WXperience 2026 IT Summer Intern Program

WX Brands offers a unique portfolio of wine brands. The company has experienced noteworthy growth in the past few years, resulting in being named #13 among the Top 50 US wine companies by Wine Business Monthly in 2022.

The WXperience Internship Program, launched in the Summer of 2021, was established to develop our next generation of leaders. This program offers interns the opportunity to engage in career building activities while simultaneously learning on the job and supporting their respective departments, working on value-added work.

We are asking our interns to be located in our Corporate Office in Novato, CA, where our staff is currently practicing a hybrid work approach (Monday-Wednesday in the office, Thursday/Friday from home)

WX Brands will hire 3 interns for a 10 week program, June - August. We are able to provide some flexibility on program dates, so don't hesitate to apply!

While each intern will support one department, they will be expected to work cross-functionally with each other and other departments.

• Helping the WX IT Team with machine builds, application deployments.
• Application trouble-shooting with Microsoft Windows, Virtual Private Networks and connectivity.
• Hardware maintenance and upgrades (including motherboard changes), deployment strategies and proper cable management for clean, professional installs

This hands-on experience gives interns the chance to build their resume, learn about the wine and consumer product goods business, and build a network of professional connections within the industry.

This is a paid internship at $19/hour, and interns are expected to work 32-40 hours per week.

• Those interested in applying for the Tony Moreno Scholarship Award must submit a supplementary essay.

This scholarship is named in honor of a beloved colleague we lost far too young, who championed diversity and inclusion efforts at WX Brands and the larger community.

While all interns will be paid, one intern will receive a scholarship for $5,000 to support their housing during the internship program, airfare to Northern California and other related expenses. If no housing/travel costs are incurred by the recipient, the intern will be able to apply their scholarship award to education or another expense to support them on their professional journey.

The scholarship recipient will demonstrate through their application materials a commitment to showing grit, as this is a key element of the WX Brands story, and overcoming challenges related to being an underrepresented population in the higher education and/or business world.
