature: a platform that turns natural assets, and the real-world impact they generate, into investment-grade financial products.

Natural assets are a multi-trillion-euro asset class, yet less than one percent is accessible through regulated products. Ridge is solving this structural gap. Forests, farmland and other nature-based assets are fundamentally productive, resilient and uncorrelated, yet chronically underfinanced. Ridge changes that by structuring natural assets into EU taxonomy-aligned, ISIN-eligible securities, making them investable through the same rails as traditional financial products.

Beyond structuring, Ridge adds what this market has been missing: trust and efficiency. Integrated due diligence, risk assessment and impact reporting, combined with optional tokenization, dramatically reduce transaction costs while increasing transparency for both asset owners and investors. The result is a rare convergence of institutional-grade financial returns and measurable environmental impact.

Our vision

To become the world’s largest marketplace for natural assets, combining financial returns with measurable ecological impact.

About the role

Broad exposure, real responsibility.

We are looking for a highly motivated graduate or intern to support Ridge across multiple areas of the business, including marketing and sales, market research, financial product structuring and strategic projects.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving environment, offering direct exposure to the founders and real capital markets activity. You will not be doing one narrow task. You will gain broad insight into how a new financial asset class is built, and see a start-up in the making.

Key responsibilities

Where you will help.

Marketing & sales support

Get Ridge in front of the right people

  • Support preparation of investor presentations and sales materials
  • Assist with conference preparation and follow-up
  • Help manage CRM and outreach lists
  • Contribute to LinkedIn and thought leadership content

Market research

Understand the markets we operate in

  • Research natural asset markets (forestry, agriculture, commodities)
  • Analyze competitors and industry trends
  • Support TAM / SAM / SOM and demand-side analysis
  • Identify potential investor or origination targets

Structuring support

Help turn assets into products

  • Assist in preparing financial models and return scenarios
  • Support due diligence documentation
  • Help structure investment memoranda and pitch materials
  • Contribute to regulatory and compliance research

Strategic projects

Work directly with the founders

  • Work directly with the founders on ad-hoc initiatives
  • Support platform development discussions with research and user insights
  • Contribute to building internal processes and documentation

Specific project scope

Own one of two build projects.

Alongside the responsibilities above, this role takes a leading support position on one of two defined build projects. These are real, business-critical initiatives with clear ownership and measurable outcomes.

Project 1

Ridge supply-side set-up

Building the engine that brings asset owners onto the platform.

Design and stand up a new, repeatable system to find, identify, screen, contact and convert asset owners, such as forest and farmland owners, project developers and land stewards, onto the Ridge platform.

Build the sourcing funnel end to end: define the target universe and qualifying criteria, assemble and enrich prospect lists, establish a screening and prioritization framework, and design the outreach and conversion sequences that move an owner from first contact to onboarded supply.

Turn what is today an ad-hoc effort into a documented, scalable origination process that the team can run and continuously improve.

Project 2

Ridge CRM implementation

One integrated system for both sides of the marketplace.

Implement an end-to-end, fully integrated CRM covering both the supply side (asset owners and originators) and the demand side (investors and distribution partners), following the outcomes of our CRM benchmark discussion.

Translate the benchmark findings into a configured system: pipeline stages and statuses for each side, contact and account data models, activity and outreach tracking, and reporting views that give the founders a single source of truth on the state of both pipelines.

Ensure the CRM connects cleanly with the supply-side sourcing engine and existing outreach workflows, so data flows through one system rather than scattered lists and spreadsheets.

Who you are

The person we have in mind.

A final-year student or recent graduate in finance, economics, business, environmental finance, sustainability or engineering (with a finance interest). Beyond the field of study, we are looking for someone who is:

  • Strong in analytical and research skills
  • An excellent written communicator
  • Curious about climate, capital markets and entrepreneurship
  • Comfortable working independently in a dynamic environment
  • Detail-oriented and a structured thinker

Nice to have

  • Basic understanding of financial modeling
  • Interest in ESG and impact investing
  • Experience in startups

What you will gain

What you take away.

  • Direct exposure to institutional capital markets
  • Understanding of securitization and structured finance
  • Insight into building a platform from early stage
  • Experience in impact investing and natural capital
  • Mentorship from the founders
  • Real responsibility from day one

This is not a corporate internship. It is an opportunity to help build a new asset class, and a new company, from the ground up.

Apply

Start building with us.

The form asks what draws you to nature and capital markets, and which of the two build projects interests you more. We would rather read three honest paragraphs than a polished covering letter.
