About This Opportunity
As a Analytics Solutions Co-op, you will play a meaningful role in the Analytics Solutions team, partnering closely with analytics team to help shape the future of the organization through data-driven insights and strategic thinking.
In this role, you'll collaborate across functions and gain exposure to a wide range of stakeholders—including senior leaders—while contributing to projects that influence key business decisions.
Co-op Duration
This opportunity runs from January 2027 through June 2027, with some flexibility on start and end to accommodate academic schedules.
Weekly Schedule
This is a full-time co-op experience, 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, designed to provide hands-on, real-world exposure.
The Impact You Will Make
As an Analytics Solutions Co-op, you'll work on high-impact, fast-paced projects that support meaningful business outcomes while accelerating your professional growth. You'll gain exposure to core analytics disciplines — including data analysis, SQL and data preparation, business intelligence and dashboard development, and analytics product design — applied broadly across marketing, performance, and enrollment domains.
With mentorship from senior leaders, you'll help conduct analyses that inform Risepoint's strategic direction. Working cross-functionally, you'll structure analyses, develop hypotheses, and deliver actionable, value-added recommendations that drive business growth.
What You Will Do
- Support end-to-end analytics projects across the Analytics Solutions team: pulling and cleaning data, extracting key insights, communicating hypotheses to stakeholders, and helping inform business decisions
- Write and optimize SQL queries in Databricks to prepare, transform, and validate datasets for analysis and reporting
- Help build and maintain Power BI dashboards and reporting experiences (semantic models, DAX measures) that deliver insights to internal leadership and university partners
- Contribute to Risepoint's AI-first analytical practices by incorporating tools like Claude and Databricks Genie into day-to-day workflows to accelerate analysis and communication; AI is a productivity tool here, not a replacement for analytical judgment, and the expectation is full ownership of and accountability for the work product
- Conduct exploratory analyses (funnel, cohort, and performance) to surface KPIs, answer business questions, and connect marketing investment to downstream outcomes through enrollment
- Form a deep understanding of Risepoint's data, systems/tools, processes, personnel, and strategic direction across the analytics ecosystem
- Collaborate cross-functionally with senior Directors and VPs to communicate data insights and support data-informed decisions
- You will work closely with a Director, Manager, and Analysts
What Success Looks Like
- Good communication and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively convey complex concepts and recommendations to stakeholders at all levels
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Good ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams and maintain analytical accuracy under time pressure; you validate before you publish and catch discrepancies before they reach stakeholders
- Collaborative problem-solving mindset and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams, driving change through analytical insights
- Impact is measured by the quality and reliability of the analyses, dashboards, and insights you help deliver, and how directly they inform Analytics Solutions' work and business decisions
- You will also grow in your ability to independently manage and execute data analytics projects end to end
