Business Operations, MBA Intern

Base Power Company • Austin, TX

8d • Onsite

About The Position

The business operations team at Base is a lean group of generalists who take high-stakes, not-very-defined problems, give them structure, and drive them to completion. As our MBA intern, you'll get a real piece of that work for the summer, not a side project. You'll pick up a defined slice of whatever the team is running right now (today that's the integration of a recent acquisition; it could also be a commercial partnership or a market entry) and drive it to a decision.

Requirements

• Currently pursuing an MBA, returning for your second year in the fall.
• 2–5 years of pre-MBA experience.
• Comfort in data; SQL already, or a real willingness to be writing it in week one.
• Comfort operating without a map; you create structure where none exists.
• Low ego, high ownership. We are people others want to work with, and there is no “that's not my job”.
• Fluency working alongside AI; you use it to multiply your output and know when to check its work.

Responsibilities

• Cover one part of the business for the summer: know its plan, its unit costs, and its tradeoffs better than anyone outside the team.
• Own a discrete project inside it end to end — the forecast it runs on, a market or product entry, a workstream in an acquisition integration, or the scoreboard it's missing — and leave behind something that still runs without you.
• Structure the problem yourself; define the goal, name the owners, write the memo that forces the tradeoff.
• Build the analysis yourself — the model, the scoreboard, the one-pager — and defend the assumptions to the people who have to hit them.
• Get into the data yourself; our warehouse, our install and market data, our AI tooling, rather than waiting on someone to pull it for you.
• Work across functions without formal authority; rally owners in engineering, market operations, manufacturing, accounting, and customer operations.
• Spend time where the money actually gets spent: ride along on an install, sit with market operations, walk the manufacturing floor.
