About The Position

Be a part of one of the fastest growing communities in Indiana. The City of Fishers is known for its innovative approach to local government and commitment to continuous improvement. The Business Solutions Group partners with departments across the City to improve processes, modernize data practices, and support better decision-making. The City is seeking a Summer Intern to assist with foundational data and records work that supports ongoing modernization efforts.
