Job Description

The Role:

At General Motors, we do not just build vehicles; we build the future of mobility. As part of our commitment to innovation and excellence, we are looking for enthusiastic, forward-thinking students to join our 2027 Summer MBA Internship Program.

This 12-week internship offers the opportunity to work within Global Purchasing & Supply Chain (GPSC) on a high-visibility strategic project tied to real business needs. You will help GM source, buy, build, and move materials at scale while contributing to a resilient, agile, cost-effective, and sustainable supply base.

Depending on business needs and your experience, your assignment may support supply chain automation, strategic purchasing, advanced analytics, risk sensing, demand and supply planning, supplier resiliency, process improvement, or digital transformation.

What you'd do

Simplify purchasing and supply chain processes and support automation, AI, analytics, workflow, and systems-integration solutions that improve productivity, data quality, decision-making, and user experience.
Support sourcing for parts, services, automation equipment, and other purchasing needs, including RFx and bid packages, supplier development and evaluation, sourcing events, benchmarking, cost analysis, contract strategy, and supplier performance management.
Analyze supply chain, supplier, operational, and supply/demand data to improve visibility, identify risks, support predictive decision-making, and strengthen supply chain mapping and event-to-response timelines.
Support operations strategy, demand and supply planning, supplier resiliency, logistics, and cost optimization across areas such as Value-Added Assembly, the Logistics Optimization Center, Supplier Park, manufacturing, and warehousing.
Analyze complex business problems, data, workflows, and operational information to identify risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities.
Translate findings into clear recommendations, business cases, implementation plans, and decision materials for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Support the development and execution of purchasing, sourcing, supply chain, and operational strategies.
Conduct market, supplier, benchmarking, and cost analyses to identify opportunities, risks, innovation, and savings.
Help evaluate suppliers, processes, tools, and technology solutions based on business requirements and expected outcomes.
Support the development, testing, and implementation of analytics, automation, AI-enabled, and other digital solutions.
