Corporate Affairs provides expertise in government relations, communications, and community engagement, while leading external-facing efforts to deliver a smarter, stronger, cleaner energy future for over 20 million customers across New York and Massachusetts.

As a Gridtern, you will engage in both in-person and virtual events and meetings, track state and federal legislative and political activity, and provide summaries to share with the wider team.
