Overview:
The Revenue Operations & Data Governance team is building a Master Data Management (MDM) foundation to establish a trusted, unified view of our customers and accounts. As our MDM & Data Quality Intern, you will work directly alongside a Solution Architect to design and validate our MDM Proof of Concept, focused on a single, well-scoped entity domain (Accounts).

This is a remote summer internship for 12 consecutive weeks with start dates between May 18 - June 15, 2026.
Responsibilities:
- Partner with the Solution Architect to audit and map Account data across source systems (CRM, billing, product), documenting field-level lineage, ownership, and quality gaps.
- Support the design and testing of match/merge and survivorship rules for the Account entity, defining which source system wins for each attribute and why.
- Assist in building and validating a sandbox POC Golden Record for the Account domain, including deduplication logic, confidence scoring, and a sample output dataset.
- Measure and report on baseline data quality metrics, duplicate rates, completeness scores, and field-level accuracy, to establish a benchmark for MDM impact.
- Document POC outcomes, key decisions, edge cases, and a clear handoff package to guide the production engineering team.
- Develop a draft data stewardship process, including how records get flagged, reviewed, and approved, in collaboration with the Solution Architect and business stakeholders.

- Currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Data Management, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or a related field, with at least one quarter/semester remaining after the internship.

- Comfortable working with SQL and exploring relational or CRM datasets.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with CRM data structures (Salesforce or similar) and common data quality challenges like duplicates, incomplete records, or inconsistent formatting.
- Exposure to MDM concepts such as entity resolution, match/merge logic, or survivorship rules, even in an academic context.
- Strong analytical thinking, able to investigate messy data, identify patterns, and form clear recommendations.
- Excellent documentation skills, able to translate technical findings into clear, business-facing write-ups and process guides.
- Collaborative and curious, comfortable asking questions and working within a structured mentorship model.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship in Master Data Management
Align your training plan to MDM competencies
Your DS-2019 requires a detailed training plan linking each phase of your placement to specific skills. Map it explicitly to data governance frameworks, master data modeling, and tools like MDM platforms your host employer uses.
Distinguish Trainee from Specialist before applying
If you hold a degree and have under five years of MDM experience, the Trainee category fits. If you're a seasoned data governance professional without a relevant degree, Specialist is the correct J-1 category and requires a different designated sponsor.
Search Migrate Mate for J-1-aligned MDM roles
Not every data management team is set up to host J-1 participants. Use Migrate Mate to filter for U.S. employers whose roles align with J-1 sponsorship, saving time you'd otherwise spend vetting positions manually.
Target enterprises with dedicated data governance functions
Host employers in financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing are more likely to have structured MDM programs that satisfy the J-1 training plan requirement. Fragmented data teams at early-stage companies rarely have the oversight infrastructure designated sponsors require.
Verify the 2-year home residency rule applies to you
MDM professionals sponsored through government-funded programs or from certain countries face a 2-year home residency requirement before changing to H-1B or green card status. Confirm your situation with your designated sponsor before accepting a host employer's offer.
Confirm your host employer can meet wage requirements
Even though J-1 is not an employer-sponsored visa, your host employer must pay the prevailing wage for your MDM role under DOL guidelines. Cross-check the expected compensation against the OFLC Wage Search for your occupation and location before the offer is finalized.

Find Master Data Management JobsMaster Data Management J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Master Data Management professional?
It depends on your background. If you're a current student or recent graduate seeking structured training, the Intern category applies. Working professionals with a degree and some MDM experience typically qualify under Trainee. Experienced practitioners with deep domain expertise but no relevant degree may qualify under Specialist. Your designated sponsor organization confirms the correct category based on your profile and the host employer's training plan.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa if a company hires me for an MDM role?
The hiring company is your host employer, not your visa sponsor. Your J-1 visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as Cultural Vistas or CIEE, that issues your DS-2019 form, approves your training plan, and monitors your compliance throughout the exchange. The host employer participates by co-signing the training plan and providing the placement, but cannot issue a DS-2019 on its own.
How do I find U.S. employers open to hosting a J-1 MDM participant?
Most standard job postings don't indicate J-1 hosting capacity, which makes filtering difficult. Migrate Mate lets you search for U.S. roles and employers that align with J-1 sponsorship, so you're not sending applications to companies that have no infrastructure to work with a designated sponsor. Targeting data-intensive industries like financial services, healthcare, and logistics increases your chances further.
Does my J-1 training plan need to cover specific MDM tasks or tools?
Yes, and the level of detail matters. Designated sponsors require a phase-by-phase training plan that ties each period to measurable learning objectives. For MDM roles, that typically means specifying the data governance frameworks, master data modeling techniques, and software platforms involved. Vague plans referencing only broad functions like 'data management' are frequently rejected or sent back for revision before the DS-2019 is issued.
Can the 2-year home residency requirement block my path to an H-1B after a J-1 MDM placement?
It can. If your J-1 participation was funded by your home government or a U.S. government program, or if your country is on the State Department's skills list for your occupation, you're subject to a 2-year home residency requirement under INA Section 212(e). This means you cannot change to H-1B or apply for a green card until you either fulfill that residency period or obtain a waiver. Confirm your status with your designated sponsor before signing any host employer agreement.
