Graduation Internship - Modelling and Implementing Use Case-Based Cloud Spend Insights

As an intern within the Data Differentiation Department (DDP), you will contribute directly to improving financial transparency and cloud cost insights within our data platform landscape. You will work together with colleagues from the DDP Tech Platform team to investigate how cloud spend can be allocated and analyzed at a more meaningful level: the Use Case level.

Within the department, cloud costs are currently mainly linked to the ServiceNow concept of Business Applications. While this provides financial insights at application level, it offers limited visibility into the detailed cloud resources and activities that actually drive costs. DDP works with the concept of a Use Case: a concrete business or data-related initiative for which teams use platform capabilities and data services.

As an intern, you will support the design and implementation of a new approach for allocating and reporting cloud costs based on Use Cases. During your internship, you will work on:

• Analyzing the current financial reporting and cloud spend setup.
• Understanding how the Use Case concept is applied within the department and across platform services.
• Designing a methodology for allocating cloud costs to Use Cases.
• Modelling the required data structures and allocation logic.
• Creating a data model, preferably implemented as a datamart or other persisted solution.
• Validating whether the proposed solution provides more actionable and transparent cloud spend insights.
• Exploring, as a stretch goal, possible solutions for allocating shared storage costs fairly across users or Use Cases.

During this internship, you will gain hands-on experience in cloud financial management, data modelling, analytics engineering, and platform governance. You will work closely with technical and business stakeholders and contribute to a practical solution that can improve financial decision-making within the department. The internship is both analytical and technical in nature and offers plenty of room for initiative and independent research.

What we offer you.

• An interesting and versatile graduation internship at the headquarters of Albert Heijn for 5/6 months starting in September 2026.

What you bring.

Especially if you bring analytical thinking and a strong interest in cloud technology and data modelling.

Additionally:

• You are currently pursuing a HBO or WO degree, preferably in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Management, Business Analytics, or a related field.
• You have affinity with cloud platforms, data modelling, and analytics.
• You are comfortable working with structured and complex datasets.
• Experience with Azure, Databricks, SQL, or financial reporting concepts is a strong plus.
