We're looking for analytical, detail-driven students to join our Procurement Internship and gain hands-on experience in how companies source, evaluate, and manage the suppliers that keep a business running — from spend analysis and vendor negotiations to purchase orders and supplier scorecards.

About the Internship

As a Procurement Intern, you'll work on realistic procurement challenges involving spend analysis, supplier evaluation, RFQ processes, contract comparisons, and cost-savings tracking.

You'll learn how procurement teams balance cost, quality, and risk to make sure the right goods and services arrive at the right time, at the right price.

Responsibilities

Analyze mock spend data to identify cost patterns, categories, and savings opportunities.
Build spend dashboards breaking down purchases by category, vendor, and department.
Draft mock RFQs (requests for quotation) with clear specifications and timelines.
Compare vendor quotes in mock datasets and recommend the best-fit supplier.
Build supplier scorecards rating mock vendors on price, quality, delivery, and reliability.
Research supplier qualification criteria and draft evaluation checklists.
Draft mock purchase order summaries with terms, quantities, and delivery schedules.
Review mock contract excerpts and summarize key commercial terms.
Analyze lead-time data for mock suppliers and flag delay risks.
Track cost-savings initiatives and build savings-vs-target reports.
Research total cost of ownership (TCO) and compare it with unit-price-only views.
Draft negotiation prep briefs with objectives, walk-away points, and leverage analysis.
Analyze single-source vs. multi-source supplier strategies for mock categories.
Map a mock procure-to-pay process and identify bottlenecks and control gaps.
Draft supplier onboarding checklists covering compliance and documentation.
Research ethical sourcing and sustainability criteria for mock vendor policies.
Build approval-workflow outlines for purchase requests at different spend levels.
Analyze inventory reorder patterns and draft reorder-point recommendations.
Summarize procurement KPIs (cost savings, on-time delivery, PO cycle time) in mock reports.
Use AI tools for data analysis, reporting, documentation, and research.
Present procurement analyses and sourcing recommendations to stakeholders.

Requirements

Current student or recent graduate in Business Administration, Supply Chain, Finance, Economics, Operations, or a related field.
Strong interest in how companies source goods and services strategically.
Analytical, detail-oriented thinker comfortable with numbers.
Comfortable working with spreadsheets and basic data analysis.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Organized, structured, and reliable with documentation.
Interest in negotiation, supplier management, or business operations.
Familiarity with Excel/Google Sheets (formulas, pivot tables) is a plus but not required.
Familiarity with ERP or procurement software concepts (SAP, Oracle) is a plus but not required.
Familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar platforms is a plus.
Previous professional procurement experience is not required.
