• Draft 3–4 partnership theses (who, why now, expected value, first proof step) focused on quick wins → scalable bets.

• Build a simple metrics dashboard tracking engagement coverage, signal → decision cycle time, and opportunity pipeline. 
• Produce executive communications (2-page briefs + slides) ahead of key engagements, refresh on a regular cadence.

As a Business Development & Industry Relations Intern, you’ll join ATPCO’s Strategy organization (Business Development & Industry Relations function, working closely with the Partnerships Group) to help build and manage a single, living system of record for “everything industry-utility at ATPCO” related. You will connect engagements to ATPCO’s strategic priorities (e.g., Product Catalog, Product Performance, taxes, settlement, exchange rates, standards, etc.), create lightweight operating recommendations, and surface partnership opportunities so leaders can align, decide, and execute faster.  

You’ll combine research, structured analysis, and crisp communication to turn meetings and artifacts into a clear map, a reliable database, a reusable brief/deck, and a simple dashboard. Tools that improve efficiency and impact for ATPCO, partners, and mutual customers.
