  • This is an opportunity to gain experience across commercialization, brand activation, innovation, and marketing operations.

  • This is a hands-on role for someone eager to learn the CPG industry, contribute ideas, and help keep projects moving efficiently from concept to execution.

Accountable For:

  • Researching trends, partnerships, events, and co-marketing (with retailers and with other brands) opportunities that align with brand strategies.

  • Supporting event planning, sourcing, logistics, and on-site execution when needed. 

  • Coordinating with creative partners, vendors, and internal teams to help bring events and co-branding activations to life.

  • Maintaining organization of relevant marketing assets, product files and shared internal resources.

  • Supporting special projects and initiatives as assigned by leadership.


Who Will Be Successful in This Role:



  • The ideal candidate is organized first and creative second; someone who loves bringing structure to moving projects while still contributing thoughtful ideas and energy to business-building efforts. 

  • This role requires someone who is eager to learn, has high sense of ownership and is excited to grow within a fast-moving team.


Required Credentials:



  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or related field preferred. 

  • 2–4 years of relevant internship or professional experience in marketing, trade marketing, events, CPG, agency, or project coordination environments. 

  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and follow-through. 

  • Strong communication and time management skills.
