Internship - Digital & Technology

Join HEINEKEN’s Global Digital & Technology team and work at the intersection of Digital, Innovation, and Engineering.

“My internship at Heineken introduced me to an exciting and dynamic company that, as someone who had no previous experience in the beverage market, truly is a 160 year old startup. I can say that innovation and technology will be part of your world, 24/7, and the possibilities for learning and development are endless. It all depends on your curiosity and proactiveness!”
