Your new team and workplace

You will join the Digital Enablement Competence Center within the Digital & Technology (D&T) department. It’s a relatively new team, focused on helping the organization get the most value out of digital products and ways of working.

The team consists of a diverse group of specialists collaborating across portfolios and functions, supporting teams on their initiatives and accelerate their impact. It’s a dynamic, international environment where you will gain exposure to different parts of the organization while contributing to real initiatives.

During your internship, you’ll have every opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as an organization, not just within your own team, but across departments. We trust and empower you to work with an entrepreneurial mindset. At HEINEKEN, we love bringing the outside world in and welcome fresh, new ideas with open arms. Of course, we’ll make sure you get the guidance that suits you.

• You have a strong interest in communication, change management, and improving ways of working within organizations
• You enjoy translating complex ideas into clear, engaging messages tailored to different audiences
• You are curious about how change is experienced by people and how communication can support adoption and engagement
