As an Intern Supply Chain Specialist at IBM, you'll gain hands-on experience applying supply chain and business concepts while developing exposure to SAP, one of the world's leading enterprise technology platforms. You'll work alongside experienced IBM professionals while learning how organizations manage procurement, materials, inventory, customer orders, fulfillment, logistics, and distribution through SAP-enabled business solutions.

As part of our SAP practice, you'll work alongside experienced consultants, SAP specialists, supply chain professionals, and technology experts while developing practical business, analytical, problem-solving, and consulting skills.

Depending on business needs, your skills, academic background, and career interests, you may gain experience in one of the following areas:

• SAP Materials Management (MM) - focused on how organizations manage procurement, purchasing, materials, inventory, suppliers, and related supply chain processes.
• SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) - focused on how organizations manage customer orders, sales processes, pricing, fulfillment, shipping, billing, and distribution.

You do not need prior SAP experience to get started. Many interns join IBM with a foundation in supply chain, business, operations, or analytics and begin developing SAP expertise through mentorship, structured learning, IBM Skills Build, hands-on projects, AI-enabled tools, and real client experiences.

No two projects are exactly alike, you may contribute to projects supporting clients across industries including manufacturing, consumer products, retail, healthcare, energy, automotive, industrial, public sector, and more.

Throughout your internship, you'll gain exposure to end-to-end supply chain processes while learning how SAP and other enterprise technologies help organizations improve operational performance. You'll see how business requirements are translated into technology-enabled solutions and how data, automation, analytics, and Artificial Intelligence are transforming modern supply chains.
