Internships & Early Career Development

We empower our people with the opportunities and support they need to grow their careers, from start to finish. Fulfilling work, new challenges and a culture that cares—that’s the recipe for a flourishing career.

Begin your career at Post Consumer Brands

Those starting their career at Post Consumer Brands—as an intern, apprentice or entry level employee—get to dive right in, collaborating with teammates and leaving their mark on iconic grocery and pet food brands like PEBBLES, Honey Bunches of Oats, Malt-O-Meal cereal, Peter Pan peanut spreads or Kibbles ’n Bits. Those big company opportunities and a small-company attitude engagement helped land us on the Star Tribune’s Top Workplace list.


Early career areas

We’re big believers in the power of early career development, of giving this talent the support, challenges and experiences they need to grow their careers, whether that’s in the R&D lab working on a new packaging project, working with teammates to develop a marketing plan for a pet food product, or making sure safety comes first on the manufacturing floor.
