Apply →

This internship puts you at the heart of Coopérative U’s product strategy, where you’ll help define and roll out more responsible consumer goods. You’ll actively analyze extra-financial data to turn technical indicators into concrete marketing levers, while keeping watch on the sector’s sustainable trends.

The stakes are high: making sure the retailer’s commitments translate into tangible improvements on the shelves. By working on structuring the responsible product range’s indicators, you help make sustainable consumption accessible to everyone, reinforcing the food sovereignty the cooperative stands for.

This suits someone who is a final-year student from a food engineering program or a business school with a CSR specialization, and who is very comfortable working with quantitative data.
