'09 Internship opportunity @ Lands' End for technically-minded MBA

Lands' End is looking for a technically-minded MBA student interested in an incredible internship for Summer 2009. Although an engineering or IT background is not required, the ideal student thrives on solving analytical problems by digging into the data. The intern will take ownership of the data and the pressing questions/unknowns for a specific area within the company (e.g. Returns, Backorders, etc.) and will be challenged to not only create a custom data discovery and reporting application but also analyze the data to make specific conclusions and recommendations to the business. Software- and data-specific training will be a crucial part of the internship.

Paul Osterhaus, manager of Enterprise Business Intelligence at Lands' End and BYU MBA alum, will be on BYU campus Friday 12/5 to meet intern candidates.

If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, contact Tyler Waterfall @ tyler.waterfall@landsend.com or 608-937-5223.

On a personal note, I love working here in Information Services (IT) at Lands' End! Great people -- many BYU alumni -- great place to live, great compensation, and challenging and exciting assignments. My job is a great balance of technical (programming, analytical thinking) and business (cross-functional interaction, change management, data/investment strategy) effort.
