Intern Data Analyst, Data Insights

Save the Children International has an exciting opportunity for an Intern Data Analyst, Data Insights to join our global team.

Save the Children is a global organisation with ambitious goals. In a constantly changing environment, it is vital to stay true to its mission, vision and values, whilst being able to withstand external pressures – be those geo‑political demands, increasing stakeholder expectations, challenging funding environments, reduced access to funding or declining trust in large INGOs. Our focus is on championing the rights and interests of children worldwide, putting the most vulnerable children first. To do this we must connect effectively with the children and families we support as well as the communities and partners we work with. Continuous improvement and innovation enable us to achieve our strategic goals and deliver high impact for and with children, driven through our ambitious transformation agenda.

Across all sectors, AI, Data and Digital are critical enablers that help organisations deliver better quality work, strengthen decision‑making and drive efficiency. This is even more important in the development sector where every dollar must contribute directly to improving outcomes for children. Save the Children operates many systems and tools that generate, store and communicate data. Building on this rich data landscape, Digital Programming applies technology for the delivery of programmes for children. The AI, Data and Digital function brings these together to ensure a coherent, joined‑up approach that maximises value and strengthens programme and operational delivery.
