Job Description
Intern/Co-Op sessions are considered temporary employment. No full-time employment commitments are made. However, depending on our business needs, some interns may be considered for a full-time position following the conclusion of the session conditioned upon the intern graduating from their academic program and being available to commence full-time employment at a specified time.
JOB SUMMARY
The Decision Support organization turns Inventory Solutions' most complex questions into fast, confident decisions, combining business knowledge, mathematics, AI and machine learning, and software engineering to produce the models, applications, and platforms behind those decisions.
Within Decision Support, the Strategic Solutions & Enablement (SSE) team sets the shared architecture, tooling, and methodology standards used across the organization and builds the internal-facing decision surfaces teams rely on across areas like transaction intelligence, logistics decisioning, and operational optimization.
As a Data Scientist Co-op on the SSE team, you will work alongside experienced data scientists and engineers on real projects that support business decision-making. This is a multi-term co-op designed to give a student progressively deeper hands-on experience across several terms. You will learn how production data science is done end to end — from framing a business question, to exploring data, to building and validating models, to communicating results — under the guidance and mentorship of the team.
You are not expected to own products independently; you are expected to be curious, learn quickly, and contribute meaningfully to the team's work.
PRIMARY DUTIES / KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Learning & Applied Analytics
Assist data scientists in exploring, cleaning, and preparing data from a variety of internal sources for analysis and modeling.
Write Python and SQL to extract, transform, and analyze data, building your proficiency with the team's tools and standards.
Help build, test, and tune machine learning models under guidance, learning classical methods (e.g., regression, gradient boosting, clustering) and applied generative AI approaches.
Support the creation of prototypes, demos, and visualizations that show how data and AI can be used to solve business problems.
Collaboration & Communication
Participate in team standups, design discussions, and code/peer reviews, gradually taking on more responsibility across terms.
Document your work clearly so it can be understood, reproduced, and built on by the team.
Present findings and progress to the team and, over time, to business partners, adjusting depth for the audience.
Growth Across Terms
Return across multiple co-op terms, alternating semesters, building continuity and increasing scope and independence with each term.
Apply feedback and coursework to progressively more substantial contributions to SSE projects.
