What are the responsibilities and job description for the Merchandising Intern position at Goldbug?
Are you passionate, adventurous, collaborative and impactful? Join GoldBug, a privately held woman-owned company setting the industry standard for safe and quality products. GoldBug is one of the largest branded suppliers of infant and children's apparel and accessories in the US. You can gain hands-on experience while possibly getting college credit through a Merchandising Internship with a family owned company that has been around almost 60 years.
GoldBug is built around a fundamental truth: in life it’s often the little things that make the biggest difference. Just as every baby emerges as a life altering joy wrapped in the tiniest package, we see a “GoldBug” as the small idea that can make the biggest impact. Whether it's our innovative design, relentless focus on product, safety, or our championing causes that support maternal health, our attention to the little details has led us for the past fifty years.
We are accepting applications for our Spring/Summer 2026 internship program. It is an unpaid internship, but the knowledge you will receive is invaluable!
You must be enrolled at a college or university and receiving course credit for this internship.
