The Business Transformation Intern will support the Customer Core (CIS Modernization) program within the Products & Services Tower at Xcel Energy, based in Minneapolis, MN. The team is responsible for designing and delivering future-state customer, billing, and product/service processes as part of a large-scale enterprise transformation.

As the program transitions into detailed design, development, and training preparation, the intern will work alongside business leads, product owners, and cross-functional tower teams (e.g., billing, reporting, and customer experience) to help translate business requirements into actionable deliverables. This includes supporting process design documentation, identifying gaps (e.g., non-SAP integration considerations), and preparing materials that enable successful system build, testing, and end-user training. The intern will gain exposure to large-scale utility transformation, regulatory considerations, and how business, technology, and data teams collaborate to deliver customer-focused outcomes. Work will be performed in a hybrid environment based in Minneapolis or Denver, with frequent interaction across distributed teams.

• Assist in creation of training and change management materials to support future system adoption (job aids, process guides, presentations)

• Coordinate inputs from product owners, SMEs, and tower leads to ensure alignment across customer, billing, and reporting workstreams

• Support program reporting and organization needs, including preparing summaries, tracking action items, and maintaining documentation repositories

• Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying inefficiencies or risks in current processes and proposing structured solutions
