Job Description
We designed our program to be a game-changing first step in kicking off your career journey. We're looking for the next generation of inventory planners who are agile and innovative. During this 10-week program, you'll develop your skills alongside a team of supportive mentors and inspiring leaders.

Our inventory team ensures that the right products are available for the customer. As an intern, you'll work closely with a team for a specific category (ex: furniture, tabletop, bath, etc) to get behind the scenes insight on how they use forecasting tools to optimize inventory flow, drive margin, and support top-line sales. You'll use that information to identify opportunities and make recommendations to improve future inventory needs.

OUR PROGRAM

Our program is designed for undergraduate students graduating in 2028. During your internship, you will be a part of an intern cohort working for West Elm in Brooklyn, NY. Throughout the program, you will attend business critical meetings, lead projects, gain experience working with cross-functional teams, attend professional trainings, and have the chance to brainstorm with our leadership team.

At the end of the program, you are given the opportunity to pioneer a new idea and present it to our executive leadership team. Many of our interns' project proposals have been implemented in new business strategies, as we value the fresh perspective our interns bring to the business.

Of course, we also leave time for a little fun by hosting social and networking opportunities with your fellow interns such as cohort lunches, and social hours.
