Job Requirements

Ready to make magic? We’re hiring for our 12-month undergraduate placement schemes. We’re recruiting several Consumer Research & Data Insights Intern roles across the business. If you’re selected, you will be placed in one of Disney’s following business lines: Disney+, Media Networks (Kids, Factual, Entertainment and Sports TV channels), Ad Sales Insights, Product & Technology, Content Development & Licensing, Studios, Consumer Products or Parks & Resorts. By collaborating with third‑party agencies and internal teams, you will assist in gathering, checking and analysing data to deliver best‑in‑class insights that inform and support business strategies across the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. You will be integral in ensuring the quality and usability of data and insights, ultimately contributing to actionable, data‑driven and visually engaging recommendations that influence business operations, across the Disney portfolio of brands (Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, ESPN, Disney+ etc.).
