This is a hands-on, problem-solving role suited for candidates who enjoy working with real-world data, thrive with a degree of ambiguity, and want exposure to how a data science function operates inside a large, global organization.

What our internship provides:

• Paid on-site summer internship (up to 12 weeks) starting in May 2027

 Valvoline Global Operations Americas Headquarters is located in Cincinnati, OH. We prefer candidates willing to work an in-office work schedule (4x per week).
