Whole Foods Market is excited to offer its 2025 Summer Internship Program, designed for purpose-driven students who are eager to make a difference in their work and community. This internship is based in Austin, Texas, where interns will have the opportunity to work on meaningful projects that impact both internal and external stakeholders. Unlike traditional internships, our interns enjoy free coffee and tea while contributing to significant initiatives rather than performing menial tasks. The Sourcing & Product Development Team at Whole Foods Market is responsible for managing the product lifecycle of all Whole Foods Market Exclusive Brands, including 365 and 365 Organic. This team collaborates closely with various internal teams such as Logistics, Category Management, and Quality & R&D, while also maintaining relationships with external suppliers. Interns will play a vital role in supporting the team’s objectives and will be involved in various aspects of product development and category management. Intern responsibilities may include assessing category performance in collaboration with the Exclusive Brands Category Merchant, ensuring timely product launches, supporting category assortment planning, and conducting ongoing analysis of category performance and promotional effectiveness. Interns will also maintain and update system content and assist with documentation and reporting as needed. This internship is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the natural foods industry while contributing to the mission of nourishing people and the planet.
