Internship - E&W Internal Communications & Engagement

“Creating engaging stories that connect people and bring sustainability to life across HEINEKEN’s operations.”

HEINEKEN is committed to driving sustainability and operational excellence across its global breweries. To support this ambition, we are looking for a creative and motivated intern to strengthen our internal communications and employee engagement within the Global Sustainable Production team.

In this internship, you will help build and maintain clear and engaging communication channels — including creating digital content, managing internal platforms like SharePoint and Workvivo, and enhancing awareness of key sustainability programs such as our Race to Reduce initiative.

In this internship you will be responsible for:

• Supporting internal communications, employee engagement, and change management initiatives.
• Developing people-focused digital content — including graphics, videos, and visuals — to showcase how Global Sustainable Production supports breweries in achieving sustainability goals.
• Assisting in the creation of other graphic materials, ensuring alignment with HEINEKEN’s visual identity.
• Helping manage the communication calendar and maintaining digital channels such as Workvivo and SharePoint, as well as supporting Energy & Water community webinars.
• Creating a clear, well-structured SharePoint page to enable easy access to key content, organized by area.
• Enhancing internal storytelling around the Race to Reduce program, helping to inform, inspire, and engage employees to participate.
• Collaborating with the Global Sustainable Production teams to ensure consistency and quality of content.

During your internship you will get the opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as a company, also outside your department. We give you trust and freedom, so you can work like a real entrepreneur. We like to bring the outside world inside and therefore we embrace new, fresh ideas with enthusiasm. Of course, always with the guidance that is right for you.
