Data Analyst Graduate Internship

We’re developing the next generation of Colleagues!

Join the data-driven culture at Citizens and learn how we keep customers at the center of everything we do. We are looking for interns to join our 10-week summer internship program and support innovative data & analytics initiatives across the bank.

Experience during the program

Our program offers interns a unique dual experience – Participants spend half of their time individually partnered with a host team within the data & analytics community to participate in ongoing work. Assignments for data analyst interns may be in areas aligned to advanced analytics, reporting and dashboarding, data visualization, data mining, automation, root-cause analysis, cohort analysis, and other ad-hoc analysis. This component of the program provides direct exposure to teams in areas that align to intern education and interests.

The other half of the time, interns work on a cross-functional team, collaborating with other Data & Analytics interns, colleagues, and business partners to work on a real-world project. Projects are tailored so interns can experience the full project cycle. Past projects centered on areas such as enhancing the customer experience, optimizing business spend, identifying new market opportunities, providing business insights, model development, and engineering metrics & dashboarding.

Interns are expected to adopt a hybrid work structure and work out of one of our headquarters in Columbus, OH, Johnston, RI, Coralville, IA or Westwood, MA.

Please note: This role spans multiple teams and business areas. As such, specific responsibilities and tools may vary depending on the host team. Interns will be matched with teams to ensure meaningful contributions and strong collaboration.
