About Procurement
IHG Procurement exists to empower owners to make better decisions, so everything purchased for a hotel is the best it can be. After all, hotel owners have better things to do than worry about every point on a supply chain that brings each new item to every single part of their hotel.
That’s our job. We’re here to take care of everything transparently, efficiently, and economically. And we do it collaboratively, with suppliers who strive to not just do no harm, but to do good. We do this by offering the knowledge, tools, and flexibility that stakeholders need. We get it right by sticking to our set of principles. By understanding how we operate, together we’ll make life easier and achieve something special.
IHG Procurement Internship opportunities in the following functions:
• Procurement - Supply Chain
• Value Engineering
Who We Look For
We’re looking for emerging leaders that have ambitious personal and professional goals, a willingness to gain and share experiences, and a commitment to celebrating diversity in the workplace. In return, we will provide an unforgettable experience designed specifically to help you gain an insider’s view of the hospitality industry as well as applicable skills and a global lens of a career path in Procurement.
