FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
PepsiCo Global Procurement is focused on a One North America strategy composed of both the Beverages and Foods business (roles available in Purchase, NY and Plano, TX). The Procurement function is responsible for developing and executing sourcing strategies that deliver best-in-class economics, supply assurance, innovation, and sustainability practices for both people and the planet.
Procurement is a highly collaborative organization that partners across many functions within the company, including R&D (scientists and engineers to develop industry-leading ingredients and packaging), Marketing (ensure supplier capabilities grow in line with future-looking consumer insights), Finance and Legal (robust analysis and reporting metrics and competitor intel, and best-in-class agreements with external industries), and Manufacturing Plants (facilities that efficiently produce the snacks and beverages that make consumers smile across the globe) to name a few.
Global Procurement develops deep industry knowledge and delivers competitive advantage to PEP by negotiating best-in-class sourcing strategies across the following areas:
- Packaging (cans, bottles, chip bags, etc.)
- Ingredients (Seasonings & Flavors, Vegetable Oils, Potatoes, Sugar, Corn, etc.)
- Supply Assurance (planning & analysis, logistics, manufacturing, etc.)
- Commodity Risk Management (hedging programs, risk mitigation, competitive analysis, etc.)
- Indirects (IT, Marketing Equipment, Services, etc)

This structure mirrors the project-based work process of full-time employees. Although this process lends itself to great autonomy in setting the agenda, workflow and output, interns have the full support of their managers and the broader Global Procurement function. As a class, PepsiCo interns are availed of best-in-class exposure to senior leadership, education on the myriad pieces of the global PepsiCo organization, and opportunities to build relationships with fellow interns across PepsiCo through a summer calendar packed with fun events.

- Develop comprehensive procurement strategies and programs that improve quality, productivity, sustainability and innovation
- Develop expertise in procurement fundamentals and categories
- Develop functional knowledge including Cost Management, Responsible & Ethical Sourcing, etc.
- Gain exposure to category contracts and supplier management
- Gather and analyze data to provide meaningful insights
- Work with cross-functional global teams on unique and focused project work
- GP internships will be located in Plano, TX or Purchase, NY.
Previous Global Procurement intern projects have included:
- Should PepsiCo vertically integrate the production of a key brand rely on external manufacturing? Should we buy equipment, lease, pursue another path? What are the advantages/disadvantages to localize overseas operations?
- Identify and develop an industry appropriate sustainability scheme to supplement our apple juice sourcing strategy. Assess all options, align key stakeholders and make business recommendations.
- Develop a template to track supplier greenhouse gas reductions, benchmark across 20 rigid packaging suppliers, and develop recommendations to optimize results.
- Conduct an analysis of different sourcing strategies including RFPs, e-auctions, blind auctions, reverse auctions, etc. and the optimal conditions for each type, including how they apply to different Packaging and Ingredient categories at PEP.

Get Access To All JobsProcurement Director CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Procurement Director role qualify for CPT authorization?
Yes, if your degree program includes supply chain management, operations, procurement, or business coursework that the role directly supports. Your DSO evaluates whether the specific job duties, not just the title, constitute an integral part of your curriculum. A director-level role with strategic sourcing, vendor management, and contract oversight responsibilities aligns well with operations and MBA programs.
Can I do CPT as a Procurement Director at a company that has never hired F-1 students before?
You can, but you'll need to prepare the employer. They'll need to issue an offer letter that meets your school's CPT documentation requirements and confirm they can comply with I-9 employment verification. Many procurement employers in manufacturing, healthcare, and retail have HR infrastructure that handles this, even without prior F-1 experience.
Does full-time CPT as a Procurement Director affect my OPT eligibility?
Yes. If you accumulate 12 or more months of full-time CPT across your degree program, you lose OPT eligibility entirely. Part-time CPT, defined as 20 hours per week or fewer, does not count against OPT regardless of how many months you work. Track your CPT hours carefully with your DSO before accepting a full-time Procurement Director position.
What job duties should a Procurement Director role include to satisfy CPT requirements?
The role should involve strategic sourcing, supplier evaluation, contract negotiation, and spend analysis at a level that applies graduate or upper-division coursework. You can cross-reference the O*NET occupation profile for Procurement Directors to identify the core tasks that map to your program's learning objectives, which strengthens your CPT application to your DSO.
Where can I find Procurement Director roles where employers already understand F-1 work authorization?
Migrate Mate lists procurement and supply chain roles from employers with documented work authorization filing history, so you're not spending time explaining CPT eligibility to companies that have no familiarity with F-1 students. Targeting employers who have sponsored international workers before significantly reduces friction in the offer and onboarding process.
