About the Role:
IT has a track record of success with interns across their various teams, all who have the ability to directly contribute to the success of the department. Interns apply knowledge gained in the classroom to develop relevant professional experience while creating meaningful relationships. We look for highly motivated individuals who are proactive, eager to learn and ready to contribute.
IT Business Analysts function as a key partner between business and technology, translating evolving business needs into clear outcomes and actionable direction for delivery teams. They deliver business analysis, project management and quality assurance expertise to identify and implement technology solutions that meet the business needs and challenges. IT Business Analyst interns will assist in delivering value-add solutions working on small project requests and/or as part of a large project team while learning and applying agile principles and other project delivery methodologies.
This is a hybrid internship, working three days per week in our downtown Milwaukee, WI office or downtown Madison, WI office and two days remote. The intern must be able to work full time during the summer, 37.5-40 hours per week, and work part time during the school semesters, 15-20 hours per week. We are seeking a local student who can start in June 2027.
