2023 Leadership Development Summer Internship Program (MIA)

Restaurant Brands International Inc. is one of the world's largest quick service restaurant companies with more than $35 billion in annual system-wide sales and over 28,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries. RBI owns four of the world's most prominent and iconic quick service restaurant brands – TIM HORTONS®, BURGER KING®, POPEYES® and FIREHOUSE SUBS®. These independently operated brands have been serving their respective guests, franchisees and communities for decades. Through its Restaurant Brands for Good framework, RBI is improving sustainable outcomes related to its food, the planet, and people and communities.

Our 10-week internships for undergraduates give top-performing individuals an early taste of real business challenges. During your summer with us, you’ll get to own a key project that’s been selected by our senior leaders. Some past examples include developing a methodology for tracking working capital assets and liabilities, redesigning our food holding tool to automate and simplify food holding times, etc.– projects which offer the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the business. This is definitely not a coffee-getting, copy-making kind of internship – you’ll be using your skills to the fullest. Do well, and we’ll invite you to join our Leadership Development Program after you graduate. RBI will provide travel and temporary housing assistance to all candidates selected to join our paid 10-week Summer Internship Program. 

It all begins with a week of orientation activities at our corporate office. We’ll give you an in-depth snapshot of our business and culture by exposing you to brand and functional overviews and exciting trainings such as problem-solving methodology which will set you up for success during your project-based internship. You’ll also spend time learning about our guest experience and restaurant operations.

After onboarding and training, you’ll jump right into your project. The challenging project assigned to you will enable you to make a big impact on our organization – every project we assign to our interns receives sign off by senior leadership to ensure the work supports a key initiative of our organization. Projects assigned to interns support work in marketing, digital, communications, retail, supply chain, operations, development, finance, global business services and our restaurant technology group to name a few.

You’ll receive plenty of guidance, support, and exposure. In addition to getting assigned a buddy within the company, you will continue to receive trainings, participate in leadership team lunch-and-learns, have formal and informal performance reviews, and attend social outings with fellow interns.

At the end of your internship, you’ll deliver a final presentation to the head of your department, outlining your proposal and recommendation(s) to the leadership team.
