Internship Lean Processes for the Group Procurement (GP) Department
Triodos Bank stands for innovative banking. Savings customers and investors know what happens to their money. For 30 years, the bank has been pursuing an active policy regarding the development of renewable energy sources (solar, wind and biomass), organic farming, art and culture, health care, nature and environmental protection and development cooperation.
For Group Procurement we are looking for an
intern (“meewerk stage”) for at least 24 hours a week.
The Group Procurement department deals with all procurement and supplier aspects of Triodos. Think of “make or buy” models, supplier selection, negotiations, contracting, building supplier relationships and establishing the groupwide procurement and outsourcing policy. We work in close cooperation with the responsible business lines where we jointly also look at the long-term aspects. We work for all parts of the group, in all countries: Belgium, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. So, a wide spectrum of activities and, if you ask us, we think we are the greatest department of Triodos!
Explanation Internship Assignment
The core of the assignment is to make the supporting processes more "lean & smart" to free up more time for the main processes. Think, for example, of reporting or risk assessment processes.
Based on brainstorming sessions, interviews and systematic research, you will investigate where the most improvement can be expected and then, together with colleagues from Group Procurement and the business, you will test the ideas and improve processes. This allows you to immediately see the effect of your work.
We give you a lot of room for your own input. We strongly welcome good ideas to radically improve processes!

Over onze organisatie
Follow your heart. Use your head.
Money always sets something into motion. At Triodos Bank, with our around 1,700 co-workers, we are making money work for positive societal change. Inspired by this mission, for more than 40 years we have been financing businesses, organisations and projects that seek to achieve positive change in societal, ecological and cultural domains. We are enabled to do so by savers and investors who wish to contribute to an honest, sustainable and humane society. We only invest in the real economy and do not trade in complex financial products. We furthermore make a point of knowing all the sustainable entrepreneurs that choose to bank with us.
People make the difference: at Triodos Bank we are very aware of this. Together we actively contribute to a sustainable society, and this obviously starts with our co-workers. Several regular moments of reflection and our systematic attention for personal development help ensure that we can make that difference together. We keep each other focused and are all dedicated to the Triodos Bank mission.
