Data Analytics Vacationer Program (Nov 2026)

Think beyond.

Join KordaMentha where you can make a real difference from day one.

Each year, we run a vacationer program during the summer university break. We recruit a select number of high-performing students in their second to last year of their degree for either a four- or eight-week work placement.

Forget the notion of an observational rotation. At KordaMentha, you will become part of a unique, creative and entrepreneurial team, gaining practical experience as we work together to solve our clients’ most complex commercial problems. You will learn how we move beyond a standard approach, asking the ‘what if…?’ and ‘why not…?’ questions required to find bold, new ways to help our clients grow, protect and recover value.

Don’t just imagine what a career in one of our specialist areas could be like – experience it. Working alongside our senior leaders, you have opportunities to participate in interesting and varied client engagements. You will receive tailored support, expert mentoring and the freedom to explore a career path with KordaMentha.

Thrive in an environment where respect, well-being, inclusion and integrity are central. You will join a supportive team, committed to enhancing diversity and celebrating differences. Through the firm’s regular events and activities, you will foster connections and have opportunities to make a positive impact in your community.

Whatever your passion, explore your career path with KordaMentha.

Your opportunity

Data analytics is a collection of powerful tools for organisations to generate increased business value and drive deeper business insights. Leveraging sophisticated technology and algorithms, we demystify data, enable dynamic future projections and assist to transform the insights into meaningful action and growth.

Working alongside our Data Analytics specialists, this is your opportunity to learn how we uncover, analyse and clarify facts at the centre of some of the highest-profile disputes, investigations and other sensitive matters across the Asia-Pacific region. Experience expert mentoring and use the opportunity to demonstrate your strengths with data. Make a real impact as, together, we empower client-led data management and reporting.

What you’ll be doing

As a Data Analytics vacationer, you will assist a wide variety of teams with data analytic services including investigations, legal disputes, consulting and corporate recovery. This will involve analysis of large data sets from various data sources including financial and operational systems. 

You’ll have the chance to learn from some of the best in the business and gain skills with programs you have only touched on at university.

But it’s not all about work. You’ll be given a buddy to help you navigate office life as you settle in. We have regular catch ups with People and Culture to ensure you are getting the most out of your placement. We host regular events and activities, bringing together our close-knit team in a friendly and relaxed environment so you can get to know the people behind the professionals.
