Data Management Internship

Reason Foundation, a nonpartisan public policy research institute, is looking for a data management intern to implement planned structural changes to a Salesforce database with over 80,000 contact records. Responsibilities will include implementing structural changes using DemandTools software, performing data cleaning and establishing automated data cleaning routines, and collaborating with the database manager to determine additional structural changes.

Start date, length of the internship, and hours per week are negotiable for the right person. Ideally, the intern will work out of Reason’s LA office, but a remote arrangement is possible. Stipends are available and will be discussed on an individual basis.

Qualifications:

A working knowledge of intermediate excel functionality is a must. Knowledge of Salesforce and DemandTools is not necessary, but a plus. An ideal candidate will have an interest in a career in data management.

Benefits:

The data management intern will be fully trained in basic Salesforce administration and DemandTools functionality. Salesforce is currently used by over 5,000 non-profit organizations around the world, and many more in the for-profit community.

To apply, please send a resume and cover letter to Amy Pelletier at amy.pelletier@reason.org. Your cover letter should describe why you are interested in the internship, and explain your availability.
