Role: Merchandising Intern
Location: Buffalo Grove, IL
Company Summary:
Zoro.com is an eCommerce company that sells business supplies, equipment, and tools—but we’re much more than just a website. We’re a team of people who win and lose together (we prefer winning!). Since 2011, Zoro has been working hard to make it easy for our customers to purchase everything they need to make their businesses go. Zoro currently offers 3 million products, fast and free shipping, no-hassle returns, and exceptional customer service. We’ve grown quickly in a short time, recently surpassing 400 team members and reaching annual revenue of over $500 million. Add to that our award-winning culture—we were named a Great Place to Work for 2019-20, among other accolades—and we think Zoro is a pretty amazing place to work and grow.
Imagine what you could help us achieve as a Merchandising Intern!
Job Description:
Zoro is offering one paid internship in our Merchandising group for the summer of 2020.
This is a full-time opportunity and will start early June and end in late August. The start and end dates can be flexible based on your semester schedule.
If you ever shopped online and found it difficult or were not able to find what you were looking for? Alternatively, have you also had experiences where you easily found what you were looking for? Merchandisers are the ones that make the difference between the former and the latter scenarios.
The individual chosen will learn about the daily operations of an aggressive growth business and how Merchandising establishes relationships with cross-functional teams to drive sales and maximize profitability. The Zoro Merchandising group is responsible for planning and creating Zoro’s online product presentation to improve our customers’ experience. We maintain product data and manage new item additions.
Our team is small and uncharacteristically friendly and personable. Unlike some other options for interns, an intern at Zoro is fully embraced by the team and will contribute to work that actually matters. Our company celebrates fresh ideas and welcomes contributions and questions.
Qualifications:
We realize that many students do not have deep exposure to much of what we do. Our ideal intern needs to show interest and aptitude – not necessarily mastery of specific concepts. Preferably, our intern will be entering his or her Senior year following the internship with exposure to any of the following: marketing and/or merchandising strategy, ecommerce and analytics. An ideal candidate will also be comfortable with team collaboration and working with large amounts of data. Basic Microsoft Excel skills are preferred.
Zoro is an Equal Opportunity Workplace and an Affirmative Action Employer.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.
