Data & Analytics Consultant Intern - Summer 2027 (Hybrid in Chicago)

Company Description

Resultant is an outcomes-focused consulting firm committed to helping clients make technology a strategic asset and use data to guide better decisions. But we’re not just data and tech experts; we are problem solvers and industry experts who work alongside our clients to help them achieve their mission.

We don’t solve problems  for  our clients. We solve problems  with  them.

We take the time to deeply understand goals and roadblocks to drive toward outcomes that serve organizations, people, and communities. Through outcomes driven by data analytics, technology solutions, digital transformation, and beyond, our team works with clients in both the public and private sectors to solve their most complex challenges. We start by learning as much as we can about who they are, how they work, and what they’re striving for so we can feel their problems as our own. Partnering with our clients means their desired outcomes are always top of mind, their challenges and strengths guiding our efforts. We build client-focused relationships before we build unique solutions that blaze past expectations.

Originally founded in Indianapolis in 2008, Resultant now employs more than 300 team members who operate remotely and from offices and hubs around the United States including Indianapolis, IN; Chicago, IL; Fort Wayne, IN; Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; and Dallas, TX.

We’re Resultant. Clients partner with us to see a difference. People join us to make one.

What to Expect from Your Summer at Resultant
Spend 10 weeks learning, contributing, and making connections at Resultant.

Equal Opportunity Employer

We embrace AI across everything we do, and that includes how you prepare for this interview. Feel free to use AI tools to research the role, practice your responses, and put your best foot forward. What matters to us is getting to know the real you — how you think, how you communicate, and what you genuinely bring to the table. Our interviews are designed to go deeper than any polished answer, so come curious and come as yourself without the support of an AI tool during our conversation.
