About the Role

Fanatics Collectibles is seeking a Manufacturing Planning & Analytics Intern to join our Manufacturing Project Management and Scheduling / Planning teams for Summer 2027. Our teams set and track milestones from digital file delivery through packout and plan capacity across the facility by shift, day, week, month, and year.

Today, much of this work is done with pen and paper, and we don't learn enough from past actual performance. As an intern, you'll help add intelligence to these processes by using past data and tools such as Excel, Claude, Airtable, and Power BI.

Your first focus will be how we plan which jobs we run and in which months, based on capacity, prioritization, and commercial needs.

What You'll Do

• Analyze Past Performance: Use historical data to understand how planned schedules compare with actual performance.
• Improve Monthly Job Planning: Help improve how we plan which jobs we run and in which months, based on capacity, prioritization, and commercial needs.
• Build Planning and Tracking Tools: Build tools in Excel, Airtable, and Power BI to replace pen-and-paper methods.
• Apply AI Tools: Use Claude and other AI tools to speed up analysis, reporting, and documentation.
• Support Milestone and Capacity Planning: Support the teams in setting and tracking milestones and in planning capacity across the facility.
• Recommend Process Improvements: Identify process improvements and present findings and recommendations to the team.

What You Bring

Required Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related field.
• Data analysis skills.
• Process improvement mindset.
• Excel proficiency.
• Project management skills.
• Familiarity with AI tools.
• Willingness to learn.
