This paid internship in Atlanta (Hybrid) is your chance to follow a Business Intelligence track for strategic thinkers who use data to inform business-wide decisions and do work that directly impacts a real-world product.

• Trustworthy Analysis: How to craft reliable analyses that provide data-driven insights and recommendations that influence business decisions.
• Meaningful Metrics: How to design metrics that are actually useful and keep them accurate over time.
