Retail Internship Program

Fleet Feet’s 9-week-long summer internship program will allow interns to put classroom learning into practice. Our internship experience focuses on professional development (think impactful work and stretch assignments), mentorship, networking, skills development, and on-the-job training across two areas. This program is focused on recruitment of underrepresented groups with the goal of overcoming perceived barriers of participation related to location, transportation, or awareness. The intern may have the opportunity to travel to Fleet Feet’s Headquarters in Carrboro, North Carolina twice during their internship.

We believe Running Changes Everything. If you believe that, too, we want to talk. With more than 250 stores and a robust e-commerce site, Fleet Feet is the largest running retailer in the country. Catering to more than runners, we pride ourselves on having an inclusive environment! We believe it’s a privilege to serve and remain committed to delivering unmatched service and support when outfitting customers in everything they need to have a successful run, whether that’s introducing them to their new favorite running shoes, socks, or gear, or inviting them to our next training program run. We like to keep things high-spirited, fast-paced, and fun. We don’t mind wearing more than a few hats and stepping in to help out wherever is needed. Our team is a group of knowledgeable and hardworking individuals who work, sweat, and live passionately. We run together to tackle a problem, reach a goal, get encouraged, and nurture our brand each day. We are in full pursuit to find hardworking people to join us on our quest and bring our core values to life.

From managing the store floor on a busy Saturday afternoon to collaborating with a technology company on deploying the latest capability in 3D foot scanning, Fleet Feet’s continued success relies on entrepreneurial spirits working in unison across projects, departments, disciplines, and locations. We have internship opportunities across customer service, inventory, local marketing and events, operations, retail experience, sales, and training programs, and we’re always seeking driven and collaborative people to join the team.

Fleet Feet is a people-first organization, and our interns are no exception. Fleet Feet interns will add and create value with every action and will be contributing members of our team and brand.

The deadline to submit applications is by Friday, January 13, 2023
