Internships

Interns play an integral role at Fossil Group—you’re the innovators-to-be, the big idea-creators, and the passionate newcomers who inspire us to make great products.

We offer a range of year-round internship opportunities for current students who enjoy working collaboratively in an exciting and influential environment.

During Fossil Group’s semester long intern program (approx. 40 hours/week), you’ll gain real-world experience working alongside the most creative thinkers and changemakers in the industry. Placed on one of our owned or licensed brand teams, each intern is assigned a mentor who will provide guidance and training while exposing them to hands-on responsibilities that directly impact our business goals. Interns will create and present a personal project that allows them to share their fresh perspectives and ideas with the members of our Executive Leadership Team at the conclusion of each program.

We’re excited to teach you what we know and be inspired by your insights!

Hear what it’s like to be a Fossil Group intern

"During my internship, I worked on small leather accessories and noticed that people my age were looking for smaller wallets to carry. I mentioned this in a meeting and my creative director encouraged me to concept it. My design was sampled, produced, and eventually sold in stores! It was exciting to see my idea put into production"

- Mallory Barkocy Hunter

"I feel like I’ve made an impact at Fossil by being part of a collaborative team effort of seeing products come into fruition. I'm starting to see some products in stores and online that I was able to assist in getting out there, and that's an exciting feeling!"

- Marc Reilly

"I interned with the product development team and immediately felt welcomed as part of the team and not like a temporary employee. I loved my experience as an intern and made it a goal to work here in the future."

- Desiree Natali

"What makes the intern experience so special is Fossil Group’s initiative to challenge the interns’ creativity. I felt respected and valued not only on my team but to the company as a whole. I was always given a platform to present my ideas, and received constructive feedback in return, which helped me grow as a designer and a professional."

- Taeyoung Chang

"Interning at Fossil gave me the foundation and knowledge base in watch design that enables me to be innovative and creative today. With Fossil Group’s expansive portfolio of brands, I am able to not only impact our business but also that of another major brand. Being able to have a direct hand in the design for seasonal watch collections is very exciting and rewarding."
