Be part of an amazing story. Macy's is more than just a store. We're a story. One that's captured the hearts and minds of America for more than 160 years. A story about innovations and traditions…about inspiring stores and irresistible products…about the excitement of the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks, and the wonder of the Thanksgiving Day Parade. We've been part of memorable moments and milestones for countless customers and colleagues. Those stories are part of what makes this such a special place to work. Job Overview: The Macy's 8-week summer internship program in Merchandising provides exposure to consumer products, business strategies, and the latest trends for Macy's brand offerings. The Merchandising team maximizes sales and gross margin for each product category by identifying, procuring, and assorting the products that their customer demands. There are 2 exciting functions within the Macy's Merchandising Summer Internship: Buying and Pricing Strategy. Based on your skillset and interest, you will be placed in one of these two functions. However, throughout the program, you will learn about and get exposure to all roles within Merchandising, Product Development, Marketing, and Supply Chain. This will help you gain a holistic understanding of how a retail business is developed and managed. Macy's summer internship program provides interns with a hands-on and in-depth understanding of a core business function in retail. Interns have opportunities to directly impact the business as a key part of a team and by sharing new ideas. Macy's interns experience everything our culture has to offer through exposures to senior leaders, professional development workshops, and networking opportunities. The internship program may lead to an opportunity to work full-time with Macy's in our early careers program after graduation. This internship program will be held in Macy's New York, New York Corporate offices and will begin in June.
