Location: San Mateo, CA (Hybrid)
Duration: Summer 2026 (12 weeks)
Compensation: $5K/mo
Reports to: Head of RevOps
Company: Bedrock Data
About Bedrock
Data is moving faster than security can keep up, fragmented across clouds, SaaS apps, and AI systems, without the context teams need to protect it. Bedrock Data built the industry's first Metadata Lake to solve this: a living map of all your data that shows what it is, where it lives, who's using it, and how sensitive it is, without ever moving the data itself. This lets enterprises automate security and governance at scale, making data protection continuous and invisible instead of manual and disruptive. Global leaders in technology, finance, healthcare, and biotech trust Bedrock Data to make data security operational. With a $25M Series A led by Greylock, Bedrock is led by repeat founders and technologists who built industry-leading enterprise platforms at Sumo Logic, Rubrik, and Cohesity.

The Role
As our BI Analytics Intern, you won't just be pulling data, you will be building the systems that allow our team to understand it. You will play a foundational role in standing up our analytics environment in Salesforce, extracting actionable insights from transcripts, and establishing a source of truth for our internal data assets to ensure our Sales and Finance teams are completely aligned.
Key Responsibilities
Sales & Forecasting Dashboards: Take the lead on designing and deploying custom analytics within Salesforce. You will establish KPI reporting for pipeline health and sales velocity, and build robust forecasting dashboards to give leadership clear visibility into projected revenue and quota attainment. Audit existing Salesforce data quality and work with stakeholders to clean, normalize, and structure data for reliable reporting
Finance & RevOps Reporting: Bridge the gap between sales activity and financial performance. You will design finance dashboards in Salesforce to track critical metrics (e.g., ARR, pipeline, and win rates), ensuring the Finance team has real-time access to accurate, reliable data. You will help establish a cadence of automated, self-serve reporting for the Sales and Finance leadership teams
Transcript & LLM Data Integration: You will analyze LLM-generated transcripts, summaries, and sales call data to uncover trends in buyer sentiment, objection handling, and win/loss drivers.
Build the Internal Data Repository: Establish and structure an internal knowledge repository. You will document data models and build a data dictionary to ensure our analytics practices are scalable and easily accessible to the rest of the company.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner directly with Sales, Finance, RevOps, and Product teams to understand their unique data needs and translate business questions into technical requirements.
What We’re Looking For
Education: Currently pursuing (or recently graduated with) a degree in Business Analytics, Finance, Data Science, Information Systems, Economics, or a related field.
Business Acumen: A solid understanding of basic sales and financial metrics (pipeline coverage, forecasting, ARR).
AI Curiosity: A strong interest in Large Language Models (LLMs) and how conversational AI is transforming business intelligence.
Organizational Skills: A systems-thinker who enjoys building structured documentation and keeping complex information organized.
Bonus Points
Familiarity with Python or R for data manipulation.
Familiarity in SQL and experience with data visualization tools.
Prior exposure to Salesforce (or similar CRM platforms); you understand how sales and revenue data is structured (Leads, Opportunities, Accounts).
Curiosity building foundational analytics.
What You’ll Get Out of It
High-Impact Projects: You will build revenue and data infrastructure that the company will rely on long after your internship ends.
Mentorship: Work closely with senior leaders across multiple departments (Sales, Finance, Ops) who are invested in your growth.
Hands-on AI Experience: Real-world experience analyzing unstructured data using cutting-edge LLM tooling.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship in Business Intelligence Lead
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
BI Lead roles require demonstrable expertise in data modeling, SQL, and visualization tools like Tableau or Power BI. Document your technical qualifications thoroughly before applying, because designated sponsors assess your background against the structured training objectives your host employer submits.
Distinguish Trainee from Specialist category early
If you graduated within the last 12 months, the Trainee category applies. Professionals with five or more years of BI-specific experience may qualify under Specialist instead. Applying under the wrong category delays your DS-2019 and can stall an otherwise ready offer.
Search Migrate Mate to find J-1 compatible BI roles
Use Migrate Mate to filter Business Intelligence Lead positions at U.S. employers open to exchange visitors. Targeting roles where sponsorship infrastructure already exists reduces the friction of convincing a host to coordinate with a designated sponsor organization for the first time.
Verify your host employer can commit to a training plan
Your host employer must complete a detailed training plan describing the BI skills, tools, and milestones covered during your program. Ask hiring managers before accepting an offer whether their legal or HR team has worked with a designated sponsor organization like Cultural Vistas or AIPT previously.
Check for the two-year home residency requirement upfront
Some Specialist and Trainee participants from certain countries, or those funded by a government or international organization, face a two-year home residency requirement before switching to an H-1B visa or green card path. Confirm your waiver eligibility before structuring long-term U.S. career plans around J-1 visa status.
Reference O*NET during your training plan review
Designated sponsors cross-reference your stated duties against occupational definitions when evaluating your training plan. Reviewing the O*NET profile for Business Intelligence Analysts gives you the standardized language sponsors expect to see, making your application faster to approve.
Business Intelligence Lead J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Business Intelligence Lead role?
Most BI professionals qualify under the Trainee category if they have less than five years of field experience and graduated within the past 12 months, or under the Specialist category for those with deeper expertise. The Specialist category is designed for professionals with recognized standing in their field, which suits senior BI roles involving strategy, team leadership, and cross-functional data architecture.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa if the employer is just the host?
The visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as CIEE, Cultural Vistas, or AIPT, that issues your DS-2019 form and monitors your program compliance. Your host employer, the company where you perform BI work, is not the legal sponsor. They coordinate with the designated sponsor but do not hold sponsoring authority themselves.
How do I find U.S. employers willing to host a J-1 exchange visitor in a BI Lead role?
Migrate Mate lets you search Business Intelligence Lead positions at U.S. employers that are open to exchange visitor arrangements. Targeting companies that have prior experience working with designated sponsor organizations significantly speeds up the process, since those hosts already understand the training plan requirements and compliance obligations tied to J-1 hosting.
What does the training plan need to include for a BI Lead position?
Your training plan must describe the specific BI tools, methodologies, and competencies you will develop during the program, broken into phases with measurable objectives. For a BI Lead role, this typically includes sections on data pipeline management, reporting architecture, stakeholder communication, and any team supervision responsibilities. The designated sponsor reviews this plan before issuing your DS-2019.
Does completing a J-1 program affect my ability to get an H-1B or other work visa later?
It can, if the two-year home residency requirement applies to you. Exchange visitors subject to this requirement must return to their home country for two years before obtaining an H-1B, L-1 visa, or immigrant visa, unless they obtain a waiver. Not all J-1 participants are subject to this rule, so confirming your status with your designated sponsor before accepting an offer is essential.
