Internship - Fashion/Operations

Founded in 2008, the Rosie Pope line has grown from a collection of couture gowns to encompass all things maternity and baby! From a series of advice columns to a widely distributed line of maternity and baby clothes, the Rosie Pope brand is to motherhood what Martha Stewart is to entertaining. There are two locations in NYC, the Flagship on the Upper East Side and the Tribeca location which is known as The Lab — an eclectic mix of all things maternity. From curating next season’s color palettes to cultivating the ultimate shopping experience, this space in Tribeca houses seeded ideas from which great things bloom!
Our internship program is predicated on the fact that our company thrives on quick-thinking, fast-paced, self-motivated individuals. We are constantly pioneering new territory for ourselves within the less explored world of maternity and the ever-changing world of kids! Thus, we look for interns who can not only keep up, but also contribute to our company.

There are two unpaid internship positions currently available at Rosie Pope. We are looking for detail-oriented applicants interested in learning more about the intricacies of the retail industry at a small and growing company. Our company is becoming more widespread by the day, with all operations occurring at our downtown Manhattan location including the distribution of e-commerce sales. The ability to keep up your pace is not only a must in the city but indispensable at our company.   

It is not mandatory that applicants should be seeking college credit for their internship hours, however it is a plus! The program dates are flexible. We ask that the applicant is able to work at least 3 days per week for a minimum of 12 weeks. The earliest available start date is November 6.
