MBA Intern, Strategy & Development

We are looking for an MBA Intern, Development & Strategy to join our world-class team.

The Opportunity

Soluna's growth depends on finding the right sites before anyone else does. Every week, inbound leads arrive from independent power producers, renewable developers, landowners, and brokers — and our team sources many more. Most of them will not work. A small number are exceptional. The difference between the two is a disciplined screen: is there curtailed or low-cost power, is there a credible path to interconnection, is there land, fiber, and water, and does the arithmetic clear our return threshold? This internship owns the front end of that funnel. You will take raw leads, run them through Soluna's qualification criteria, build a first-pass economic screen, and produce a clear recommendation on whether the opportunity advances to full diligence or gets a fast, well-reasoned no. The modeling is deliberately light — enough to size the opportunity and pressure-test the assumptions, not a full project finance build. Speed and judgment matter more than precision at this stage. This is a high-ownership role on a small team: your screens will be read by the people who decide where Soluna builds next.

What You'll Do

Lead Qualification & Screening Run inbound and sourced leads through Soluna's qualification framework — power cost and curtailment profile, interconnection status and queue position, land control, fiber and water availability, and counterparty credibility. Produce a standard one-page qualification summary for each lead so the team can make a go / no-go call quickly and consistently. Recommend advance, park, or pass on every opportunity you touch, with the reasoning written down — including the reasoning behind the passes. Maintain the lead intake queue so nothing sits unreviewed and the team always knows what is waiting. Light Financial Modeling Build first-pass economic screens for qualified sites — estimated cost of power, capacity sizing, indicative capex
