Summer Associate Internship

The Procurement and Vendor Management (PVM) business unit liaison team works with senior leaders across the enterprise and PVM functional teams to achieve positive outcomes that advance business unit strategies. PVM as a whole is responsible for strategically sourcing third party vendors, negotiating and executing contracts, managing third party risk and providing a framework for vendor oversight. The business unit liaison team drives early awareness into critical initiatives that require third party support and enables PVM functions to prepare and align resources to support these initiatives effectively.
