Job Description

Company Overview

Pearl West Group (PWG) is building the future of consumer brands—fast, lean, and with a playbook engineered for scale. We operate like a modern, mini-Unilever : multiple brands, centralized growth engines, and a high-performance culture that moves at startup speed with private equity discipline.

We currently own and operate six fast-growing e-commerce brands across beauty, wellness, health, and lifestyle with over $40M+ in annual revenue and more acquisitions in the pipeline. Our mission is straightforward :

Build brands that leave lasting impressions — and exit them at their peak.

Our team is small, hungry, and built around Competitive Greatness, Speed to Execution, Team Empowerment, and Relentless Ownership. This is not a slow-moving corporate environment — this is where young operators can grow faster in 12 months than most do in three years.

If you want to see how real consumer brands are built from the inside — this is your opportunity.

Role Overview

As a Product Development Intern, you’ll support our Product Development team in researching new product opportunities, analyzing trends, understanding customer needs, and helping build our 12-month Product Pipeline. This role blends creativity with analytical thinking, giving you exposure to how new ideas turn into real products that hit the market.

You’ll work closely with product developers, sourcing, and cross-functional teams to learn the fundamentals of product research, competitive analysis, customer insights, and early-stage product validation. This is a hands-on internship where you’ll grow through real responsibilities, not busywork.

This role is internship / entry-level, suitable for fresh graduates, students, or early-career candidates looking to break into e-commerce, product development, brand management, or consumer brand building.

  • Assist in validating product ideas using customer feedback, surveys, and internal testing workflows.
  • Collaborate with the sourcing team by preparing basic documentation needed for supplier discussions.
  • Support internal presentations by preparing research summaries, product snapshots, and data sheets.
  • Learn PWG’s brand voice and customer avatar, and apply those insights in research tasks.
  • Contribute creative ideas for improving product concepts and identifying opportunities in our niches.
