Supply Chain intern

What will you do?

• Take the Lead with These Responsibilities

  As our Supply Chain Intern, you will support critical processes that keep our supplier network running smoothly and efficiently. Your day-to-day impact will include:

  • Supporting supplier contract management — reviewing contract terms, ensuring documentation accuracy, tracking renewals, and helping maintain contract databases.
  • Generating and analyzing supplier performance reports to help the team track KPIs such as on‑time delivery, quality metrics, responsiveness, and service levels.
  • Troubleshooting invoice discrepancies by partnering with Accounts Payable, Sourcing, and suppliers to resolve price mismatches, missing documentation, and payment delays.
  • Maintaining supplier data across systems (ERP, vendor portals, contract repositories) ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance.
  • Contributing to continuous improvement projects, including process mapping, waste reduction, and standardization initiatives.
  • Coordinating communication with suppliers for documentation requests, clarifications, or follow-up on open actions.
  • Preparing presentations and summaries for leadership meetings regarding supplier performance and operational risks.

  This role is hands-on, fast-paced, and perfect for someone eager to learn how real-world supply chains operate.

What skills and capabilities will make you successful?

• You’ll thrive in this role if you bring:

  • Analytical skills — ability to interpret data, identify trends, and propose insights.
  • Attention to detail — especially for reviewing contracts, tracking invoices, and ensuring data accuracy.
  • Strong communication skills — confidence working across teams and interacting with suppliers.
  • Problem-solving mindset — interest in finding root causes and driving resolutions.
  • Organization & prioritization — ability to manage several tasks, requests, and deadlines simultaneously.
  • Basic Excel proficiency — experience with lookups, pivot tables, or similar tools (or a willingness to learn quickly).
  • Collaboration & teamwork — comfort working with cross-functional teams including Sourcing, Finance, Quality, and Logistics.
  • Proactiveness — someone who takes initiative and isn’t afraid to ask questions or propose improvements.

What's in it for you?

• This internship offers high-value professional development and exposure to the full scope of supply chain operations, including:

  • Hands-on experience with supplier management, contracts, and operational processes.
  • Exposure to cross‑functional teams (Procurement, Logistics, Finance, Engineering).
  • Learning industry-leading tools and systems (ERP, analytics dashboards, contract repositories).
  • Opportunity to lead mini‑projects that demonstrate your capabilities and support process improvement.
  • Mentorship from experienced supply chain professionals to help you explore your career path.
  • A supportive, collaborative team culture where your contributions truly matter.
  • Possibility of future full-time opportunities for strong performers.

Who will you report to?

• You will report directly to the Supply Chain Manager (single-contributor role, not a leadership role).

  You will also work closely with:

  • Sourcing / Procurement team for supplier documentation and contracts.
  • Accounts Payable & Finance for invoice resolution.
  • Quality & Operations teams for supplier performance issues.

  You’ll be part of a dynamic, collaborative supply chain team, where everyone works together to support suppliers, internal stakeholders, and operational goals.

What qualifications will make you successful for this role?

• The following qualifications will help ensure success in the role:

  Required

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, International Relations, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
  • Knowledge of basic supply chain concepts (procurement, invoicing, supplier relations).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel and PowerPoint.
  • Ability to work on‑site as required by the team.
  • Strong communication skills and desire to collaborate.

  Preferred (Nice to Have)

  • Experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, OTM, etc.).
  • Previous internship or academic project involving supply chain or operations.
  • Familiarity with KPIs, dashboards, or data visualization tools (Power BI, Tableau).
  • Basic understanding of contract terminology or vendor management processes.
