About the Role

Worldly is seeking a Sustainability Science Intern to support the documentation, analysis, and improvement of Worldly’s social assessment data and related insights during a 10-week summer internship.

This role will focus on building a clearer internal understanding of how Worldly’s hosted social assessment results are structured and interpreted, validating differences across assessment versions, and identifying opportunities to improve how this information is communicated to users.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, comfortable working with complex data, and enjoys translating technical findings into clear documentation and practical recommendations. This internship provides hands-on experience for someone who can work independently, navigate ambiguity, and collaborate across teams to improve the quality and usability of sustainability content.

What You'll Do

Projects and scope of work may include:

• Documenting how Worldly’s social assessment data is structured, including how versions, fields, and outputs are organized and interpreted

• Creating internal documentation that explains how to read and interpret assessment results for both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Comparing assessment results across versions to identify meaningful structural or methodology-related differences

• Supporting data validation and quality review by tracing outputs back to underlying source structures and logic

• Reviewing existing user-facing assessment insights and evaluating usefulness, clarity, and gaps based on internal feedback

• Delivering recommendations to improve how assessment insights are communicated (e.g., clearer explanations, better framing, more actionable interpretation guidance)

• Collaborating with the Product team to ensure documentation and recommendations align with real user needs

What You’ll Gain

This internship offers a unique opportunity to:

• Gain hands-on experience working with sustainability assessment data and ESG insights

• Develop skills in documentation, data interpretation, and analytical investigation

• Contribute to improving how sustainability insights are communicated to global users

• Work in a fully remote, global startup environment

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Sustainability Science and Product

• Build experience translating technical findings into clear, actionable guidance

We’d Like To See

• Current student or recent graduate in Sustainability, Environmental Studies, Data Science, Public Policy, or a related field

• Strong attention to detail and interest in understanding how data is structured and interpreted end-to-end

• Comfort working with complex or messy information and translating it into clear documentation

• Analytical mindset and willingness to investigate the “why” behind results

• Strong written communication skills (this internship has a major documentation component)

• Ability to work independently and manage deliverables over a 10-week internship

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with SQL, spreadsheets, or data analysis tools

• Exposure to social compliance programs, audits, or assessment-based sustainability work

• Experience summarizing technical findings for non-technical audiences
