Data Operations Analyst Intern

About the Role We are looking for detail-oriented Operations Data Analyst Interns to support Instawork's Field Operations (FO) team. You will work with operational data-markets, territories, business locations, worker coverage, and visit schedules-to build and maintain route maps and planning spreadsheets that help FOs run efficiently in the field. This is a fully remote internship with clear deliverables, performance incentives, and regular feedback. If you enjoy working with data in Excel, have strong attention to detail, and want hands-on exposure to operations at a fast-growing marketplace-this role is for you.

  Clean, validate, and organize location and operational data (addresses, zones, markets, visit frequency, priorities).

  Create route maps and territory layouts using Excel (tables, pivots, conditional formatting) and/or mapping tools (e.g., Google Maps) as directed.

• →

  Support route optimization by grouping stops by geography, time windows, and FO capacity.

• →

  Produce weekly and daily planning sheets for FOs: who visits where, in what order, and with what targets.

• →

  Track coverage gaps (uncovered businesses, overdue visits, imbalanced territories) and flag issues to the FO lead.

• →

  Maintain documentation of assumptions, data sources, and version history for planning files.

• →

  Incorporate feedback from FOs and managers to improve accuracy and usability of plans.
