Amara Beverage Company is a new ‘health food’ beverage company based in the San Francisco bay area. We manufacture a new type of beverage that combines elements of 3 beverages into one. In the beverage industry this is a new beverage catagory known as “Super Drinks”. For Amara we combine elements of a sports drink (electrolytes for re-hydration), an energy drink (we use coffee berry for a natural source of energy), and superfruit (similar to Acai Berry that is loaded with antioxidants). We are currently for sale in about 400 stores throughout California and predominantly focus on Whole Foods.
We are looking for interns who want to learn about the foundations of an early stage business by tackling real world tasks and interacting directly with customers and the founding staff. This position gives you the opportunity to gain a tremendous amount of experience in Marketing, Sales, Business Development and much more. We are also a triple bottom line company, focusing on people, profits, and the planet. This is core to our company values and we are fighting to offer healthy food choices to people in the United States to combat the weight epidemic.
For more information about the company please visit our website and Facebook. Amara was also featured in the San Francisco Business Times!
We need serious interns who want to be a part of a team that is growing fast and on the cutting edge of the beverage industry. Over the past two years we have been expanding the company block by block, and we are expanding our intern team to help us build our presence in California.
