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.**
What You'll Gain
*** Hands-on experience solving realistic procurement and sourcing challenges.**
*** Practical experience with spend analysis and savings tracking.**
*** Experience building supplier scorecards and evaluation frameworks.**
*** Experience drafting RFQs and comparing vendor proposals.**
*** Understanding of total cost of ownership and negotiation preparation.**
*** Experience mapping procure-to-pay processes and approval workflows.**
*** Practical exposure to inventory planning and lead-time analysis.**
*** Understanding of procurement KPIs and supplier performance reporting.**
