ABOUT THE TEAM:

Rocket Lab is a global leader in space exploration, and our Supply Chain Management team is integral to our success. We provide real-world work experience and training to help interns better understand the process data and tools that drive successful supply chains and cost reduction. Our team supports all areas of the business, offering career pathways in EIS, Planning, Procurement, Inventory, and Logistics. 

THE CHALLENGE: 

Rocket Lab is transitioning to a Just-In-Time (JIT) supply chain model and working towards pre-kitting parts at suppliers where applicable. This shift requires significant analysis, master data management, and the development of a comprehensive "plan for every electron part." Our goal is to reduce inventory and risk by adding strategic supply chain buffers and ensuring JIT supply of parts to production. 

YOUR MISSION: 

As a Supply Chain Management Intern, you will tackle the challenge of poor working capital management due to excess inventory holding. At the time of writing, there are $8.62 million of potentially unnecessary invoices to be paid due to time-phased supply not being aligned with demand (actual consumption). Your primary goals will include: 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE:

REQUIREMENT:

WHAT TO EXPECT 

We’re on a mission to unlock the potential of space to improve life on Earth, but that’s not an easy task. It takes hard work, determination, relentless innovation, teamwork, grit, and an unwavering commitment to achieving what others often deem impossible. Our people out-think, out-work and out-pace. We pride ourselves on having each other’s backs, checking our egos at the door, and rolling up our sleeves on all tasks big and small. We thrive under pressure, work to tight deadlines, and our focus is always on how we can deliver, rather than dwelling on the challenges that stand in the way.
