Beckon Sales Data Analytics Intern – Remote
Full-time, Internship
For Academic Credit
Beckon is looking for an energetic, creative and enthusiastic summer intern to help evaluate and analyze our sales and retail marketing programs. As a small team there is a lot of opportunity for all team members to gain broad and varied experience, taking areas of interest into consideration. We all wear many hats and have an all-hands-on deck mentality. This position will be remote, working alongside the founders and other team members.
This position would report to the Sales & Retail Marketing Manager, Samantha McNulty and the co-founder of Beckon, Katy Flannery. Beckon HQ is located in Allston, but this internship will be remote. Our company values hard work, respect, passion, proactivity and friendship. Since the company started with friendship (Gwen and Katy began as college friends), having fun and taking time to do things as a team is an important part of our culture.
Beckon is the first premium, lactose free ice cream that is still made from real dairy! It is made with all the same ingredients as traditional premium ice cream and we add the lactase enzyme to eliminate the lactose. We have a values-based sourcing philosophy and our mission is to show lactose-free consumers that living lactose-free doesn’t have to mean living dairy-free or compromising with substitutes. Beckon has been featured on BostonMagazine.com, Chronicle, Thrillist, and more. Beckon also won the 2018 New England Business Association Innovation Award in the Rising Star category.
