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

As a Content Intern, you'll join our creative team, gaining practical experience shooting, editing, and producing the video that tells the Base story.

What You'll Do
  • Help shoot and edit content across product, homeowner, install, and social formats.

  • Support paid and organic creative for Meta, YouTube, and other channels.

  • Turn loose briefs into ideas, helping figure out what to shoot and how to tell the story.

  • Partner with the creative team on larger campaigns and productions.

  • Help keep footage, project files, and assets organized so the content library stays useful over time.

  • Use AI and new creative tools to help the team move faster or make better work.

What You'll Bring
  • Interest in video, storytelling, and visual craft.

  • Some experience shooting and/or editing — a portfolio or reel is a plus.

  • Strong communication skills in English, both verbal and written.

  • Ability to work from an ambiguous brief and make good creative decisions with limited oversight.

Preferred Skills
  • Familiarity with Premiere Pro. Experience with After Effects, Photoshop, or similar tools is a plus.

  • Relevant experience.

About the Team

The Creative team owns how Base looks, sounds, and feels. Brand campaigns, paid ads, photography, illustration, all of it. We’re five people who like each other a lot and take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. The work is real — we’re building a consumer brand in an industry that’s never had one — and it ships fast. You’ll learn a ton, make things people actually see, and have FUN. Come build with us.

Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive.

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.
