Business Operations Intern, Commercial Partnerships

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

4d • Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking an intern to join Base's Commercial Partnerships team, which supports the day-to-day success of our partners. These partnerships have introduced thousands of homeowners to Base and continue to scale rapidly each week. 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 work on two fronts: supporting the day-to-day success of our existing partners, and helping target, analyze, and stand up new partnerships. On the existing side, that means market and competitive analysis, reporting, and problem-solving that keep our partners performing and motivated to win alongside us. On the new side, that means identifying prospective partners, building the business case for why a partnership makes sense, and helping get it off the ground. This is a foundational team that sees the entire lifecycle of a channel partnership and coordinates across sales, marketing, design, finance, product, deployment operations, and membership experience to make it work. You'll have direct visibility across the organization.

Requirements

• Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with comfort building financial models and business cases in Excel.
• A structured approach to problem-solving - able to break down ambiguous business questions into clear frameworks and recommendations.
• Interest or experience in market analysis, competitive research, and go-to-market strategy, ideally in a B2B2C or partnership-driven business.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to turn analysis into a clear, concise recommendation.
• Proficiency in PowerPoint/Slides and Excel; comfort with SQL or other data tools is a plus.
• A real bias to action. You don’t wait to be told.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and effective prioritization in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Nice To Haves

• Comfort with SQL or other data tools is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Support market and competitive analysis to identify and evaluate new partnership and market opportunities for the Commercial Partnerships team.
• Build financial and business case models to size partnership opportunities, test assumptions, and support decisions.
• Help design and track go-to-market plans for launching new partnerships or expanding into new neighborhoods within existing partners' footprints.
• Build recurring reporting, dashboards, and check-ins that keep the team and partners informed and aligned on program performance.
• Turn strategic recommendations into action - work with sales, marketing, design, finance, product, deployment operations, and membership experience to move initiatives from analysis to execution.
• Support the team in resolving escalated partner issues and turning one-off fixes into documented, repeatable processes.
