Labatt Job Analysis


Through my chosen job posting, Labatt is looking for an ideal candidate to fill a spot in their trade marketing internship program throughout the summer. The overall objective of this role is to increase the incentives for retailers to offer your product by providing them with ways to increase their own sales to consumers (i.e. free trial, point-of-purchase displays, events etc.); this often results in increased sales for both parties involved. The position requires candidates fill two separate roles, the first requiring them to complete regular and realistic day-to-day tasks as an assistant to their superiors and the second asking them to act as a consultant and complete two specialized projects assigned to their role. With relation to day-to-day tasks, the job requires interns to work with external suppliers to determine their demands, and then communicate these demands to internal company sales teams and external below the line agencies in order to execute on them. In regards to the additional specialized projects assigned, interns are asked to complete two separate process improvement, and trade activation innovation projects to be presented to Labatt executives at the end of their term. The combination of fluid day-to-day tasks and structured summer long projects requires interns to display creativity, strong time management skills, problem solving, and flexibility. The ideal candidate for this position has to fit within the Labatt company culture, and must possess the skills necessary to complete tasks in a timely fashion. They must have experience in the marketing industry, and must also be currently enrolled in a university degree program.

They must be a competent team player, who has the confidence and skills to step up into a leadership role. They must have an incredibly driven and creative personality, an entrepreneurial spirit, as well as the willingness to take risks and accountability for the results of their actions. Finally, in a company like Labatt, where they are striving to differentiate themselves in such a highly saturated market, employees must bring innovation to the projects that they work on, and be poised under pressure as they consistently focus on delivering innovation ahead of competitors. Labatt presents itself to candidates as an incredibly goal-oriented, success driven company searching for sustainable growth on a daily basis. They consider themselves to be one of the biggest and best breweries in the world and aspire to build off of this reputation and scale to become the best in the world. They strongly believe in the philosophy that external growth comes as a result of consistent internal employee growth. As such, they push employees to new limits by challenging them and encouraging creativity, providing a sense of ownership and in turn an entrepreneurial spirit. Labatt also believes that their main driver of success is our dream, our people, our culture, and these three things prove to potential employees that they are team oriented, supportive and focused. They also increase their appeal to candidates because of their willingness to teach and invest in their talent through the form of workshops and leadership programs.
