Role Summary:
Are you a go-getter who loves solving puzzles, connecting with people, and getting things done? We’re looking for a Summer Intern to support a high-impact transformation project in our merchandising team. This initiative will help bring advanced demand planning, forecasting, and floor planning capabilities to nearly 10,000 Circle K stores across North America.
You’ll be responsible for helping us collect foundational item master data from our suppliers. That means navigating large organizations to find the right contact (even if we don’t know who they are yet), engaging them professionally, and persistently following up until the job is done. This role is perfect for someone who’s resourceful, organized, and not afraid to make an extra call or send a follow-up email (or three!).
You’ll gain real-world experience interacting with manufacturers and vendors, supporting data-driven merchandising efforts, and working alongside leaders at a Fortune 500 company.
What You Will Do
Here are just a few ways that you’ll help make journeys better:
Main responsibilities, deliverables, and expectations:
- Track down product and assortment data from our vendors to populate our item master database
- Research company contacts through internal tools, org charts, and external sources
- Communicate clearly and confidently via phone and email to engage the correct point of contact
- Work closely with our Category Managers and internal teams to gather missing pieces
- Persistently follow up to ensure data is received completely and on time
- Stay organized using shared inboxes, spreadsheets, and task tracking
- Maintain a positive, can-do attitude throughout the project
What You Need
You’ll be a great fit if you are:
- A current student or recent graduate in Supply Chain, Marketing, Merchandising, Business, or a related field
- Known for being goal-oriented, persistent, and self-motivated, you don’t wait for someone to tell you what to do
- Comfortable reaching out to new contacts and following up (and following up again)
- Highly organized with strong written and verbal communication skills
- Proficient in Outlook and Excel (basic tracking and organization skills are essential)
- A fast learner who’s not afraid to ask questions or figure things out on your own
What’s in it for you!
Our job openings in stores and offices allow you to grow quickly within a global company, while benefiting from a dynamic work environment that puts people first. Wherever you are on your journey, we have a place for you. Here are some of the attractive benefits we offer:
- Work in a collaborative, dynamic and high performing team.
- Work for a leading, innovative, and growing company in convenience stores operations.
- Fortune 500 company and a 4-time Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award Winner.
- Learning opportunities to develop new skills and to evolve professionally in a fast-growing company.
