Converse Enterprise Business Planning Graduate Internship

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR: We are seeking an intellectually curious, business-minded Graduate Intern to join our Enterprise Business Planning team. This is not a support role — it is an opportunity to work at the center of how a global brand governs itself, partnering directly with planning leadership on the special projects that shape our operating rhythm and sharpen enterprise-wide decision-making. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, thinks in systems, and can translate complex operating questions into clear, executive-ready recommendations.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE: As an EBP Graduate Intern, you will contribute directly to the architecture of how Converse plans and operates. Your work will span:

• Operating Cadence Design — Support the evolution of Converse's planning calendar and governance rhythm, ensuring the right decisions happen at the right moments with the right stakeholders in the room.
• Executive Readiness — Help prepare the analysis and materials that inform senior leadership's most important business reviews, translating data into a narrative that drives action.
• Cross-Functional Integration — Partner with Marketplace Planning, Finance, Analytics, and Supply Chain to understand how each function's inputs shape the enterprise plan, and identify opportunities to simplify handoffs and sharpen collective execution.
• Performance & Insight Infrastructure — Contribute to the tools and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into marketplace health and progress against the operating plan.
• Special Projects — Take ownership of discrete strategic initiatives — from target-setting frameworks to process refinement — with the autonomy to shape recommendations and the exposure to present them to senior stakeholders.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING:

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing an MBA, with an expected graduation of Winter 2027 or Spring 2028.
• Academic or professional grounding in Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, or Strategy.
• Meaningful pre-MBA experience in consulting, financial planning & analysis, supply chain, or retail/merchandising strategy strongly preferred.
• Fluency with data and analytical tools (Excel, SQL, or similar) sufficient to structure and interrogate business problems independently.
• A resume and cover letter are both required. Please upload and submit as a single combined PDF file.

Skills & Attributes:

• A systems thinker who brings structure and clarity to ambiguous, cross-functional problems.
• Polished written and verbal communicator, capable of distilling complexity for senior leadership audiences.
• Builds trust and credibility quickly across functions and levels of seniority.
• Self-directed, intellectually rigorous, and energized by the mechanics of how a business actually runs.
• Genuine curiosity about Converse, the consumer, and the broader retail and lifestyle landscape.
