Business Development Intern

What You'll Do

Pipeline visibility, forecasting & customer database

-

Build and maintain a pipeline tracking system that gives the team clear visibility into every active opportunity, its stage, owner, value, and next step.

-

Develop a demand forecasting view that weights opportunities by stage and close probability, so leadership can see expected demand

-

Define and document the workflow — stages, fields, definitions, update cadence — so the system stays consistent and trustworthy as more people use it.

-

Produce regular pipeline and forecast snapshots for internal reviews, and flag risks, gaps, and stale opportunities.

Market research for new-market entry

-

Research and size new target markets and segments; demand drivers, key players, buying behavior, and where Exowatt fits.

-

Build project-economics analyses to help judge whether an opportunity is attractive.

-

Map the policy and regulatory landscape relevant to each market — incentives, permitting, interconnection, and tariff structures and translate it into clear implications for our strategy.

-

Synthesize findings into concise, decision-ready briefs, comparison matrices, and recommendations for the GTM team and leadership.

Required Qualifications

-

Currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program (business, economics, engineering, energy/environment, public policy, or a related field), or a recent graduate.

-

Strong analytical skills and comfort working with quantitative data; able to structure a problem and reason through numbers.

-

First-principles approach: able to break ambiguous problems down to their fundamentals and reason up from there, rather than relying on assumptions or how things are usually done

-

High proficiency in spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets), including formulas and building clean, reusable models.

-

Excellent research skills — able to find, vet, and synthesize information from many sources into clear conclusions.

-

Strong written communication; can turn analysis into a tight brief a busy reader can act on.

-

AI-native: comfortable integrating AI tools into daily work and using them to research faster, build systems, and produce sharper analysis — and able to apply judgment to verify and refine the output.

-

Organized, detail-oriented, and self-directed — comfortable building structure where little exists and owning a deliverable end to end.

-

Genuine interest in energy, climate, and/or commercializing hard technology
