Description

Intern - Operations Planning & Optimization

$25.00-$30.00/hour

Get inside the planning engine of a nationwide moving and storage operation, and leave with analysis and tools the team keeps running.

PODS moves and stores for customers across the country. Every day, Operations decides how many jobs it can execute and at which Storage Centers, while delivering best-in-class safety and customer experience. The Operations Planning team steers that through reporting and analysis, capacity planning, and ownership of the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process.

You’ll report to the Sr. Manager, Operations Planning and work on live planning problems from your first week. You’ll own one or two focus projects with real deliverables, spend the rest of your time inside the planning cycle alongside Data Science, Finance and regional Operations, and present your results to Operations leadership at the end of the summer.
