The Estée Lauder Companies

E-commerce Intern · Manhattan, New York · June 2026 - August  2026

As an E-commerce Intern at The Estée Lauder Companies, I worked where brand storytelling meets the buy button: publishing live site pages for promotional events and new product launches, quality-checking the experiences customers actually see, and looking for ways to make the merchandising workflow faster and sharper.
