Role Overview: We’re seeking an MBA intern to help us evaluate how next-generation data centers will meet their growing power and reliability needs — and where a 4+ hour sodium-ion BESS could play a role. The intern will conduct market, technical, and financial research to map opportunities for both front-of-the-meter, behind-the-meter and hybrid deployments.

• Differentiate front-of-the-meter vs. behind-the-meter deployments, identifying hybrid models in development.
• Assess use cases for 4+ hour duration energy storage in data-center power systems (synchronous loads, reliability, curtailment mitigation, grid services, etc).
• Evaluate economic and regulatory drivers shaping energy strategies for data centers in key markets.
• Recommend where Peak’s sodium-ion storage could deliver the most value within evolving data-center power / energy system design, substantiating through technoeconomic and financial modeling.
• Facilitate business development with potential customers and partners including hyper-scalers, data center developers and other power and data center ecosystem players.

Minimum Qualifications

• Current MBA student with strong analytical, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• Interest in energy transition or digital infrastructure, and comfort with quantitative market, technoeconomic and financial modeling.
• Strong ability to translate technical and economic advantages into effective presentations for customers and partners.
• Strong ability to work cross-functionally with Peak’s ESS engineering and Sales teams.
• Background in energy, data centers, infrastructure, or tech strategy preferred, engineering degree is a plus.
