The idea is that this engagement becomes a mechanism to learn finance & procurement, technology, business analytics and business processes to help organizations mitigate price volatility and reduce supply chain disruption besides cost savings.

The ideal candidate will have a long term vision of 5-10 years on topics like Cost Management, Cost Efficiency, Cost Transformation, Cost Analytics and how it influences corporate growth and revenue, stakeholder collaboration, shareholder value and customer satisfaction.

There are 3 types of Solution providers in our industry –

1) Technology (SAP Ariba, Coupa, Zycus, Jaggaer, etc.)

2) Consulting (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, AT Kearney, Deloitte, etc) and

3) Business Process (Accenture, Capgemini, Infosys, etc).

You will learn in a real life situation how fusion of technology, data analytics and business process engineering help achieve measurable value and 10X ROI for clients.

  • Initially it takes a few weeks/month to understand what Procurement and Cost transformation is all about. Gradually you will realize that the C-suite starts paying attention to what you have to say and how you can help them realize terrific value.
  • You will start out as Market Research interns and move to Customer Account Specialist since most of the work done will be around Customers.

What a typical day would look like?
