Position Overview
The Omnichannel Rotational Intern is an entry-level, on-site 6-month internship based in MPG’s Bentonville office, designed to give a college student or recent graduate hands-on exposure to how a Walmart and Sam’s Club omnichannel broker operates. Over the course of the program, the intern rotates through and supports four interconnected disciplines: Sales, Replenishment & Supply Chain, InsightsLab (analytics), and Digital Commerce, building a well-rounded foundation across the business.
