2027 Summer Intern - Service Line Strategy
misoEagan (MN)
About the role
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, Power Point, 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.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
