Supply Chain Intern (Summer 2025)

Overview

Internship Overview

Tactile Medical is offering a Supply Chain internship opportunity for a student who is seeking to accelerate their professional experience and career trajectory in supply chain. Join a driven organization that is a compassionate leader in helping people living with chronic illnesses live better lives with at-home therapy devices.

In this 11-week internship program, our Supply Chain intern will join other interns to start out in our corporate headquarters campus in Minneapolis, MN for the first three days to learn from leaders across the entire organization. Our leaders will walk through how each of Tactile's collaborative teams identify patients, provide them with care, and ensure their lives are improved. We will provide an exclusively transparent view on how we at Tactile embrace change by proactively innovating our products, processes, and challenge each other.

After the first three days on campus, the Supply Chain intern is paired with a mentor on the supply chain team to dive into their internship focus. You will be given an authentic experience by working through real supply chain issues and contributing to meaningful projects. On the final day, all our interns will return to campus to celebrate their accomplishments and reflect on how they made a direct impact on helping people live a better quality of life.
