The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Walgreens is hiring a Surgeon in Oakland, CA.

• Role description

  The short pitch: Walgreens, Oakland, an internship Surgeon role, and Critical Thinking problems worth solving every single week. An internship Surgeon seat at Walgreens that pairs $102,000 - $141,000 with ownership, collaboration, and a long-term growth track.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Make the problem-solving call when the data points two different directions
  • Read a Continuous Learning system you didn't build and improve it anyway
  • Keep showing up for the Oakland, CA work after the launch buzz fades
  • Trade quick wins for impact-driven fixes when the math favors patience
  • Keep records, systems, and shared files organized and up to date
  • Support daily operations at our Oakland site and keep workflows moving
  • Defend the Analytical Thinking fundamentals when speed tempts everyone to skip them
  • Deliver deadline-driven results that align with broader business objectives

  What You'll Bring

  • Real Analytical Thinking chops, plus the Accountability curiosity to keep growing
  • A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
  • The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself

  Walgreens treats Oakland, CA as both home and laboratory, prototyping autonomy-driven general ideas no larger rival would risk. Our team in CA keeps a running list of what we'd do differently, and we actually act on it.

  We offer $102,000 - $141,000, performance bonuses, comprehensive insurance, and the freedom to shape how and where you work.

  The team in Oakland is interviewing on a rolling basis, so early applicants get noticed first.

  Bring 3 of grit or a fresh perspective; either way, this Surgeon role wants you.
