  • Have strong analytical and quantitative skills
  • Have experience working with SQL
  • Are familiar with data modeling tools such as dbt or similar technologies—this is considered a strong advantage
  • Have experience with Python or another programming language used for data analysis—this is beneficial but not required
  • Are naturally curious and comfortable working with data
  • Can think logically and work through ambiguous problems
  • Are motivated to learn new tools, technologies, and analytical techniques
  • Have an interest in AI and its applications within analytics
  • Can communicate complex findings in a clear and accessible way

What you’ll gain…

  • Hands-on experience working as part of a Business Analytics team
  • Experience preparing and modeling datasets for downstream analysis and reporting
  • Exposure to SQL and modern analytics tools used to work with large, complex datasets
  • Experience structuring analyses and translating data into actionable business insights
  • Experience designing dashboards that clearly communicate key metrics and trends
  • Practice partnering with stakeholders and translating business questions into analytical solutions
  • Experience incorporating AI tools into analytical workflows
  • An understanding of how AI can support self-service analytics across an organization

This internship will be approximately 30 hours per week from October 6 through December 17, 2026.
