Supply Chain Intern-Dyson Americas-2020

Description:

By 2020, Dyson will have added new product categories and over 100 products to our portfolio – taking us far beyond the vacuums that started the company more than 20 years ago. What remains the same is our innovative culture, entrepreneurial spirit, and focus on wrong thinking that makes us who we are. At Dyson, we never stop transforming – our technologies and ourselves. And we’re looking for emerging leaders across our functions that are eager to learn by doing – not by watching. 

Dyson’s Summer Internship Program is a chance for rising seniors and graduate students (those completing their programs in 2021) at accredited US colleges and universities to join what Fast Company has called one of The Most Innovative Companies in the World. Our internships are different - it’s one of the reasons we were ranked one of the Top 100 Internship Programs in the Country in 2017 – and you will have the opportunity to show your skills and make contributions that impact our owners, our people and our global business. 

Dyson’s supply chain team is looking for analytical and dynamic interns to join our team this summer in our US Headquarters in Chicago. Our supply, demand and logistics teams work closely with the entire organization to provide thorough analysis of finished goods production plans and accurate management of inventory requirements across the Americas. You’ll get a front row seat as our teams assist in the monthly forecast review and meeting preparation, and collaborate with the sales organization and retailers to develop accurate SKU-level forecasts. 

What to expect from Dyson’s Summer Internship Program: 
·       We believe people should be paid for their work. Interns are no exception - these are full-time, paid internships including a housing stipend to spend the summer in Chicago if you are from outside of the Chicagoland area. 
·       The program will run for approximately 10-12 weeks (May/June - August 2020), and flexible based on academic calendars) 
·       Lunch and learns from Dyson leaders on our business, our strategy, and more! 
·       Special intern-only outings and trainings 
·       Leadership opportunities 
·       A brand-new US Headquarters office in Chicago, IL
·       Feedback from your manager, both during the program, and a summer-end recap to make sure you get the most of your time at Dyson 

Dyson moves fast and no two days will be the same. Here are some highlights you can expect of your internship:
·       Inside Dyson onboarding – learning the fundamentals of our products, people and strategy.
·       Team immersion – shadow, learn and support the day-to-day of your function while making real contributions, learning new skills, and challenging you to begin driving your internship.
·       The brief: intro to your mission – work side-by-side with team members or other interns on large-scale projects or be assigned a functional project to lead yourself from beginning to end.
·       Learning challenges – you will be expected to drive real projects forward and find new ways to contribute and grow as a leader. Through leadership trainings, skills challenges and day-to-day learning, you’ll grow by doing.
·       Solving problems others ignore – participate in design thinking workshops with the James Dyson Foundation and lead initiatives in our communities to help inspire the next generation of engineers.
·       New ventures: Our internship program will challenge you and prepare you for whatever your next career move brings. We’re looking for the best of the best, and top talent may end their summer with an offer for an Early Career role at Dyson, depending on your performance and the business need. An Early Career role gives you the chance to grow, learn, and contribute to Americas critical projects with global influence after graduation.
