Operations Manager Internship

The internship covers a wide spread of operations work, with you supporting rather than leading each area.

• Processes and planning: help map, review and improve organisational processes, and assist with planning and coordinating activities and workflows.
• Supply chain, cost and quality: track operational requirements and process flows, organise information to spot efficiency gains, and join quality control reviews that check processes are followed.
• Teams, data and risk: help coordinate team activities and responsibilities, keep operational information in ERP systems where applicable, track performance metrics for reviews, and document risk management actions. You will also use quantitative analysis, logical reasoning and verbal communication for problem-solving and reporting.

The posting does not name a degree or year of study. It looks for interest and ability in these areas:

• Improving operational efficiency through process modelling, Lean Six Sigma, supply chain management, cost management and quality control.
• Supporting team management, ERP systems, performance metrics, risk management and decision making in a structured setting.
• Using quantitative analysis, verbal communication and logical reasoning to understand information, share observations and suggest practical solutions.

The internship runs for six months and the location is Delhi, with a hybrid mode stated in the post.

• Read up on Lean Six Sigma basics and be ready to explain one idea, such as removing waste from a process, in simple words.
• Practise drawing a simple process map for something you know well, like a college event or a club workflow, so you can show how you think.
• Keep a small example where you tracked numbers or a deadline, and be clear about what you noticed from it.
• Get comfortable with spreadsheets, since performance metrics and cost information are a large part of this work.
• Prepare to talk about a time you coordinated people, and how you kept track of who was doing what.
