Who We Are

We are building the operating system that lets every factory extract value from its physical data.

Much of the knowledge and physical data of the manufacturing sector is not tracked by any digital system. Today this data is captured through observation. Procedo builds the Vision Intelligence infrastructure that turns factory processes into structured data, dynamic procedures and analytics for optimisation. We are a research-born startup, accelerated by Bocconi for Innovation, and already live in several Italian and international plants in enterprise settings.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone to work alongside the founding team across several strategic and operational areas of the business. This is an operational internship, with responsibility from day one. The ideal candidate recognises themselves in the following traits:

Curious and proactive. Understands needs, forms hypotheses and questions quickly, and makes sure they have fully grasped the objectives.
Comfortable with a high variability of tasks. Can move easily from drafting a campaign to putting together a quote to defining the user experience in the product.
Inclined to formulate solutions quickly, while working hard to keep the quality of the output high.
Self-critical and convinced of the value of continuous improvement. We are a small team building our commercial practices, which must be refined constantly: mutual feedback is at the centre of our growth.

Key Responsibilities

Ability to work with strategic frameworks, commercial documents and customer research
Comfort with design tools (Canva, Lovable) and creating presentations
Fluent Italian and English (written and spoken)
Available for 6 months full-time, starting in September

No prior AI experience is required. What is essential is strong curiosity and the will to understand how the technology works.

Core Soft Skills

An entrepreneurial and analytical approach, with a bias for execution

Autonomy in managing priorities and tasks
Good judgement in drafting documents, copy and graphic content
