About the Role: Data & Analytics

The Sourcebooks Data Team is looking for a curious, detail-oriented student to support our work turning publishing data into insight. Projects vary by season, so you'll pitch in wherever the team's priorities land in the fall — this could include reporting, analysis, dashboarding, or data infrastructure work, depending on what's on our plate. Duties include (but not limited to):

• Assist with building and maintaining reports and dashboards used across the company
• Help analyze sales, marketing, and title performance data to support business decisions
• Support data cleaning, organization, and documentation efforts
• Contribute to special projects and ad hoc analysis as priorities come up throughout the fall
• Collaborate with team members across departments to understand data needs and deliver useful, accurate answers
• Provide general administrative support as needed

What We're Looking For:

• Interest and/or coursework in business analysis, data analytics, data science, or data engineering
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Comfort working with spreadsheets and data tools; experience with SQL, Python, or Power BI is a plus but not required
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
• Curious, proactive attitude and comfort with ambiguity as priorities shift
• A genuine interest in books and publishing

Eligibility & Requirements

• Must be a current college student (sophomore, junior, senior) or recent graduate
• Able to commit to 21 hours/week for the full program duration (9/14 – 11/21/26)
• Must reside in one of the following states for the duration of the internship: Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin.
