Internship Program Overview: The Summer Internship role is the primary pathway to beginning a career in Customer Development at Unilever. Over the course of the summer each intern is assigned a key business project to own that incorporates many of the job responsibilities and skill sets of a Sales Analyst, the entry-level full-time position in Customer Development. Skill sets utilized and further developed during the Summer Internship include presentation skills, team working, leadership, analytics, and building insights into action to deliver business solutions. Both Interns and Analysts are key components of the Customer Development team structure, with each team dedicated to one or more key customers (i.e. Wal*Mart, Target, CVS), brands, or product categories in a variety of locations. Interns engage in proactive analysis of current business trends to identify future opportunities to strengthen and/or grow our business and minimize potential risks to our current business. At the conclusion of the summer, all Interns will return to the Unilever headquarters in New Jersey and present their project findings to a panel of key business leaders.
