  • Develop clear, engaging data visualizations that translate complex data into actionable insights.
  • Support marketing and communications efforts by preparing data-driven content for reports, blogs, and media outreach.
  • Execute and refine data queries using Lightcast's proprietary database and other public data sources; ensure data quality and accuracy.
  • Contribute to client-facing research projects in sectors such as higher education, workforce development, and human capital management.
  • Write concise, insightful summaries of research findings for both internal and external audiences.
Education and Experience
  • Currently pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Economics, Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.
  • Prior internship or co-op experience in research, analytics, consulting, or marketing preferred.
  • Skilled in data manipulation and analysis using tools such as SQL, R, or Python.
  • Experience building data visualizations in Tableau, Excel, PowerPoint, or R.
  • Strong writing and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex findings into clear, accessible insights.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and intellectually curious — with an interest in connecting data insights to marketing and storytelling.
