Business Operations Intern

About Base

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

We are seeking an intern to join Base’s Business Operations team that focuses on business development, finance, and talent. During your internship you’ll be tasked with important problems for the business and expected to deliver just like any other full-time member of the team.

You’ll be at the center of sourcing and developing new growth-oriented partnerships, conducting financial and operational analysis across the business, and improving key operations to support our growth.

What You’ll Do

• Generally see no task as too big or too small for you to pursue. Our Business Operations team is lean and has a broad scope; there are many specific opportunities awaiting you if you have a thoughtful and effective approach.

• Support our relationships and overall offering to existing business partners like homebuilders and utilities.

• Build analytical tools to understand our operational and financial performance, uncover opportunities for efficiency or growth, and provide visibility to the Base team on critical information.

• Automate operational processes to more efficiently support our members and deployment growth.

• Analyze markets for new partnership potential and potential growth vectors.

What You'll Bring

• Analytical and data-driven mindset; comfort working with modern tools (e.g., SQL, dashboards, CRMs) and rolling up your sleeves when needed.

• Data-driven approach to decision-making and sound business judgment to determine project performance and financial viability, grounded in analytical thinking.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Proficiency in Powerpoint/Slides and Excel.

• Bias toward action and simplification - constantly pushing toward alignment, clarity, and execution on tight timelines.

• Comfortable with ambiguity and effective prioritization in a fast paced entrepreneurial environment.

• First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.

• Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.

• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.

• Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.

• Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.

• Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.

• Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.
