Purpose of the Role:

Support the Chief of Staff to the Chief External Affairs & Growth Officer through policy and business research, executive briefing preparation, project coordination, and tracking of organizational priorities. The intern will synthesize complex information into clear, actionable materials and support internal and external engagements involving energy, regulatory, legislative, political, and market issues. Constellation's 2027 Summer Intern Program will run approximately 10 weeks, from June 7, 2027, through August 13, 2027.

This internship offers a unique opportunity to see how strategy, public policy, legal, communications, sustainability, advocacy, and development come together. The intern will work directly with the Chief of Staff and support projects that cut across the External Affairs & Growth organization, gaining exposure to senior leaders, enterprise priorities, and the processes behind executive decision-making. 

A significant part of this work is policy-focused and centers on preparing the Chief External Affairs & Growth Officer for both internal and external engagements. The intern will help research the energy, regulatory, legislative, and political issues that shape Constellation’s business, and turn that research into the briefings, talking points, and background materials. 

This is a great opportunity for someone interested in the intersection of energy, public policy, politics, corporate strategy, communications, and organizational leadership who wants hands-on experience seeing how a large, complex organization turns priorities into action.
