Division Overview

The Strategic Sourcing Division serves as the enterprise center of expertise for sourcing, supplier management, third-party risk operations, and supporting technologies. The team partners with business units and suppliers to drive efficient processes, maintain high-quality data, and support effective supplier governance across the source-to-pay lifecycle.

Position Overview

The Third Party Service Provider Intern will support supplier lifecycle management, data governance, reporting, and operational activities related to third-party risk management.

Interns are expected to work in the office Monday through Thursday when working full-time during the summer, consistent with the team's standard hybrid schedule. During the school year, we recognize the need for flexibility around academic commitments, but interns are expected to be onsite as much as possible based on their class schedules.
