We care about our people and our communities, and we look for ways to uplift people first. Wherever your journey’s going, we can help you get there. Join Our Team! Role Summary: Are you a go-getter who loves solving puzzles, connecting with people, and getting things done? We’re looking for a Summer Intern to support a high-impact transformation project in our merchandising team. This initiative will help bring advanced demand planning, forecasting, and floor planning capabilities to nearly 10,000 Circle K stores across North America. You’ll be responsible for helping us collect foundational item master data from our suppliers. That means navigating large organizations to find the right contact (even if we don’t know who they are yet), engaging them professionally, and persistently following up until the job is done. This role is perfect for someone who’s resourceful, organized, and not afraid to make an extra call or send a follow-up email (or three!). You’ll gain real-world experience interacting with manufacturers and vendors, supporting data-driven merchandising efforts, and working alongside leaders at a Fortune 500 company.

• A fast learner who’s not afraid to ask questions or figure things out on your own

Responsibilities
