2024 Summer Intern: Supply Chain Innovation & Automation
Walmart
Sells groceries and essentials in stores and online
Sam Walton founded our company with the belief that the customer is #1. It is not just a belief, but our way of doing business. Our Supply Chain Team is at the forefront of a retail transformation where you can work on a team that is ultimately focused on delighting our customers, saving them both time and money in unexpected ways.
Walmart’s I&A team strives to maintain focus on what we are doing and why. We are focused on automating facilities with innovative technology for a regenerative future. Together we are delivering value and maximizing efficiency across supply chain to better quality and service to our customers.
The I&A team consists of four different segments, including Ambient, Grocery, Fulfillment and End-to-End Product. As an I&A intern, you will work in one of the four segments.
Ambient: The Ambient team is automating our ambient facilities with innovative technology for a regenerative future. This team delivers value by maximizing efficiency across our supply chain and stores to better serve our Walmart customers.
Grocery: The Supply Chain Product Team supporting the Grocery Distribution Center network is responsible for planning, designing, and implementing innovative capabilities and enhanced logic that deliver best in class experiences to our supply chain associates and enable the promise of every-day low-cost to our customers.
Fulfillment: The Fulfilment team works closely with robotics and automation to come up with innovative ideas to serve our customers. Imagine your Walmart order being fulfilled 100% by robots, and you are the one to make that happen, by enabling the technology and tech products behind it.
End-to-End (E2E) Product: The E2E Supply Chain team is responsible for building products and technology that enables us to operate our supply chain at the lowest cost while delivering our promise of everyday low prices to our customers.
Each summer, we select the best and brightest to look under the hood of the world’s largest retailer at our Walmart Home Offices across multiple locations.
