TeacherLists Data Quality Intern

Overview

School Family Media helps schools and families prepare for a successful school year by providing trusted tools and resources that strengthen school-to-home connections. TeacherLists is our nationally recognized digital platform that makes it easy for schools and districts to create, manage, and share school supply lists with families. The platform digitizes supply lists and connects them to major retailers, allowing families to quickly find and shop their child’s exact list online or in-store.

About the Role

School Family Media is seeking a detail-oriented Summer Intern to support the TeacherLists team during the busy back-to-school season. This role plays an important part in ensuring the quality and accuracy of school supply list data on the platform.

Summer interns will review and monitor supply lists entered into the TeacherLists system to ensure information is complete, accurate, and properly formatted. This includes verifying schools, classrooms, supply items, and quantities while ensuring retailer mentions and sponsored brands appear correctly on lists.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working with data, has strong attention to detail, and is comfortable working both independently and collaboratively in a remote environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Verify that key list data—including school name, classroom, supply items, and quantities—is entered correctly and consistently
• Help ensure list volume is tracking toward seasonal goals by reviewing submitted lists and confirming all required data fields are complete
• Monitor retail and brand presence on lists, ensuring retailer mentions are placed appropriately and sponsored items are correctly branded

What We’re Looking For

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple tasks
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment

• Strong written communication skills
• Interest in data quality, digital platforms, or operations is a plus
