Data Analyst Intern at PS Seasonings – Iron Ridge, Wisconsin

This isn't a coffee-and-spreadsheets internship. As our Data Analyst Intern, you'll sit at the intersection of data, strategy, and design — helping real teams understand what's working and what isn't. You'll contribute to live Power BI dashboards, dig into messy datasets, and walk away having shaped decisions that matter.

Working closely with our Business Intelligence team, you'll collaborate across departments and build the kind of cross-functional fluency that separates good analysts from great ones. This position is designed to provide practical, hands-on exposure to BI tools, data management practices, and professional collaboration.

Extract, clean, and validate data from various sources to ensure accuracy and completeness. Maintain data models, datasets, and calculations within Power BI to support ongoing reporting and analytics needs.
