The Internship Experience

At Restaurant Brands International (RBI), we don’t do ordinary internships. We hand top-performing undergraduates real business challenges, bold responsibilities, and the chance to make real impact. This is your opportunity to go beyond the classroom, dive into one of the fastest-moving industries on the planet, and contribute to some of the world’s most iconic QSR brands.

Onboarding

Start your summer with a dedicated orientation session alongside your fellow interns. Where you’ll get to dive head-first into our culture at RBI, learn more about our business, brands and strategic plans, and get some RBI-specific skills training to set you up for your summer ahead.

Project Ownership

You’ll be matched to a strategic project sponsored by senior leadership, areas like Marketing, Operations, Finance, Digital, Development, Procurement & more! These aren’t side projects. They’re high-impact, business-critical initiatives. Your ideas will help shape how we serve guests, grow revenue, and optimize operations.

Mentorship & Development

Throughout your internship, you’ll be assigned a buddy who’s been in your shoes as an intern, get regular coaching and feedback from your project manager, and have opportunities for networking through leadership lunch & learns and social events.

Final Presentation

To wrap up your internship, you’ll present your project findings and recommendations to your department and senior leadership — showcasing the strategy, results, and business impact of your work.

• Hungry (literally and figuratively) to make an impact in a business that moves fast and serves millions daily
• Passionate about growth, ownership, and the QSR industry
• Comfortable with ambiguity and energized by a fast-paced environment
• Excellent communicators, problem-solvers, and natural leaders

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis through 15th November.
