Consumer Research and Data Insights Placement

Consumer Research and Data Insights Placement

Ready to make magic? We’re hiring for our 12-month undergraduate placement schemes.

As a Consumer Research & Data Insights Intern, you will be placed in one of Disney’s following business lines: Disney+, Media Networks (Kids, Factual, Entertainment and Sports TV channels), Ad Sales Insights, Product & Technology, Content Development & Licensing, Studios, Consumer Products or Parks & Resorts.

By collaborating with third-party agencies and internal teams, you will assist in gathering, checking and analysing data to deliver best-in-class insights that inform and support business strategies across the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. You will be integral in ensuring the quality and usability of data and insights, ultimately contributing to actionable, data-driven and visually engaging recommendations that influence business operations (depending on the role, you could be influencing marketing, content, social media, brand, or commercial strategies) across the Disney portfolio of brands (Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, ESPN, Disney+ etc.).

While all the roles we have on offer share much common ground, some lean a bit more into Consumer Research, some lean more into Data Analytics and Operations and some are a mix of both. If you have a preference, please note this in your cover letter.
