Description

Be a part of one of the fastest growing communities in Indiana. The City of Fishers is known for its innovative approach to local government and commitment to continuous improvement. The Business Solutions Group partners with departments across the City to improve processes, modernize data practices, and support better decision-making.

The City is seeking a Summer Intern to assist with foundational data and records work that supports ongoing modernization efforts. This position will focus primarily on inventorying existing hard copy records to help determine appropriate next steps, including digitization, retention, or disposal in alignment with City, County, and State policies.

This role is well-suited for someone who is detail-oriented, reliable, and interested in gaining exposure to how data supports city operations.

• Assist with low-level data analysis tasks as needed
• Gain exposure to how data is used to support operational and strategic decisions across the City
• Perform other related duties as assigned

Minimum Qualifications

• Candidate must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, preferably in data analytics, public administration, information management, business, or a related field;
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently on repetitive tasks;
• Comfortable working with physical documents and performing organizational work;
• Ability to follow established processes and handle sensitive information appropriately;
• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office products, especially Excel;
• Effective communication and organizational skills;
• Interest in local government operations or data-related work is a plus, but not required;
• Ability to work both on-site (various City of Fishers, IN buildings/locations) and at an off-site location as needed;
• Must have a valid driver's license and the ability to be insured to drive a city vehicle which includes at least 3 years of driving experience;
• Work hours are typically Monday through Friday during standard business hours, with some flexibility based on workload.
