Summer Intern - Technology Portfolio Management
About The Position
This summer you could have the opportunity to join the exceptional Grocery Outlet Corporate team. Our Emeryville, Ca based program gives students real-world work experience while learning about our amazingly unique business model. In addition to your project you will be exposed to all areas of our business. Along with your day-to-day project work you will get to lunch & learn with our executives and explore what a career at Grocery Outlet is really all about. Just in case you were wondering, we hired almost 50% of our interns from last year! Each intern will have the opportunity to work on a project that will help us solve an actual problem within our organization. No hypothetical projects here! This is a 10-week paid internship that will run from Tuesday June 16th - Thursday August 20th. Support the IT department in creating a clear, organized inventory of our software applications, hardware assets, and software licenses. This foundational work will establish a single source of truth and help the team better understand: what we own, who uses/manages each system, what versions and licenses are active, and when renewals, upgrades or replacements are needed.
