Job Description

Meta is searching for multiple Data Science Interns for its Small Business Group (SBG) and Global Business Marketing (GBM) group. The two groups share similar requirements regarding technical and problem solving skills, but they do have their own specific areas of responsibility: SBG: contributes directly to Meta’s mission by supporting small businesses to connect with their customers and helping them grow by using solutions like pages, stories and advertising. We succeed when we help our customers grow their business. The Data Science Intern will use data analysis to understand advertiser profiles, develop metrics to track our business, build models to provide insight into the Small Business advertiser base, identify opportunities, and impact the strategy of our Product, Marketing, and Sales teams. GBM: builds world-class business marketing programs that contribute to Meta’s mission of making meaningful connections between people and businesses. As a Data Science Intern at GBM, you are responsible for using internal and external data to uncover unique insights (about both consumers and businesses) that can inform decision making and enable business marketing and sales. You will work closely with research, marketing, sales, and other data science teams to scope, design, and execute data science projects, and to tell compelling stories from your analyses. The ideal candidates are self-starters, fast learners, and team players with experience working cross-functionally with internal partners. They love breaking down problems, building solutions, delivering actionable and data-driven insights, and working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. This is a 12 week internship.

  • Experience with data querying and manipulation using SQL, Python, or R
