Data Strategy Intern

At Moody's, we unite the brightest minds to turn today’s risks into tomorrow’s opportunities. We do this by striving to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome to be who they are—with the freedom to exchange ideas, think innovatively, and listen to each other and customers in meaningful ways.

If you are excited about this opportunity but do not meet every single requirement, please apply! You still may be a great fit for this role or other open roles. We are seeking candidates who model our values: invest in every relationship, lead with curiosity, champion diverse perspectives, turn inputs into actions, and uphold trust through integrity.

Skills and Competencies

We are seeking an intern with a unique blend of skills and competencies, capable of bridging the gap between the development world and business. The ideal candidate will be instrumental in automating tests and performing sophisticated data analysis, thereby enhancing our operational efficiency and decision-making processes.

• Exceptional Organizational Abilities: Demonstrated ability to manage and prioritize tasks efficiently while maintaining high standards of work across multiple projects.
• Analytical Thinking and Precision: Strong analytical skills with a keen attention to detail. The candidate should possess the ability to dissect complex problems and propose innovative solutions.
