Data analyst intern

At Schneider Electric, our interns don't just observe-they contribute, create, and grow.

As a data analyst intern, you will help build and launch analytics-based audit tests end-to-end, designing rules and thresholds, shaping data, automating runs, and publishing dashboards that inform risks.

You'll support early use cases from data sourcing and transformation through to classification and documented review.

You will contribute hands-on, learn our methods, and gradually take ownership of well-scoped components.

At the same time, we welcome you to bring fresh ideas on architecture, tools, and emerging technologies (including applied AI) that could improve how we run continuous audit - prototype responsibly, demonstrate value, and help us assess adoption.

This is more than an internship-it's a launchpad for your career.

* Participating in initial/monthly test cycles (e.g., terminations-with-access), performing data quality checks, and assisting auditors during reviews.


* Writing clear specifications of sources, field mappings, logic, and results; contribute to templates and operating procedures
