MBA Intern, Business Operations — Growth & Strategy

base-power; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 34,000 - 55,000; Full time

Job summary

Base is seeking an MBA intern for the summer to take on a defined slice of high-stakes work—such as integrating a recent acquisition, a commercial partnership, or market entry—and drive it to a decision. You’ll own end-to-end projects, build models and dashboards, and work directly with data from the warehouse, installations, and markets.

You’ll collaborate across engineering, market operations, manufacturing, and finance, gaining hands-on exposure to real business levers while shaping

Qualifications

• 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.
• 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.
