This role immerses you in PepsiCo's Foodservice division, where you'll take on a leadership position as a sales intern. Expect a balanced split: half your time in the field engaging with the market and the other half on strategic projects that deliver lasting business impact. This opportunity requires a valid driver's license and reliable personal vehicle, as you'll cover a territory serving non-traditional retail channels like restaurants and hospitality outlets. Ideal for business students seeking real-world sales experience, analytics development, and cross-functional collaboration in a dynamic Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) environment.

• Influence and collaborate with the foodservice team, key accounts, and clients to address consumer demand in your Montreal territory.
• Lead critical commercial projects tailored to business needs, ensuring measurable outcomes.
• Identify efficiency-boosting processes, eliminate redundant tasks, and support their implementation.
• Provide robust support to sales and multifunctional teams in client-facing initiatives.

Field and Strategic Balance

Half your internship involves on-market activities, shadowing sales professionals and engaging directly with clients. The other half focuses on strategic projects, allowing you to contribute to PepsiCo's long-term growth in the foodservice sector.
