Role
Who you are
- Academic Background: Currently studying for or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Strategy/Business Operations, Journalism, Writing, Design, Graphic Design, Software Engineering, or a related field
- AI-Curious: You should be actively using AI tools in your work and thinking about what they make possible
- A Self-Starter: You are comfortable in a fast-paced environment and have a bias towards doing. You would rather build something useful than a perfect deck
- Mission-Driven: You care deeply about the energy transition and being part of the solution
- We understand some people may not apply for jobs unless they tick every box. But if you're excited about joining us and think you have some of what we're looking for, even if you're not 100% sure, we'd still love to hear from you
What the job involves
- Duration: 8-10 weeks starting in July or August 2026
- Team: Growth Team
- You'll work on live, high-stakes problems - using AI to accelerate how a climate tech company goes to market, tells its story, and wins. This isn't a shadow-someone internship
- You'll own a real brief, present to leadership, and if it works out, stay
- The Growth Team owns how Kaluza goes to market: positioning and narrative, marketing and communications, brand, product marketing, strategy, and innovation. We're a small team with a disproportionate impact on where the company goes next
- We’re looking for ‘Mavericks’ to join us for an internship programme - not afraid to take risks, question the status quo, and pursue ideas that could lead to new innovations and transformations - increasing Kaluza’s impact
- Kaluza EI (Energy Intelligence) Labs is a targeted 8 to 10 week summer internship programme
- This is not a traditional internship; it is a two-way innovation exchange. You will join another high-potential student to solve live, high-impact problems while helping us embed fresh, AI-native perspectives into our company strategy
- This programme is for the restless, the builders, the scientists, and the problem-solvers who see what could be instead of settling for what already exists - across Kaluza's markets, the customers we serve today, how we embed AI in our product and strategy, and how we set ourselves up as an AI-first company
- You will be embedded in Kaluza’s Growth Team, the function that shapes our market strategy and translates the future of energy into product stories. Your fellowship is structured as follows:
- Week 1: Onboarding and Orientation – Get immersed in Kaluza’s platform, meet the team, and get set up with our tools
- Weeks 2-3: Discovery Sprint – Conduct desk research and stakeholder conversations to shape your specific problem and approach
- Weeks 4-6: Build and Apply – The core of the fellowship. You will work on a live brief using AI tools to go further and faster than traditional methods allow
- Week 7: Synthesis – Pull together your findings, shape your final output, and prepare your presentation
- Week 8: Demo Day and Debrief – Present your work to the Growth Team and Kaluza leadership
- Potential Project Areas:
- All projects are designed AI-first, using agent orchestration and intelligent tooling as the default approach. You may work on areas such as:
- AI-Native GTM Engineering: Mapping and rebuilding Growth Team workflows using agent orchestration to eliminate manual work
- Market Intelligence Engine: Building automated competitor and market signal tracking to feed strategic planning in real-time
- Kaluza Environmental Impact Framework: Designing an AI-assisted framework to quantify CO2 is placed through flexibility and avoided grid emissions
- Brand Experience System: Building a scalable brand system with AI-powered asset generation across touchpoints
- A real path to a role: Successful completion of the fellowship may lead to a full-time role at Kaluza
- Mentorship: You will be paired with a day-to-day mentor from the Growth Team and a senior project sponsor
- Work that matters: Kaluza sits at the centre of the energy transition. The problems you work on this summer will shape how millions of homes use clean energy
Application process
- Closing date for applications: May 31st 2026

Our take
The energy landscape is one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving sectors in the world. More and more energy retailers are looking to move further toward digitisation and reap the benefits of modern technology in an increasingly connected world. But many are struggling with the transition, held back by legacy operating systems which slow them down, drain resources, and hamper innovation.
This is where Kaluza comes in. An ecosystem of platforms whose services range from energy billing to smart electric vehicle charging, Its real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing the cost to serve and boosting customer engagement. Essentially, its platform is aimed at helping businesses streamline their operations, saving them time, effort, and money which can be better invested elsewhere.
Kaluza is riding the momentum of a growing desire for sustainable business and services. Its program relating to electric car charging, for example, will be able to capitalise on huge new demand in that sector - over 100,000 electric cars are already on the roads in the UK, and Bloomberg New Energy Finance has predicted that electric cars will account for over 50% of new global car sales by 2040. As the globe moves further towards sustainable use of energy in the coming years, Kaluza could be very well positioned to capitalise.
