Résumé du poste

Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. is seeking a US Commercial Supply Chain Intern for Summer 2027 based in New Jersey.

The intern will spend roughly half time on an outside-in research capstone delivering tangible value back to the organization, and the balance embedded with the supply chain teams—learning end-to-end operations, sitting in on the work, and building real business context.

Responsabilités

• Conduct structured research using publicly available sources on topics such as supply-chain best practices, risk sensing, control-tower models, and emerging AI/digital use cases, and translate findings into clear recommendations.
• Benchmark how leading pharmaceutical and life-sciences companies approach a defined challenge and summarize implications for DSI.
• Partner and rotate across USSCM teams (e.g., planning, distribution, CMO/technical operations, analytics) to learn how a pharma supply chain operates end to end.
• Observe and document CoE and supply chain workflows, building understanding of processes, systems, and cross-functional handoffs.
• Synthesize work into concise deliverables and present a final capstone at the Tech Unit Internship Achievement Presentation.
• What You'll Learn
• How product moves from manufacturing through distribution to patients, and the planning, quality, and compliance controls along the way.
• How a Center of Excellence drives process improvement, analytics, and digital/AI enablement across a large organization.
• How cross-functional supply chain teams collaborate to solve real operational challenges.
