Internship Opportunity for CP Stats Students @ FOX Corp!

 Please see the information below from Jenna Harrelson regarding an internship opportunity for CP Stats Students at FOX Corp:

2018 CP Stats Grad here! I’m currently the manager of the Business Intelligence team at FOX Corp. We just opened our applications for our Spring 2024 internship (it is a paid internship, 16-24 hours/week time commitment but we’re flexible) and I wanted to pass along the opportunity to any current CP Statistics students. The internship is best suited for a current Junior, Senior or Graduate student interested in learning about Data Analytics in the Broadcast Media industry. My team is based out of NYC, but the opportunity is available as a remote internship.

 

Our past interns have gotten exposure to a variety of tools and different types of analyses, including Data Viz through Tableau and Looker, Data Automation through SQL and Python scripts, A/B and Multivariate testing and results, Data Model building, and competitive landscape research to name a few.

 

Here’s the link to the internship page: https://www.foxcareers.com/Search/SearchResults?jobFunction=Internships&language=en, the students can leave my name as the referral so I know who is a CP student.

 

Feel free to share my email with the students as well, I’m happy to answer any questions they may have before or after applying.

 

Thanks so much!
