Regulatory Research Internship
Research regulations across jurisdictions and add about 15 new entries a week to the database our clients use. Real work, with AI tools and a regulatory team behind you.
We usually respond within a week
About the internship
Our regulatory database tells companies around the world which rules apply to them, and you keep it complete and accurate. You'll join our regulatory team to research ESG laws, directives, reporting frameworks and guidelines across different jurisdictions, analyze them with AI tools, and add them to the database. We're expanding into new jurisdictions and new types of regulation, so what you add goes straight into a product our clients use.
In this role, you will:
Research ESG-related regulations in the jurisdictions assigned to you, using parliament and government sources, and add around 15 new entries to our database each week
Analyze regulations with AI tools, and run quality checks on your entries
Clear our backlog and keep the database current by fixing dead links and tracking proposed regulations and consultations
Support research projects for clients and internal teams, about two a month
What you'll learn
You'll learn how ESG regulation works across legal systems, from binding laws to voluntary frameworks, and how to use AI tools in legal research without losing accuracy. You'll get training sessions with the team, biweekly 1:1s with your manager, and ongoing feedback from colleagues.
Who we're looking for
You will thrive here if you:
Are following a bachelor's or master's program, in law, international relations, political science, sustainability or a related field
Have strong research and legal analysis skills, understand the difference between hard law and soft norms, and work with a high level of accuracy
Speak and write fluent English, at an advanced level
Are comfortable with Word, Excel and PowerPoint

About Datamaran
Datamaran is the AI-powered governance platform for enterprise.
Regulations change. Stakeholders shift. Markets move. Large organizations are expected to hold a clear, defensible position on all of it, and most still get there through slow manual work on fragmented signals.
We turn regulatory, stakeholder and market signals into intelligence that leadership teams can act on, built on 12+ years of expertise in non-financial risk. Risk, legal, compliance, sustainability and corporate affairs teams at Bridgestone, Dell, Cisco, Kraft Heinz and PepsiCo use Datamaran to decide what matters, and to stand behind that decision afterwards.
We are 100+ people across the UK, US, Spain and the Netherlands.
Know what's coming. Act on it.
