Operations & Supply Chain Summer Intern
Job Description: Operations & Supply Chain Intern
Company Overview:
ROAM is revolutionizing the bottled water market by combining sustainability with cutting-edge convenience. While the demand for bottled water—including carbonated and flavored options—continues to rise, it comes at a steep environmental cost: plastic waste and emissions from global water shipping.
Roam is committed to redefining the sparkling water experience through sustainable, innovative, and consumer-friendly hydration solutions. By merging the convenience of portability with an eco-conscious design, Roam – founded by global hardware and design experts in the water filtration space – aims to make a meaningful impact on the way we hydrate.
At the heart of Roam’s offering is The SodaTop, a portable carbonator that fits in the palm of your hand. With the ability to carbonate up to 1 liter of water in under 5 seconds, SodaTop eliminates the need for bulky countertop systems and large CO2 canisters. Made from 100% recyclable steel, its CO2 canisters ensure guilt-free hydration with convenient one-way shipping.
