Areas of placement may include, but are not limited to:

We perform a variety of analyses, such as customer segmentations and lifetime-value (LTV) calculations. We develop high-level business KPIs and measure business performance against them, identifying areas that need more attention from our product and marketing teams. We collaborate with the data science team to develop forecasts traffic and revenue forecasts for our ad sales and finance teams. We also undertake ad-hoc analyses for many teams across the business, including PR, rewards programs, etc. As an intern with the Strategic Analytics team, you will be responsible for one or more “deep-dive” projects, in which you will learn about a specific area of our ticketing business, explore data related to that area, and develop insights and recommendations that our stakeholders can use to improve our products and better serve our customers. Finally, you will have the opportunity to present your findings and recommendations to some of the leadership within our organization.
• Fandango Data Operations: The data operations group are technical analysts and technical product managers that work with our data engineering team to oversee pipeline projects in our data warehouse. We gather requirements from various business stakeholders and translate those into technical specifications for the engineering team. Additionally we oversee back end validation projects that effect our payments systems and financial reporting for all Fandango businesses. As a data operations intern, you will represent the team on at least one project, acting as a technical product manager. You will work with business stakeholders to build a list of requirements, write up an initiative and create user stories for the data engineering team. You will attend meetings with the various teams on the project (our projects tend to be collaborations across the company), and provide status updates to our project managers and team leads. You may also have an opportunity to dig into data issues if they arise. Because we work with many groups within Fandango, you will have an opportunity to work with leaders from our ticketing platform, Rotten Tomatoes, Vudu, Marketing, etc. Some of the projects we will be working on in Q1 of 2023 include, Vudu data warehouse, new ticketing item type, RT reporting, and various payment system integrations for accounting.
