CDW Marketing is building the next generation of B2B marketing powered by AI, insight, creativity, and measurable performance. We are looking for exceptional undergraduate students to join a high impact summer internship program designed to bring fresh perspectives, deliver real business value, and build a strong pipeline of future marketing talent for CDW.

Interns will work on meaningful projects from day one, partner closely with marketing leaders, and contribute to priority initiatives that support active CDW marketing work. Top performers may be considered for a full time opportunity in 2027.

This internship is intended for ambitious students who want to combine technology, problem solving, and business thinking in a fast moving marketing environment. Rather than rotating across unrelated assignments, each intern will work deeply within the defined focus area listed in the job title while collaborating cross functionally across the broader marketing organization.
