In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:  

Cummins has been an industry leader in the power space for decades, but our industry is changing. Many of the things that have driven success in the past will not be the same things that drive success in the future as the world moves to a more diversified and decarbonized energy landscape. This reality comes with considerable risk as well as unprecedented opportunity. 

If you join Cummins’ Corporate Strategy team, you will be at the forefront of Cummins’ transition to a clean energy future. As a Corporate Strategy Manager, you will work directly with senior leaders to develop recommendations for Cummins’ most pressing strategic priorities. You will have ownership initially over an individual workstream and eventually over entire projects with multiple opportunities to directly present your recommendations to Cummins leaders. Previous interns have evaluated growth opportunities in the clean energy space, assessed M&A options, developed supply chain risk mitigation strategies, and so much more.  

You will be joining a highly diverse team of similarly driven problem-solvers in the context of an amazing corporate culture that provides a supportive environment and values your work-life balance. Our team heavily focuses on your personal and professional development to propel you to an exciting and fulfilling career at Cummins. Corporate Strategy Managers have gone on to varied and fulfilling careers in Cummins as product managers, commercial leaders, general managers, and strategists.  

This is an exciting opportunity in Columbus, Indiana or Indianapolis, Indiana for a Corporate Strategy Manager. The role is hybrid, by which we mean that managers are expected to be present in both locations periodically for stakeholder and team engagement, and work from home is also possible. Interns are expected to be in an office location 3 days/week.
