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.
