Procurement Specialist

About the Position

As a procurement intern, you’ll work side-by-side with full-time employees to learn how we procure goods and services for the firm on a global basis. You will help develop and execute requests for proposal (RFPs), negotiate with vendors, reconcile disparate quotes, manage inventory, raise purchase orders, support global logistics, and analyze spend data.

Your internship project may focus on finding and implementing ways to improve efficiency in internal processes or on planning and researching sourcing efforts. Your mentors will come from different areas of the team, helping you understand the planning, execution, and problem-solving required before and after purchasing.

Your day-to-day project work will be complemented by lunch seminars, real-time discussions with the desk, and classes that provide broader fundamentals of Jane Street’s business and how your work fits into the firm.

About You

We’re more interested in how you think and learn than what you currently know. You should be:

• Passionate about supply chain management, including one or more of the following areas: global sourcing, inventory management, logistics, transportation
• Ideally majoring in supply chain management, business administration/management, operations, or a related field
• Highly proficient in Excel
• Intellectually curious, collaborative, and eager to learn
• Humble and unafraid to ask questions and admit mistakes
• A strong communicator, both written and verbal
• Comfortable working in a highly collaborative environment
