Your role at a glance

The team

This is a 12 month internship as part of TPR's established internship programme, based in the Analysis and Insight team.

In your placement, you will gain valuable experience of working on real world analytical projects that both matter to TPR and help us get the best value for pension savers.

With your first 6 months spent in analytics and your second 6 months working as an intern in our Data Science team, your work will range from data visualisation to statistical modelling.


Working within a large team, you will also have the opportunity to grow your analytical network, both learning from and contributing to the wider team's work.

In both teams you will learn to work directly with stakeholders to identify their requirements, agree milestones and communicate your results.
