We seek to build a resilient and forward-looking portfolio that delivers good sustainable returns over the long term. We have 13 offices in 9 countries around the world. We are seeking an AI & Automation Intern to support procurement operations by driving workflow transformation, process automation, and AI-enabled improvements. This internship offers hands-on exposure to procurement processes and the opportunity to deliver tangible enhancements to efficiency, cycle time, and stakeholder experience. The ideal candidate is structured, detail-oriented, and motivated by improving how work gets done—combining process discipline with an interest in automation and applied AI. ## Expectations and Deliverables The intern will work on a real, end-to-end business flow involving vendors, buyers, receipt creation, and Accounts Payable. Key deliverables include: - Designing and prototyping automation + AI-assisted workflows in Workday to reduce manual effort, speed up cycle time, and improve accuracy. - Delivering process maps, a prioritized transformation roadmap, and a working prototype/demo. ### What Success Looks Like (Outputs by end of 6 months) - Clear As-Is + To-Be process maps and exception taxonomy. - A prioritized automation & AI opportunity backlog with estimated impact. - A working prototype/demo validated with process owners. - An implementation-ready requirements + rollout + metrics package. - Well-structured Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and job aids. ## Responsibilities **Process Discovery and Analysis:** - Discover and map the real process (As-Is) covering the flow from Goods Receipt to Invoice. - Deep-dive into the end-to-end flow: acceptance document verification, goods/services receipt confirmation, invoice verification and upload, matching, exceptions, approvals, and readiness for payment. - Conduct stakeholder interviews and working sessions (including Procurement, AP, requestors, receiving users, and key vendors where relevant). - Document process steps, decision points, handoffs, SLAs, controls, and pain points (e.g., missing PO/GR, mismatches, partial receipts, price/quantity variances, duplicates). **Bottleneck Diagnosis and Opportunity Quantification:** - Identify root causes behind delays and rework (exception patterns, manual touchpoints, unclear ownership, data quality gaps). - Establish baseline metrics where possible (cycle time, exception rate, touches per invoice, aging/backlog, rework loops). - Prioritize opportunities using impact vs. effort and dependencies (quick wins vs. structural improvements). **Future-State Design with Automation & AI:** - Propose streamlined workflows leveraging Workday capabilities (routing, approvals, validations, notifications, exception handling). - Identify points where automation makes sense (rules-based) versus where AI assists best (triage, classification, recommendation). - Define “human-in-the-loop” controls for auditability and safe adoption (thresholds, approval gates, exception escalation). ### Competencies Gained - Exposure to a real enterprise Procure-to-Pay environment on a top Enterprise Resource Planning application. - Gaining end-to-end ownership: discovery → design → prototype → business case. - Mentorship and regular check-ins with process and transformation leads. - Building a portfolio-grade project with measurable operational impact. - Appreciation of how business and system controls (policy, approvals, audit trail, Segregation of Duty) shape process design. ## Requirements - Currently pursuing a degree in Business Analytics, Information Systems, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Finance/Accounting, or a similar field. - Comfortable with ambiguity and adept at asking sharp questions to uncover how work truly happens. - Strong structured thinking ability: capacity to break down complex processes into clean workflows and decision rules. - Confident communicator capable of aligning stakeholders and articulating a clear transformation story. ### Bonus Skills (Nice-to-Have) - Experience with process mapping (BPMN, Visio/Miro) and Lean/problem-solving methodologies (5 Whys, Pareto). - Data skills, including Excel, Power BI; SQL is a plus. - Interest in workflow/RPA technologies (Workday workflows, Power Automate/UiPath familiarity). - Interest in applied AI/LLM concepts (prompting, classification, summarization, human-in-the-loop design). ## Applying to this role This AI & Automation Intern, Procurement (Jan - Jun 2027) role at Temasek runs through the firm's own careers portal and expects a CV and cover letter written specifically for the posting, not a portable submission carried across firms.
