Procurement Intern
We’re an international agtech startup pioneering an ambitious mission in a high growth industry where agriculture meets technology to solve our toughest climate and economic challenges. Through the use of data-driven insights, natural microbiology, and innovative digital technologies, Indigo is partnering across the supply chain, ultimately cultivating a scalable climate solution and enhanced partner ecosystem that beneficially serves farmers, consumers, and the planet alike.
Our mission is unique, and therefore our teams are too: from multigenerational farming gurus who understand the land as though it were an extension of themselves, to cutting-edge techies on the frontier of innovation, our teams are a reflection of the range of the stakeholders we serve: the Earth, the Farmer, and the Consumer.
The Procurement Intern will support the Procurement team with sourcing products and services, collaborating with cross-functional internal customers in investigating opportunities to lower costs, and executing category strategies. They will also assist the supplier relationship management, including negotiations.
This internship opportunity will be part-time, 15 hours per week. We will be as flexible as possible working around school schedules.
