What to expect:
We offer a 10 week paid internship in the Nestlé Sales Organization. The Sales internship is an introduction to a career in sales and the partnerships with our major customer teams. Interns will develop their knowledge and understanding of the Consumer Products and Food industry; tackle relevant business challenges; develop selling skills; and inspire change for real processes and business needs. The experience requires collaboration with team members from across business divisions; networking with senior management, and participation in social engagements with interns from other programs.
As a member of our customer and/or category teams, interns participate in key sales activities throughout their field experience with direct instruction from Nestlé USA leaders.
During the internship, participants will focus on a project that requires a new perspective to deliver results against our immediate and future business needs. Additional social activities are planned to provide insights into day-to-day life at Nestlé USA. These findings will culminate with a presentation to senior leaders at our Arlington, Virginia headquarters.
After your Internship:
The internship feeds directly into our full-time Nestlé Sales Development Program and participants may receive a full-time offer to join the organization following the completion of the internship.
We invite you to challenge the traditional ways of working, provide innovative ideas, and improve processes.
