Energy Risk Intern

Team Overview 

At Equinix, energy is a strategic enabler of our global digital infrastructure. Managing power costs, commodity exposure, and market risk is essential to operating one of the world’s largest data center platforms. 

The Energy Market Risk Intern will support the Energy team by contributing to energy risk analysis, commodity portfolio insights, and market intelligence, while also assisting with cost, billing, and operational workflows. This role is designed for students who are passionate about energy and power markets, and who bring finance, accounting, and IT skills as part of their analytical toolkit.
