OVERVIEW:

We take a people-centric approach to everything we do. Our Athletes, how we refer to customers, and our Teammates, how we refer to our employees, are at the center of every decision we make so that we can provide transformational experiences online, in store, and in sport. When you join the Technology team as an Intern at DICK’S Sporting Goods, you’re joining a true team that wins together. We help our Athletes and fellow Teammates better their best by innovating solutions to interesting business problems and empowering every Technology Teammate to be an innovator. And, while our broader Technology team works remotely from all over the United States, they provide virtual and in-person events for the team to hangout, from virtual escape rooms to cheering on the Pittsburgh Pirates at beautiful PNC Park. As a DICK’S Sporting Goods Technology Intern, you will spend your Summer in Pittsburgh working at our Customer Support Center (our Corporate Office)! We follow a hybrid work schedule, in the office Tuesday – Thursday and working from home (your apartment) Monday and Friday.

DSG’s Technology Interns work with and learn from the leaders who bring our vision to the Best Sports Company in the World to life. During the 11-week Summer experience, interns are assigned a strategic project that is selected by a leader on their Technology team. At the conclusion of the summer, you will present your project directly to your leadership team. As a bonus to our program, you will have regular Q&A sessions with senior leaders, take part in a visit to our multiple store banners, and interact with teammates across the organization including networking and volunteer opportunities.

To support you throughout the Summer, we have built a strong support system of managers and mentors.  For project guidance and day-to-day management, you will be paired with a Training Manager. Additionally, you will have status-checks and coaching from both leaders in our Technology Department and our University Relations Team. You will also have peer mentorship from Technology teammates earlier in their career. This support structure will aid in transitioning you to the DSG team, the exploration of your career goals, and will provide opportunities to develop professional and social networks within the company and the retail industry.

The experiential learning you will receive enables you to rapidly become a contributing member of the team, while also focusing on your own personal development.  If you join DSG, you will have the opportunity to be a part of an enthusiastic and supportive team culture, be challenged to make a meaningful difference in our business decisions, and get a peek behind the curtain of how a large company thinks about its growth strategies.

The Retail Analytics Internship will give you the opportunity to work in one of many data-driven roles at the corporate level.  These areas include but are not limited to eCommerce, Marketing, & Finance.
