Job description

Commodity Management Intern (Consumer Electronics)

Location: Singapore, SG

About the role – you will:

• Market Analysis: Track global price trends and lead times for key electronic components (MLCCs, Memory, Chipsets) to help predict supply shifts.
• Cost Management: Assist in maintaining "Should-Cost" models and tracking Purchase Price Variance (PPV) to protect product margins.
• Supplier Relations: Support the quarterly business review (QBR) process by gathering performance data on quality, delivery, and cost.
• Lifecycle Tracking: Monitor "End-of-Life" (EOL) notifications to ensure we have enough stock for current production and future repairs.
• Data Integrity: Clean and manage large datasets within our ERP system (SAP/Oracle) to ensure 100% accuracy in parts sourcing and inventory.
• Sustainability: Support "Responsible Sourcing" initiatives, ensuring components meet environmental standards and ethical mineral sourcing.

About you:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Economics, or Electrical Engineering.
• You live in Excel (Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPs are second nature) and have an interest in data visualization tools like Power BI or Tableau.
• You have a basic understanding of what goes inside a gadget—you know the difference between a processor and a capacitor.
• You thrive in fast‑paced environments and can pivot quickly when market conditions change (e.g., a sudden chipset shortage).
• You can translate complex data into clear, actionable slides for senior management.

Your experience includes:

• Exposure to international supplier negotiations.
• Deep understanding of the "cradle-to-grave" lifecycle of consumer hardware.
