Your new team and workplace

The Heineken Experience is a brand experience located in Heineken®’s oldest brewery, in the heart of Amsterdam. As part of the Sales, Marketing & Retail team, you will contribute to attracting visitors, strengthening partnerships and supporting the commercial performance of the Heineken Experience. We are an international, dynamic and enthusiastic team that values collaboration, ownership and continuous improvement.

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.

What a day in the internship could look like

You will start the day with a coffee and a quick catch-up with the team. From there it changes day to day. Some mornings you will be out at a partner meeting, other days it is our weekly work in progress meeting, and on Fridays we have our Friday Feelies. Otherwise, it is time to get through your inbox and projects. We have lunch together in the Heineken canteen. Afternoons are much the same mix of meetings, projects and the sales inbox, and every now and then you will come along to an event. You will learn a lot on the job, and you will get real responsibility early on, whether that is looking after partnerships, working on new revenue streams or pitching your own ideas.
