Here are a few opportunities that have been shared with me recently and what I know about them.

Kraft Heinz (Full-Time Position)

• Contact: Fran Guzman ([log in to unmask])
• Fran Says "Kraft Heinz is looking to hire for US Consumer & Shopper Insights function. Multiple roles from Analyst to Manager to Lead coming soon, with one Lead role already posted (Job Description). Glad to chat with any alumni or graduating students who may be interested."
• What I Know: Fran will be honest with you, so if you are interested or even just curious I would recommend that you contact him.

Academic Partnerships (Internship)

• Contact: Ted Grubke: ([log in to unmask]) (Attachment) 
• Ted Says: "We are once again looking for a Market Research Intern. The internship is open for someone to begin right away and our preference is for someone to continue in the role through the end of December.  The intern will work remotely. Would you please share the attached job description with your students and direct any who might be interested to contact me?"
• What I Know: Many MSMR students have worked for AP.  I am sure they would be honest with you about their experiences if you ask.  Also, see the attached description.

Gilead (Internship)

• Contact: Eric Schauble, Gilead: ([log in to unmask]) (Attachment) 
• Eric Says: "I hope this email finds you well?!?  I know we are late, ok let’s be honest, very late, to the 2021 Summer Intern process but I am reaching out as we have opened a 10-12 week virtual internship/contractor opportunity in my US Commercial Strategic Insights team for this summer (full Job Description attached for reference). "
• What I Know: They want someone with strong analytic skills/interests, and they would prefer someone with a biology background.  If that's you, take a look; if you know someone that fits that profile, please pass this on to them.

That's all for the moment.

I would also like to apologize if you would prefer not to receive these emails.  I had a grad student collect the contact info and contact preferences for alumni just before lockdown.  I haven't had a chance to update the list (I must be on campus to do that) or create a new list (that's on me).  I will update the list in May.  I appreciate your patience.  If you are not sure about your status, please contact me and I will check.

I hope to see everyone at the virtual conference next week.  In case you haven't received it already, here is the link to register.  Attendance is free, but there are options to donate to the MSMR Alumni Scholarship Fund in the registration page.  And, there's a chance for you to pay $5 to lose to me in team trivia on Wednesday night.  Seriously, you should just make it a donation and save yourself the grief.
