Data & Analytics Internship

**Description** America's Group one of the fast growing companies in the Auto Auction industry has an Internship opportunity available on our Data \& Analytics Team. The Data \& Analytics Internship gives students the opportunity to work inside a modernizing analytics organization focused on data science, analytics engineering, machine learning, data quality, and enterprise-scale reporting. As part of America’s Group D\&A team, whose purpose is to enable data-informed decisions across the enterprise, you’ll help build the future state of our analytics capabilities, including governed data marts, predictive modeling, AI-ready datasets, and scalable insights. This internship is designed for students who are excited about data science \+ engineering, not traditional finance. **What You’ll Do** As a D\&A Intern, you will collaborate with the team across projects involving: **Analytics Engineering \& Data Preparation** * Clean, transform, and structure large-scale datasets for analysis and machine learning * Build or support data pipelines using SQL, Python, and/or Alteryx * Assist in creating AI-ready, modular dataset outputs aligned with our evolving data mart and governance framework **Machine Learning \& Predictive Modeling** * Support feature engineering, model evaluation, and performance tracking * Help design experiments or evaluate historical behavioral trends (e.g., vehicle, buyer/seller, conversion, pricing) * Explore methods for anomaly detection, forecasting, and model explainability **Visualization \& Insights** * Build analytical dashboards and reporting assets using Tableau Cloud or Power BI * Translate patterns and model outputs into insights for operational and financial teams **Data Governance, Quality \& Documentation** * Contribute to data quality checks, lineage documentation, and definition consistency across the enterprise * Support the rollout of a business glossary and certified D\&A datasets **Collaboration \& Learning** * Work with analysts, developers, and data scientists to deliver actionable insights * Participate in weekly analytics huddles, standups, and innovation discussions **What You’ll Gain** * Real-world experience in enterprise data science \& analytics engineering * Direct exposure to the D\&A strategic vision: predictive analytics, AI adoption, self-service enablement, and modern data governance * Mentorship from analysts, developers, and data scientists * Ownership of meaningful projects that contribute to our 2026 analytics roadmap * A portfolio of production-style work that goes beyond typical academic exercises **Requirements** **Minimum Requirements** * Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in: Data Science, Computer Science, Information Systems, Statistics, Mathematics, Analytics, Engineering, or related technical field * Comfortable with Python and/or SQL through coursework or projects * Basic understanding of statistics, data wrangling, or machine learning concepts * Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail * Ability to work in the Indianapolis/Carmel area for the duration of the internship * Excellent written and verbal communication skills * Demonstrated intellectual curiosity and willingness to learn new tools quickly **Preferred Requirements** * Experience or coursework in: + Python (pandas, scikit-learn, numpy), R, or similar + SQL databases and relational modeling + Machine learning fundamentals or academic ML projects + Data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI, or Looker) + Cloud tools or APIs * Familiarity with version control (Git), pipelines, or workflow tools (e.g., Alteryx) * Prior internship, project, or research experience in analytics, data engineering, or data science * Interest in applied AI, automation, or predictive analytics (RAG, embeddings, LLM workflows is a bonus, not required)
