Intern, Global External Operations Digital Strategy - AI
About The Position
The BioMarin Summer Internship Program will enable students to gain valuable experience and knowledge of the processes and systems within BioMarin, while gaining an insight into the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. Over the course of 10 - 12 weeks our interns gain industry experience while working alongside our talented team on meaningful projects. Global External Operations (GEO) manages BioMarin's worldwide network of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs), ensuring timely delivery of high-quality clinical and commercial products. We're a team focused on scaling manufacturing capabilities, maintaining regulatory compliance, and driving operational excellence with our external partners. We're exploring how AI can transform contract manufacturing operations and we want you to help us figure it out. This isn't a role where the work is already defined; you'll help shape it. You'll work with our in-house team on identifying where AI can add the most value across our CMO network, then build prototypes to test those ideas. Potential focus areas include document processing, predictive analytics, and knowledge management.
