2019 Nestlé Sales Internship

If you are driven by the passion to do something meaningful that changes lives, Nestlé USA is the place for you. We're in 97% of American homes, and as the leading nutrition, health and wellness company, our goal is to continue to provide more nutritious foods, strengthen our local communities, and reduce our environmental and climate impact. Joining Nestlé means you can make an impact on an enormous scale. 

 

Let's challenge the status quo and be better tomorrow than we are today. We need to grow as a company and bring an intensity to our work that puts our competitors on notice. We must work as one team under one Nestlé brand, leading innovation across the organization, and empowering our employees to succeed in the workplace and beyond. We’ll win — and we’ll do it the right way.

 

If you're a current undergraduate student and ready to take the next step toward pursuing your career, discover how Nestlé USA is transforming beyond confections and embracing our entrepreneurial culture & redefining our ways of winning. Are you ready to make your impact?

 

At Nestlé, we offer a 10 week paid internship in our sales division. The Sales internship is an introduction to help you determine if a career in sales is the right fit for you. The internship feeds directly into our full-time Nestlé Sales Development Program (NSDP). Participants may receive a full-time offer to join the Nestlé Sales Organization following the completion of the internship. 

 

Interns will have the opportunity to develop knowledge, awareness and understanding of the Consumer Products and Food industries; identify opportunities for current business challenges; learn and practice selling skills as a member of a team; and have an impact on real processes and business needs. 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 special projects that deliver results against our immediate and future business needs. These findings will culminate with a presentation to senior leaders in the Nestlé Sales Organization (NSO).

This opportunity is located in our Rogers, Arkansas or Cincinnati, Ohio locations.
