Junior Analyst
Internship · Analytics · Reports to Lead Analyst
We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Marshall University student to join our team as a Junior Analyst. You'll work alongside experienced analysts on real client engagements — not hypothetical exercises. From building dashboards and cleaning datasets to running analyses that directly inform business decisions, this internship offers hands-on experience that bridges the gap between classroom learning and professional analytics work.
This is an opportunity to make a tangible impact on local businesses while building a portfolio of real-world projects.
What You'll Do
- Assist with client data analysis — Help prepare, clean, and analyze datasets from local businesses using Python, SQL, and Excel
- Build dashboards and visualizations — Create clear, actionable dashboards in tools like Metabase, Tableau, or Power BI that clients actually use
- Support data integration projects — Help connect and consolidate data from business tools (POS systems, CRMs, accounting software)
- Contribute to insight reports — Draft sections of monthly client reports, translating data findings into plain-language recommendations
- Conduct research — Perform competitive analysis, market research, and industry benchmarking for client engagements
- Participate in client meetings — Observe and contribute to discovery calls, check-ins, and presentation meetings with real clients
- Assist with internal operations — Help improve internal processes, templates, and documentation
Pay Tiers
Compensation is based on your current skill level at time of hire. Interns are evaluated at 30-day check-ins and can move up tiers during the internship.
