ABOUT US

We are a family owned, purpose led sports nutrition manufacturer born and based in Berkeley since 1993, and still the leader in sports nutrition gels. We believe movement is everything – it makes us feel alive, and we serve a global community of athletes, beginners and world record setters, who are discovering and pushing their human potential. 

We’re a member of 1% for the Planet, and we strive to be the most impactful sports nutrition brand. Through our products, our partnerships, and programs like GU Gives, we work to support peak athletic performance, expand access to an active life, and protect the environments we live and play in. 

ABOUT PROJECT-BASED INTERNSHIP 

Our internship program is designed to introduce interested athletes and individuals to the inner workings of a sports nutrition company, to strengthen our work by the influence of fresh perspective and talent, and to teach skills in Finance & Accounting. 

We offer hands-on work experience on real projects, and exposure to a great company culture that is friendly, fun, and encourages a healthy and active life!  

DETAILS

This is a full-time, project-based, internship within our Finance & Accounting Department. This is an exciting opportunity for those interested in analytics and business intelligence. The intern will complete a full-cycle Business Intelligence project from start to finish - including gathering requirements from stakeholders, sourcing and validating relevant data, performing ETL (extract, transform, load) processes, and building an interactive dashboard or visualization in Domo or another Business Intelligence platform. The project will emphasize real-world application and autonomy, while under structured mentorship. See qualifications below for skills needed.  
 

This is a project-based internship program, not by semester or year-round. This is a full-time internship based out of our Berkeley HQ, Monday – Friday from 9 – 5. 

This year, this internship will support our Finance & Accounting Department. The tentative start date for this internship is within the first two weeks of June. 

We have a limited number of internships available each year – if you are interested, we suggest applying ASAP as the pool is competitive.
