Though individual responsibilities will vary by supporting division, some functional examples include:

  • Data wrangling - research, analyze, and interpret operational data to solve complex business problems
  • Technical data product management - drive "product" mindset for building scalable data solutions that provide business value
  • Automated reporting - develop frameworks that enable faster reports & dashboards for insights generation
  • Data platform testing - pilot and test out new data platform and tools that may benefit the operations analytics organization
  • Data optimization - identify opportunities to enhance operational metrics & processes

Students are required to complete three alternating semesters of work and school; all rotations must be completed before the student's graduation. Note: Students are not permitted to work part-time hours and should refrain from taking classes and working as a co-op in the same semester. The full-time work schedule for this role, while remaining actively enrolled in an approved undergraduate curriculum, is as follows:

  • Fall 2026
  • Summer 2027
  • Spring 2028
* Please ensure that this alternating semester rotation works with your university, curriculum, and/or academic advisor before applying.
