Internship - Procurement Transformation Europe

This internship showed me what transformation really looks like in practice. From streamlining and automating reporting to navigating stakeholders, I learned how procurement evolves from the inside out — and I loved every minute of it!

The internship

Are you eager to gain hands-on experience in business transformation, project management, and procurement? As an intern, you will support a high-impact regional transformation program in Europe within our Global Procurement organization. You’ll work at the intersection of communication, engineering new ways of working, and supporting on data and reporting automation.

This internship is perfect for someone who wants to see how transformation really happens — not just in theory, but in real life.

• Creating and improving communication materials for stakeholders across Europe
• Supporting project planning and tracking key deliverables
• Standardizing and automating reporting to improve transparency and decision-making
