What are the responsibilities and job description for the Corporate Strategy Intern position at FreshDirect?
Brief Description
About Us
At FreshDirect, we are reinventing the grocery experience.
Since day one, our mission has been simple: bring the best, freshest food directly from the farm to people’s homes — faster, fresher, and smarter than anyone else.
We’re not just a food company. We’re a technology-powered, customer-obsessed team building one of the most innovative end-to-end food supply chains in the industry. From proprietary routing systems to our state-of-the-art fulfillment center, every part of our business is designed to deliver unmatched quality, convenience, and care.
We partner directly with farmers, fishermen, and artisans to source the highest quality ingredients — then use smart data, automation, and logistics to deliver them at peak freshness.
It’s grocery shopping reimagined — and we’re just getting started.
If you’re passionate about innovation, care deeply about what people eat, and want to help build the future of food, we’d love to meet you.
The Role
FreshDirect is looking for a Corporate Strategy Intern to join our dynamic team and help shape our long-term growth and competitive edge.

You'll work closely with our strategy team, contributing to critical initiatives like strategic planning, market and competitive intelligence, and strategic project execution. We're seeking someone with an entrepreneurial spirit, strong analytical abilities, and a collaborative mindset who thrives in a fast-paced environment.
In this role, you'll support the strategic planning process by helping to organize cross-functional workshops, conducting research, and synthesizing findings into clear, actionable recommendations. You'll assist in defining strategic objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs). An important part of your work will involve conducting comprehensive market research and analysis to identify emerging trends, opportunities, and potential threats. You'll also monitor competitor activities and help maintain our competitive intelligence database, translating complex data into insights that inform executive decisions. Finally, you'll support the translation of strategic plans into concrete initiatives, assisting with project planning, milestone tracking, and monitoring progress against strategic goals.
