Global Data Analyst Intern

The Global Data Analyst Intern will use large, diverse, cross-country datasets to build foundational data products that enable better decision-making across the organization. This role will focus on creating high-quality dashboards and reports that are trusted, scalable, and widely used — in service of our mission: bigger harvests, healthier families, and richer soil for smallholder farmers.

Responsibilities

Build Foundational BI Data Products

• Design, build, and maintain high-impact operational reports (to run day-to-day work) and dashboards (for oversight/KPI purposes), to enable analytics across functions.
• Ensure dashboards and reports are accurate, well-documented, and built for long-term sustainability.
• Monitor adoption and continuously improve usability and relevance. This role is less focused on one-off data projects and more focused on building durable tools that people consistently use and trust.

Managing Tech Service Desk Day-to-Day Operations

• Oversee the daily operations of the tech service desk, ensuring high-quality service and efficient problem resolution.
• Ensure timely escalation and resolution of issues, acting as the first point of contact for critical service desk matters.
• Manage service desk workflows, track performance, and ensure proper follow-up on all service requests.

Own Department Analytical Domains and Partner with Data Engineering

• Serve as the primary analyst for the department.
• Deeply understand business processes and logic within the department.
• Own the full delivery of dashboards and data analytics products: make prioritization decisions, understand user needs, wireframe and design outputs, and own delivery and iteration.
• Partner closely with Data Engineers to ensure business rules are embedded in the warehouse and semantic layer.
• Clearly communicate data limitations and ensure metric consistency.

Strengthen Analytical Standards Across the Global Supply Chain (GSC) Department

• Contribute to a community of practice for embedded analysts across OAF.
• Codify and uphold standards for dashboard design, documentation, governance, and metric definition.
• Support the adoption of best practices in BI development and data storytelling.
• Provide technical coaching and support skill development across GSC.

We have a strong culture of constant learning and we deeply invest in our people. You’ll have weekly check-ins with your manager, access to mentorship and training, and regular feedback on your performance.
