Open Internship

  • Intern

Company Description

OXWASH are re-engineering the laundry process from the ground up; our aim is for clinically-clean, net zero carbon emissions for the whole process, from collection, through washing and back to delivery. We replace the need for using your local launderette, commercial laundry, or dry cleaner and offers a quick and convenient pick-up service direct from your homes or businesses, using zero emissions courier platforms and the latest in renewable energy. This has never been accomplished and we are determined to be the first truly sustainable, hassle-free and hygienic on-demand laundry company in the world.

If you're passionate about building a world-leading product without compromising on sustainability, then read on and join us on our mission! 

Job Description

The open internship involves a remote 10-week research project. The idea is that you'll have the freedom and flexibility to pursue a topic that appeals to you. Let us know which facets of the business resonate and we'll tailor the project accordingly. We desperately need data for a multitude of projects. Why? 

1) We're a startup. Bandwidth is limited. Yet big decisions need to be made as we begin to define our brand and our trajectory. Do we launch in multiple cities before hitting London? Shall we franchise our model or license the tech? Do we sacrifice flexibility to uphold our values of sustainability? Instinct as a decision maker is too dangerous, we need the homework.

2) The OXWASH model is uniquely multifaceted. We serve consumers and businesses. Most our competitors serve solely consumers. We're vertically integrated, we own every stage of the cycle from collection to cleaning. Most our competitors offer merely an app that connects you with local launderettes and dry cleaners. In short, there's numerous angles to our business. 

In sum, therefore, from the efficacy of electric vans to the design of our app, the breadth of projects worth exploring is vast. Previous interns have explored the projects below: 

Expansion strategy analysis: evaluating UK cities that would be suitable for OXWASH. This has largely determined our domestic growth trajectory. 

Customer profiling report: comprehensively understanding the different businesses we serve. This has provided ammunition for much of our sales and marketing communications. 

Post covid-19 strategy: focus on previous economic recessions to identify which industries thrive and which industries shrink. This has inferred which markets we shall be targeting over the next 6-24 months.

  • Undergraduate, graduate or postgraduate 
  • Strong research and communication skills 
  • Enthusiasm and interest in startups
