What to expect for the 2026 Nestlé USA Sales
Internship:
We offer a 10-week paid internship in the Nestlé Sales
Organization. The Sales internship is an introduction to a career in sales and
the partnerships with our major customer teams. Interns will develop their
knowledge and understanding of the Consumer Products and Food industry, tackle
relevant business challenges, develop selling skills, and inspire change for
real processes and business needs. The experience requires collaboration with
team members from across business divisions, networking with senior management,
and participation in social engagements with interns from other programs.
As a member of one of our customer teams, you will
participate in key sales activities throughout your field experience with
direct instruction from Nestlé USA leaders.
During the internship, you will focus on a project that
requires a new perspective to deliver results against our immediate and future
business needs. Additional social activities are planned to provide insights
into day-to-day life at Nestlé USA. These findings will culminate with a
presentation to senior leaders.
