Data Analyst Placement Student

Who we are:

Started by a former school district network admin in 1995, the business has grown almost entirely through referrals. Obando Data Systems is a small IT shop: the owner, four technicians and a part-time office manager.

The internship:

This role is about accuracy first. A wrong number in a report is worse than a late one. Remote, open to candidates across Costa Rica. Normal business hours, Monday to Friday, with some flexibility.

Day to day:

• Maintain the data dictionary and keep dashboard filters up to date
• Build and update dashboards in Power BI, Tableau or Looker Studio
• Answer ad hoc data requests from sales and support within a day or two
• Join a weekly call with the analytics lead to review your work
• Clean and merge data in Excel or Google Sheets using VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP and pivot tables
• Automate repetitive spreadsheet tasks with Python, Apps Script or Power Query
• Track marketing campaign results using Google Analytics 4 data
• Write SQL queries to pull sales, order and customer data from PostgreSQL or BigQuery

What we're looking for:

• Based in Costa Rica for the duration of the internship
• Eligible to work in Costa Rica
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Available for the full internship period
• Must be able to follow up on data requests without constant reminders
• Some familiarity with Power BI or Tableau, even from a course or certification
• Basic SQL, enough to write SELECT queries with joins and filters
• Clear written English for reports and status updates
• Comfort with numbers and strong attention to detail
