Job Description

Who We are Looking For:

Are you passionate about tackling climate change, supporting farmers, and building a more sustainable and just world? Then Ocean Spray's Global Impact and Sustainability team is a perfect fit for you. The Corporate Affairs department is looking to add a Sustainability intern to its growing Global Impact and Sustainability function for the Summer 2020.

Ocean Spray's mission is to connect our farms to families for a better life. Together with our farmer-owners, we are dedicated to the health of people, communities, and our planet. We're continuously improving our impact by addressing issues such as climate change, food waste, water stewardship, and human rights across our entire business. Our three core pillars keep us aligned to our mission. Through these pillars we seek to:
*        Advance Regenerative Cranberry Agriculture
*        Create Sustainable Operations and Supply Chains
*        Design Purposeful Products and Packaging

The Sustainability team collaborates with Agriculture Sciences, Marketing, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Operations, Legal, and Sales to execute these initiatives throughout the Cooperative.

We're seeking a smart savvy individual who can support initiatives across the sustainability pillars. It is imperative the individual have strong research and analytical skills, be able to maintain harmonious cross-functional collaboration, and develop balanced recommendations for projects.

What You Will Do & What You Will Learn:

The intern will support ongoing sustainability projects across pillars and complete an individual research project to present recommendations at the end of the internship. The intern will work alongside the sustainability lead and analyst to advance our global impact and sustainability strategy.

You will learn and be exposed to multiple aspects of integrating sustainability into a branded consumer packaged goods (CPG) company including agricultural production, manufacturing, packaging, and sales. You will have the opportunity to think creatively and learn about pressing global issues. Projects will help hone the intern's analytical, design, and communication skills.
