Corporate Development

About Base

Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

About the Role

We are looking for someone to build out our corporate development capabilities. The business operations team at Base is very lean, and this role will be one of its main pillars. You’ll be tasked with building and maintaining our market presence and intelligence by engaging with peers and advisors in our space, sourcing and evaluating partnership and M&A opportunities to accelerate our growth, and serving as the external representative of Base Power in external settings.

We are building the defining platform business of the current energy infrastructure build-out. You’ll be at the heart of the action by shaping and developing our highest-level corporate strategies to achieve that.

What You’ll Do

• Source, evaluate, and execute new business opportunities via partnership, M&A, or other means.

• Establish and maintain relationships with bankers and others in our space to increase Base’s visibility into relevant market developments.

• Research and engage with peers in our space and adjacent spaces to build our “house view” on potential partners, M&A targets, and opportunities for Base to build.

• Collaborate with Base CEO and leadership team on capital allocation decisions.

What You'll Bring

• Experience in investment banking, investing, consulting, corporate venture, or related roles that give you an expert knowledge of corporate strategy fundamentals.

• Detailed understanding of energy infrastructure markets, or an ability to quickly build that network and understanding.

• Valuation modeling skills and experience to evaluate new business opportunities.

• Effective verbal and written communication skills.

Our Values

• First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules.

• Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.

• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset.

• Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results.

• Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information.

• Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in.

• Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things.

Do the best work of your life at Base.
