We are looking for a motivated intern to join the Operational & Strategic Excellence team for a structured learning experience focused on the digital transformation of raw material sourcing activities. With guidance from the company tutor and team members, the intern will develop practical skills in data consolidation, data quality and process automation, working with supplier quotation information exchanged through emails and Excel files.
The internship offers supervised exposure to a real business challenge at the intersection of procurement, data analytics and automation. Through coaching, observation and gradual participation in project activities, the intern will learn how structured and reliable data can support more efficient, consistent and transparent sourcing decisions.
Raw material sourcing processes involve multiple quotation rounds, numerous supplier inputs and information that needs to be compared and consolidated. Part of this activity creates a useful learning environment in which the intern can understand data preparation, harmonization and reporting practices.
The Operational & Strategic Excellence team is supporting the development of automated or semi-automated processes for business intelligence reporting. Under supervision, the intern will learn how these reports support the evaluation of supplier quotations and target price adjustments during sourcing activities.
The purpose of the internship is to develop the intern's professional and technical skills through supervised participation in activities related to sourcing data and reporting. The learning path will include understanding the current process, structuring data from different sources, recognizing data quality issues, and contributing to analytical or automation solutions. Activities will be assigned progressively and carried out with guidance from the company tutor and relevant team members.
