Responsibilities

  • The internship program will be approximately 10 weeks over the summer months. An internship in Global Procurement at PepsiCo is an opportunity to independently solve a critical business problem. Each intern is presented with a timely question for their team and challenged to think strategically to provide a provocative and comprehensive recommendation during their final presentation. This structure mirrors the project-based work process of full-time employees. Although this process lends itself to great autonomy in setting the agenda, workflow and output, interns have the full support of their managers and the broader Global Procurement function. As a class, PepsiCo interns are availed of best-in-class exposure to senior leadership, education on the myriad pieces of the global PepsiCo organization, and opportunities to build relationships with fellow interns across PepsiCo through a summer calendar packed with fun events!
  • Each MBA intern in Global Procurement will be assigned to one of the above categories and will:
  • Develop comprehensive procurement strategies and programs that improve quality, productivity, sustainability and innovation
  • Develop expertise in procurement fundamentals and categories
  • Develop functional knowledge including Cost Management, Responsible & Ethical Sourcing, etc
  • Gain exposure to category contracts and supplier management
  • Gather and analyze data to provide meaningful insights
  • Work with cross-functional global teams on unique and focused project work
  • GP internships will be located in Plano, TX or Purchase, NY
  • Previous Global Procurement intern projects have included:
  • Should PepsiCo vertically integrate the production of Popcorners or rely on external manufacturing? Should we buy equipment, lease, pursue another path? What are the advantages/disadvantages to localize overseas operations?
  • Identify and develop an industry appropriate sustainability scheme to supplement our apple juice sourcing strategy. Assess all options, align key stakeholders and make business recommendations.
  • Develop a template to track supplier greenhouse gas reductions, benchmark across 20 rigid packaging suppliers, and develop recommendations to optimize results.
  • Conduct an analysis of different sourcing strategies including RFPs, e-auctions, blind auctions, reverse auctions, etc. and the optimal conditions for each type, including how they apply to different Packaging and Ingredient categories at PEP
