Internship - Procurement Category Management

HEINEKEN is looking for you!

Every day we work with pride on our great products that you have certainly had in your hand at a party, during a work meeting, or at home on the couch. HEINEKEN is much more than just beer. What about brands like Heineken 0.0, Apple Bandit, Amstel Radler, and Birra Moretti. Your personality, knowledge, and skills are the success of our organization.

The internship

Are you passionate about supply chains and understanding how supplier markets work? Curious about how it can help our Commerce activities be more efficient? Do you have an analytical mindset and strong communication skills? Then we are looking for you!

As a valued member of the Heineken Global Procurement Commerce and Business Services team, you will be supporting our Global Category Managers in various procurement activities. Your work will focus on spend analysis, supplier engagement, negotiation preparation, and market analysis.

More concretely, you will:

• Conduct spend analysis to identify cost-saving opportunities and efficiencies.
• Engage with suppliers to gather information and support contract management (KPIs tracking).
• Prepare for negotiations by compiling relevant data and insights.
• Perform market analysis to understand trends and identify potential new suppliers.
• Support the development and implementation of the supplier relationship management process (e.g. periodical business reviews).

During your internship, you will get the opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as a company and work with various countries. We give you the trust and freedom so you can work like a real entrepreneur. We like to bring the outside world inside and therefore we embrace new, fresh ideas with enthusiasm. Of course, always with the guidance that is right for you.

The department

As a Procurement intern, you will report to one of the Global Category managers for POSM or Commercial Equipment (Fridges, Draught), and your position is based in Amsterdam.
