2027 Data Analytics Internship

Symetra has an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Data Analytics Intern!

At Symetra, we share a deep commitment to bringing value to underserved communities and people and helping them take steps toward financial freedom. That’s our way of describing people that can be and to do what they value. Our interns work on real, meaningful projects that contribute toward our goal, and are an important part of our Symetra community.

Symetra's Internship Program for Summer 2027 is entirely remote - all interns will learn and work in a virtual setting. The internship duration is 12 weeks.

As a Data Analytics intern, you’ll help shape the way Symetra uses data by supporting the design and maintenance of clean, reliable, well-modeled datasets that power analytics across the organization. You’ll learn about our products and workflows, collaborate with engineers and analysts, and contribute to data products that support real business objectives.

Team placements & focus areas: (you’ll be matched based on skills and interest)

• Shared Services
  Work with business stakeholders to determine data analytics and/or data science needs. Provide business stakeholders with a deliverable that may include AI/LLM work and/or analytics (eg, dashboarding or otherwise).

• Analytics Engineering (Data Platform — Hosting)
  Build reliable Python+SQL pipelines and transformations that scale, applying version control and basic testing to deliver trustworthy datasets.

• Analytics Engineering (AI Engineering)
  Build and deploy internal AI-powered applications, applying software development best practices to enable other employees to get the most out of AI.

• Analytics Engineering (Partner Data Ecosystem)
  You'll join Symetra's Analytics team supporting Partner Relationship Management (PRM) — the platform we're building to create a single, trusted view of the agents, agencies, and distribution partners we do business with. Your project may blend hands-on data analysis, discovery work with business and engineering partners to map how partner information actually moves through our systems, and building something concrete — a dashboard, a data pipeline, or an AI-powered prototype that plugs into PRM to automate work that's manual today. You'll finish the summer with a shipped piece of work, exposure to leaders across Distribution and Technology, and a real feel for how a large insurance business runs on its data.

• Compliance Data Analytics
  Build and support Power BI dashboards and SQL-based analytics, turning complex or imperfect compliance data into clear, reliable insights while improving workflows through automation and AI-enabled tools.

What you’ll do:

• Build and refine data pipelines and transformations (Python + SQL) for defined use cases.

• Structure messy/unstructured data into analyzable, documented models.

• Prototype dashboards/BI views that communicate findings and KPIs.

• Contribute to data quality checks, basic testing, and clear documentation.

• Present results and learn best practices in analytics engineering.

Who You Are

• Comfortable with SQL and Python (coursework or projects).

• Interested in analytics engineering patterns (staging/marts, testing, version control).

• Able to work with imperfect data and communicate findings clearly.

• Curious, collaborative, and eager to learn.

For more qualified candidates (preferred/advanced)

• Hands-on with dbt and Snowflake; basic data tests and CI familiarity.

• Exposure to NLP/sentiment or LLM workflows (e.g., summarization, embeddings).

• Experience with orchestration (Airflow/Prefect/Dagster) and Git-based delivery.
