Who you are:

You are a curious and creative problem-solver who enjoys working at the intersection of data, analysis, and storytelling. You’re excited by the challenge of turning complex datasets into clear, compelling narratives that help others better understand the world around them. In this role, you will analyze commercial vehicle telematics data to uncover insights about how real-world events — such as severe weather, construction projects, and policy changes — affect transportation patterns. 

What you'll do:

As a Data Analysis & Communications Intern you’ll create engaging visualizations and write blog-style content that makes data-driven insights accessible to a wide range of audiences. Along the way, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams, apply analytical thinking, and refine your ability to communicate technical concepts in an engaging, approachable way. This role is ideal for someone who loves uncovering insights from data and is equally passionate about sharing those insights through writing, visual storytelling, or other creative formats. If you enjoy explaining complex topics clearly—or already create content through blogs, podcasts, or similar platforms — you’ll thrive in this opportunity.

The opportunity:

  • 8 - 12 month work-term beginning May 2026.
  • Full-time, paid internship: Monday - Friday, 37.5hrs/week.
  • Your first week at Geotab begins with 'GEO Launch' - a one-week Employee Orientation. Click here to learn more!
  • Learn more about the Geotab Campus Program here.
  • This posting is for an existing vacancy.

How you'll make an impact:

  • Analyze commercial vehicle telematics data to identify patterns and trends in "before and after" scenarios following events like severe weather, construction activity, or policy implementation.
  • Design and create data visualizations that clearly communicate your findings — we encourage creativity and experimentation with visual formats.
  • Write and publish blog posts (weekly or bi-weekly) that combine your analysis, visualizations, and narrative to tell compelling stories about transportation dynamics. 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify interesting research questions and refine your analytical approach - collaboration between data science, product, marketing, and strategic communications teams is essential to ensure your research is technically sound, product-aligned, and strategically valuable.
  • Manage a consistent publication schedule while maintaining quality and accuracy in your work.

What you'll bring to the role:

  • Education & Background:
    • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in data science, statistics, journalism, communications, urban planning, geography, economics, or related field
    • Demonstrated interest in both quantitative analysis and qualitative communication 
  • Technical Skills:
    • Experience with data analysis using tools such as Python (pandas), SQL
    • Ability to create visualizations using tools like plotly, kepler.gl, or similar platforms
    • Comfort working with large datasets and performing comparative statistical analysis
  • Communication & Creative Skills:
    • Strong writing skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
    • Portfolio of writing samples (blog posts, articles, newsletters, etc.) demonstrating your ability to make data engaging [bonus qualification, not required]
    • Interest in visual storytelling and design 
    • Examples of creative projects (personal blog, podcast, YouTube channel, social media presence) that showcase your communication style [bonus qualification, not required]
  • Work Style & Mindset:
    • Self-motivated with strong time management skills to meet regular publishing deadlines
    • Attention to detail and commitment to accuracy in both analysis and writing
    • Curiosity about transportation, urban systems, policy impacts, or related fields
    • Enthusiasm for data advocacy—you believe data should inform and inspire action
    • Comfort with iteration and incorporating feedback
If you got this far, we hope you're feeling excited about this role! Even if you don't feel you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
