Basic Purpose

Enterprise Supply Operations & Logistics exists to provide comprehensive solutions. Our services fulfill a range of simple to complex needs, and involve the coordination of various people, consumables, assets, and transportation. As an employee-powered team, we drive forward a service strategy involving warehousing & distribution, shipping & receiving, document storage & disposal, physical property & assets control, and branch & campus support services. We are always looking for member-driven insights to ensure the success of the team members we support.

Navy Federal Membership is growing rapidly, and the field of supply chain logistics is continuously evolving. We keep members and team members at the forefront of everything we do, taking advantage of data insights, and industry best practices to stay agile and continuously improve processes to ensure an optimal experience.

The Summer Intern opportunity will take a journey to explore relevant Supply Operations & Logistics processes that can be leveraged into research and analysis which will culminate in a value-added project among other things. The role will begin with a robust orientation of the operations followed by a soft integration into the requisition processes where knowledge and understanding of fundamental processes can be established. Building from there, the functions of inventory control will be explored to arrive at a full understanding of the supply chain scope.
