You'll work together with the rest of the team, from time to time also with colleagues from Ahold Delhaize's 17 great local brands worldwide, and you will be responsible for your own projects. You will support the Ahold Delhaize Global Communications Team to strengthen Ahold Delhaize's Leadership & Strategy Communications, working on:
