INTERNSHIP — Insights and Analytics

Paid placement, July 17- December 22, 2023

Changing the world, one book at a time.

As a team of dedicated book-loving professionals, we discover, shape, and share content that nurtures thoughts, dreams, and conversations around the globe, ensuring that new and established voices are heard.

We are actively seeking to add team members from communities with lived experiences of marginalization and underrepresentation. We respect and value each individual and are committed to creating a more diverse team and establishing a culture of belonging. If you identify as Black, Indigenous, a person of colour, a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community or another marginalized group, we strongly encourage you to apply.

Penguin Random House Canada internships:

In this role, you will engage in meaningful work that supports your professional growth and facilitates learning in your area of specialty while you work to contribute to the success of our books. You will be surrounded by others with the same curiosity, drive, and passion for books you will bring to this role.

While strong preference will be shown to those within commuting distance of Toronto, we are also accepting applications from remote candidates. We are currently working under a hybrid model where employees are in-office at least 3 days per week.

We’re looking for a career-focused Insights & Analytics Intern to join our team.

What you’ll do:

You will play a critical role in contributing to our Insights & Analytics team’s complex and dynamic work. You’ll indulge your curiosity as you research and analyze data, then leverage technology and new tools to synthesize and communicate your insights to the rest of the team and members of senior leadership.

What you can expect from your internship experience:

You will gain valuable experience in the industry, make connections, and build relationships with teams across our company. You will become an expert in using a variety of tools and applications and learn how to write basic Structured Query Language (SQL), all while working alongside a cohort of other interns, and playing a part in better understanding the Canadian book market and its readers. Through on-the-job learning, you will develop and gain new skills that will be valuable to you in this role and in the future.

Our interns are paid $18.00 per hour and work 35 hours per week. You will be one of a group of interns working in various functions across the business. Like all our employees, you will participate in the life of our company (this includes the opportunity to attend company-wide gatherings, join the office book club, participate in educational sessions with industry experts, etc.), and you’ll benefit from perks including a discount on books ordered through our online store.

Competencies and knowledge you’ll bring to this role, and continue to build:

• Ability to take a dataset, ask questions of it, interpret the results, evaluate its shortcomings and supplement with secondary research
• Knowledge of or experience using tools like Google Trends and social listening tools (e.g. Brandwatch) to conduct secondary research on trends in Canada
• Excellent communication and presentation skills and the ability to craft stories with data using effective visualizations
• Experience creating graphs and other data visualizations
• Ability to provide concise summary of market and business performance
• Strong organizational and time management skills
• An effective and proactive approach to problem-solving
• An inclusive approach, supported by cultural competency and a proven ability to collaborate with people from across a wide range of diverse backgrounds
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite or equivalent and collaborative digital tools, including, Slack, Asana, Google Docs, Teams, etc.
• Experience with programming languages like Structured Query Language (SQL) or Python is considered a plus, though not required
• Enhanced knowledge, awareness, and experience with the culture and history of any community that has faced marginalization is considered a plus
• And of course, a love for books!
