Internship Unilever Product Testing Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Lakeshore, we create innovative learning materials and world-class guest experiences for teachers, parents and children. Since 1954, we’ve grown into a global community—with a thriving e-commerce business, multiple catalogs, over 50 stores, a peerless national sales force, plus international offices that support our preeminent supply chain division. But today we’re working better, smarter and faster than ever—and setting our sights even higher. We’re building an infrastructure designed for scalability, embracing data-driven decision-making and using technology to improve efficiency and ensure the best tools for the best work. Most importantly, we continue to invest in a diverse team of inquisitive top talent who fuel each other’s passions and curiosity, take risks, try new things and believe that every new day brings opportunities for growth.

At Lakeshore, the products we make end up in the hands of children — so getting them right matters. As a Product Integrity Associate on our Quality team, you'll help make sure the products and learning materials we sell are safe, reliable, and ready for learners. This is a great entry point into the world of product quality, with hands-on training and real responsibility from day one.

A day on the job looks like this: 

• Reviewing product profiles and identifying the applicable compliance testing requirements for each item
• Coordinating with third-party laboratories to book and track product testing submissions
• Reaching out to suppliers to request and follow up on product samples needed for evaluation
• Maintaining accurate, organized records of test reports and compliance documentation
• Supporting the Product Integrity team on department projects and continuous improvement initiatives

Got the skills and experience? Here’s what we’re looking for: 

Required:

• 0–2 years of professional, internship or related experience
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint)
• Comfortable picking up new systems, tools and processes with guidance
• Able to manage multiple tasks accurately and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Onsite, full-time availability at our Carson, CA office

Preferred:

• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent work or internship experience
• Exposure to quality assurance, product compliance, supply chain, or a related area — through coursework, internship, or prior work

What sets you apart:

• You catch what others miss — you take pride in accurate work and flag potential issues before they become bigger problems
• You ask good questions. When something is unfamiliar, you seek guidance rather than guess, and you apply what you learn going forward
• You follow through. When you commit to a task or deadline, people can count on it getting done

And here’s our end of the bargain!
