Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

Behavioral

Tell me about a class project or internship where you had to turn a messy dataset into something useful. What did you do first?

whether the candidate has real hands-on data cleaning experience versus just theoretical knowledge

Tell me about a time you had to explain something technical or data-related to someone who didn't have your background.

communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences, which the posting explicitly calls out

Describe a time you worked on a team project where people had different priorities or opinions about how to approach the work.

collaboration skills in a cross-functional, team-oriented environment as the role requires

Have you ever mapped out a process, like a workflow or a set of steps, to find where it was breaking down or slow? Tell me about it.

real experience with process mapping and improvement, one of the named intern project types

Why supply chain analytics specifically, and why Mercury Marine?

genuine interest in the industry and role versus applying broadly to any analytics internship

Technical

What's the difference between a dashboard that looks good and one that actually changes how someone makes a decision?

understanding that analytics work has to be operationally usable, not just visually polished

Have you worked with Power BI, SQL, or Python? Tell me about something specific you built or analyzed with one of them.

actual proficiency level versus just listing tools on a resume

What does 'responsible AI' mean to you, in practical terms?

whether the candidate has genuine thought about ethics in analytics or is just repeating a buzzword from the posting

How would you decide what to measure to know if an analytics tool you built is actually working?

ability to connect analytics output to business outcomes rather than treating a model or dashboard as the end goal

Situational

Walk me through how you'd approach a business team telling you they want 'better visibility into inventory' but nothing more specific than that.

ability to translate a vague business ask into a clear analytical use case, a core function of this role

Say you're asked to support a proof of concept using machine learning for a supply chain problem, like predicting delays. How would you start figuring out if that's even the right approach?

whether the candidate can think critically about when AI/ML is appropriate versus just applying it because it sounds impressive

If you found an error in a dataset partway through an analysis you'd already shared early findings on, what would you do?

integrity and diligence around data quality, especially under time pressure

If you had two weeks left in a project and realized the data you needed wasn't reliable enough to finish it the way you planned, what would you do?

problem-solving and judgment under real project constraints, plus willingness to flag issues rather than push through them
