    Job description

    What You’ll Do:

    As our Service Line Strategy Intern, you’ll contribute to MISO’s Operations and Planning strategy by researching emerging industry trends and translating them into strategic insights and recommendations to help leaders prepare MISO for the future of the electric grid.

    You’ll gain hands-on experience with:

    • Researching emerging industry trends and assessing what they could mean for MISO’s future capabilities
    • Helping translate insights into multi-year priorities and leadership-ready recommendations
    • Developing or improving strategic roadmaps, dashboards, and planning views using tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, Power BI, and MISO’s strategic planning tools

    A Great Day in This Role Means:

    A great day in this role means exploring an emerging industry trend, connecting it to MISO’s Operations and Planning strategy, and working with team members and business leaders to understand what it could mean for the future.

    You’ll know you’re making an impact when your research or analysis helps clarify a strategic question, identifies a new consideration, or turns complex information into an insight that leaders can use to make better decisions.

    This is a Unique Opportunity Because:

    What makes this team unique is the combination of high-impact work, broad exposure, and a collaborative team environment. You’ll get to work across Market Operations, System Operations, Transmission Planning, and Resource Planning, while learning directly from experienced leaders and seeing how strategic decisions are made across MISO. The team is curious, driven, supportive, and willing to challenge ideas — creating a great environment to ask questions, build industry knowledge quickly, and contribute meaningful work rather than just observe.

    What You’ll Be Proud to Share:

    • Researched a major industry trend and assessed what it could mean for MISO’s Operations and Planning strategy.
    • Developed recommendations or a leadership-ready view that helped inform future priorities.
    • Delivered something tangible that shows you helped MISO think differently about the future.

    Qualifications at a Glance:

    Term: June 2 – August 13, 2027 | Full-time | Paid

    Location: Carmel, IN | Eagan, MN | Housing available for qualified students

    Academic Level: Undergraduate and Graduate

    Degree: Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Economics, Data Science, Business, Finance, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or another related analytical or strategy-focused degree

    Required Technical Skills:

    • Power BI, the Microsoft Suite of products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)

    Preferred Skills:

    • AI/LLM experience
    • Experience in areas such as power systems, energy markets, economics, strategic planning, data analysis, statistics, or business analytics
    • Research projects, case studies, or internships analyzing complex information, identifying trends, developing recommendations, and communicating findings clearly — prior energy-industry exposure is a plus, not a requirement

    By the End of Your Internship, You’ll Walk Away With:

    • A strong understanding of MISO’s Operations and Planning strategy, built by contributing meaningful work to the team
    • Ownership of a strategy-focused project from research through recommendation
    • Experience translating an industry trend or challenge into clear implications for MISO, and presenting findings to the team or business leaders
    • Expanded professional network across MISO and the energy industry
    • A strong résumé bullet such as: “Researched emerging industry trends and developed strategic recommendations for MISO’s Operations and Planning leadership.”
