Business Operations Intern

Energy suppliers face many challenges in their B2C business, including low margins, low differentiation of their electricity offers, emerging market players, unprofitable electricity trading, and limited IT resources.

Podero is a software platform for utilities that reduces the energy cost of flexible consumer devices like heat pumps, EVs and chargers, inverters, and home batteries by over 25%. Utilities roll out Podero using our white-label web app or integrating our API into their apps. Podero steers devices based on consumers’ PV production, fluctuating spot electricity prices, and the grid-stabilizing balancing energy markets. Podero enables utilities to trade the aggregate device power on the energy markets, ensuring a win-win situation for both utilities and consumers.

Customers of Podero include E.ON, TotalEnergies, oekostrom, KELAG, and more.

At Podero, we’re building the future of energy consumption – combining the power of smart software with everyday devices to transform how people consume energy. Our mission is bold : turn homes and their devices into the most powerful tool for reducing CO₂ and electricity costs. We’re early - and moving fast. We’re backed by leading investors like Planet A and Systemiq Capital and already working with major energy providers like E.On and Total Energies.

If you’re excited about shaping a company from the ground up and solving real-world problems with cutting-edge technology, Podero is the place to do it. Join us to help build a company that’s lean by design, technically deep, and obsessed with solving the energy transition’s hardest problems.
