Intern, Analytics

Agency:

Weber Shandwick

Job Function:

Data and Analytics

Job Subfunction:

Data Science and Analytics

Job Description:

Are you the person who wants to know not just what happened, but why? Do you enjoy digging into information, spotting a trend, and turning a lot of data into a clear takeaway? Are you curious about how AI can help teams work smarter—without losing the human judgment that makes insights useful?

If so, we’re glad you’re here! Weber Shandwick is seeking an Analytics & AI Intern to join our Washington, D.C. team. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn how research, analytics, social listening, campaign measurement, and reporting help inform communications strategy.

You’ll work alongside analysts and integrated account teams supporting client programs across sectors such as technology, healthcare, and government. You’ll be treated as a fully integrated member of the team, with opportunities to contribute ideas, build practical experience, and learn from smart, supportive colleagues who are invested in your growth.

POV: You’re our new Analytics & AI Intern

On any given day, you could learn about a client’s industry, gather and organize data, monitor online conversations, build a chart or dashboard, help summarize findings, or support a presentation. You might be cleaning a dataset in the morning, joining a brainstorm over lunch, and helping turn new research into a clear story in the afternoon.

Every day will be a little different—and that’s the point. You’ll gain hands-on experience with the tools and ways of working that help teams understand audiences, track performance, and make smarter communications decisions. You’ll also get to explore practical ways AI can support research, analysis, and workflow improvement, with thoughtful quality checks along the way.

What You’ll Do

• Research client industries and relevant business, policy, or cultural contexts while gathering, cleaning, organizing, and quality-checking data from social listening, digital, web, and other analytics sources.
• Support analysis, campaign measurement, and reporting across paid, earned, owned, and influencer channels by identifying patterns and trends and helping build charts, tables, dashboards, and presentation-ready materials.
• Collaborate with analysts and integrated account teams, document processes, maintain organized files, communicate progress clearly, and keep assigned work moving toward deadlines.
• Explore practical applications of AI for research, summarization, analysis, and workflow improvement while using sound judgment and thoughtful quality checks.

Who are we looking for?

We think you’ll be most successful if you’re curious, analytical, collaborative, and eager to get involved. You don’t need to have every answer—but you should be willing to ask thoughtful questions, learn new tools, and take ownership of your work.

• You enjoy finding the story behind the numbers and asking smart follow-up questions.
• You’re comfortable learning new platforms and working with information that may not arrive perfectly organized.
• You can communicate clearly and turn complex information into simple, useful takeaways.
• You’re organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple deadlines with guidance.
• You’re curious about communications, culture, technology, public affairs, and the issues shaping the world around us.
• You’re interested in how AI and emerging tools can help teams work more efficiently and thoughtfully.
• You’re a collaborative teammate who enjoys contributing to a high-performing agency environment.

 

Skills: This is what you need to know—or be excited to learn—in this role.

• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, including sorting and filtering data, using simple formulas, and creating charts; the ability to summarize research clearly; and a habit of checking your work for accuracy.
• Familiarity with PowerPoint or similar presentation tools and an interest in data visualization.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational and time-management skills, with a sharp eye for detail.
• Exposure to social listening platforms such as Talkwalker, Brandwatch, Quid, or similar is a plus.
• Coursework, project work, internship experience, or other exposure to analytics, communications research, marketing, public affairs, or a related field is a plus.

What you’ll get from us

• A Supportive Launch: A dedicated buddy, built-in mentorship from analysts, account teams, and former interns, plus workshops and coaching to build practical agency and analytics skills.
• A Paid Path Forward: A paid internship at 40 hours per week, with the chance to explore where analytics, communications, and AI could take you next—and potentially grow into a future opportunity.

 

Requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in analytics, communications, marketing, business, social science, or a related field; equivalent experience will also be considered.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
• Ability to work in a hybrid capacity from Weber Shandwick’s Washington, D.C. office.
