Supply Chain Internship - Open Application

Supply Chain Internship - Open Application We are continuously looking for motivated Supply Chain interns to join our team in Sassenheim, NLD. Rather than advertising individual intern positions with fixed start dates, we've created this open application so you can express your interest at any time — regardless of when you're available.

The Role

Join AkzoNobel and help protect iconic landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge with our sustainable and innovative paints and coatings. Our diverse team of over 60 supply chain enthusiasts from 20+ countries develops a global supply chain network that serves millions of customers. We value diversity and collaboration to create an ambitious, open-minded, proactive and informal work environment.

As a Supply Chain intern, you will work with stakeholders to set a plan for global sites that satisfies demand while considering complex constraints — becoming a crucial part of AkzoNobel's significant pillar that runs most of its supply chain activities.

As a student, you can learn about supply planning for a paints and coatings production site. This involves:

• Developing efficient plans to meet customer demand and managing resources
• Ensuring the availability of raw materials and packaging
• Managing relationships with suppliers
• Planning for the distribution of products

What Can You Expect From Us?

As a student, you can expect the department to be deeply invested in your personal and professional growth, with the goal of developing you into a future leader or expert in the field. Through this internship, you will be able to:

• Develop your skillset in managing operations and using tools effectively (SAP, Excel)
• Build your understanding of accountability in a professional environment
• Benefit from frequent coaching and feedback sessions to help you improve and grow
• Participate in cross-functional projects and continuously develop your skills and experience
