Position Responsibilities
About the Role
Deltek's Data Science and Enablement Engineering team is looking for an Intern to support analysis and semantic modeling of customer health and CRM data. You'll work directly with data scientists, data modelers, and business stakeholders to turn raw data into insights that inform how we understand and support our customers. This role isn't just technical: you'll spend real time with business users, asking questions, pressure-testing assumptions, and making sure the data work answers the question being asked.
Recent and ongoing projects on the team include analyzing license expansion opportunities, identifying cross-sell potential, building churn risk models, standing up an MCP server for AI, and creating a unified semantic model to provide a source of truth to AI. You may contribute to similar initiatives.
What You'll Do
Meet directly with business stakeholders to elicit requirements, ask clarifying questions, and translate loosely defined business problems into well-scoped analytical questions
Support the team in collecting, cleaning, and analyzing customer health and CRM datasets to answer those business questions
Structure data-driven approaches to solve business problems, checking back in with stakeholders as understanding evolves
Perform exploratory data analysis to identify patterns, anomalies, and insights in large datasets from multiple sources
Create features from structured and unstructured data, applying feature engineering techniques to enhance model performance
Build visualizations and narratives that make complex analysis accessible to non-technical audiences
Document methodologies, assumptions, and limitations thoroughly to ensure reproducibility and knowledge transfer
Qualifications
Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or a related field
Comfort initiating conversations with business users to gather requirements and clarify ambiguous asks; this role requires more direct stakeholder interaction than a typical technical internship
Understanding of major data modeling paradigms (3NF, star schema, etc.) and database technology concepts
Proficiency in Python
SQL skills, with experience querying relational databases
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Preferred
Basic understanding of machine learning concepts (regression, classification, clustering, time series, feature engineering) and comfort discussing tradeoffs and real-world applications, even without production ML experience
Exposure to dbt
Experience with Snowflake or other cloud data warehouses
Prior coursework or project experience with CRM, customer analytics, or churn/health-scoring data
Experience presenting analysis to non-technical stakeholders, or other experience directly gathering requirements from business users (client-facing roles, consulting, product work, etc.)
