Xcel Energy is modernizing the systems and processes behind every customer interaction through its multi-year CIS Modernization Program. Within the program, the Customer Core organization is structured into functional towers that each own a major area of the customer lifecycle. This role sits on the Credit & Collections functional tower, which is responsible for the processes and system capabilities that manage customer credit, billing collections, payment arrangements, deposits, and past-due accounts.  The Business Analyst Intern will support the Credit & Collections tower within the Business Transformation team, working alongside experienced business functional consultants and transformation leaders.
