Who We are Looking For

It’s an exciting time to join Ocean Spray’s Beverage Innovation team! We are looking for passionate business leaders who are looking for experience at all stages of the innovation cycle. Our team combines the best of big and small CPG, exploring new brands, categories, and capabilities for Ocean Spray. We need a thought leader with an entrepreneurial mindset, a ‘whatever it takes attitude’ and a commitment to profitable growth.

What You Will Do & What You Will Learn: This role will expose you to emerging trends in food and beverage, brand building, and innovation thought leadership. You will be folded right in, developing cross-functional, collaborative relationships across your project team. Taking ownership is big at Ocean Spray, and there will be plenty of opportunities to be empowered to do so over your summer internship. You’ll own your own workstreams and report to an experienced Brand Manager. Responsibilities could include developing strategy to commercialize a new brand, building business cases through financial and qualitative exercises, supporting sales & marketing strategies, and developing new-to-the-world products and packaging. You’ll experience agile marketing while working within a company that operates in a legacy industry. And of course, you’ll sample a lot of food/drinks and have fun!
