About The Position

Are you an energetic and entrepreneurial communications pro in training who is looking for an exceptional, paid opportunity this summer with one of Fortune Magazine's 2025 Most Innovative Companies? Do you have great writing, strategy and storytelling skills, digital marketing know-how and intellectual curiosity? Do you want to work with and learn from an exceptional team of cutting-edge communications and marketing pros? If so, we should meet. We expect to fill this position very quickly. Freight transportation leader XPO is a Fortune 500 company with one of the fastest growing stocks in the world over the past few years. We have an opportunity for an intern or co-op to join our team from mid-May through the end of the summer with potential opportunities to extend. Our team works at the intersection of corporate communications, press outreach, social media, digital marketing, employee advocacy and multi-platform internal communications. And we are building and deploying innovative AI solutions that help us go further, faster. This is a hands-on opportunity for the right person to gain exposure to and valuable insights from an innovative, high-performing communications team. This type of access and experience is unlike many other internship opportunities in the communications industry. Rising seniors, recent graduates or current grad students who like to work hard and break new ground will find this a good fit. Excitement about big trucks and the extraordinary people that operate them is an added bonus. This will be a largely in-person position with training from leaders across the company as part of XPO's official internship/co-op program.
