Intern Global Strategy

🚀 Ready to make a global impact at the heart of DEPT®?

We are looking for a Global Strategic Projects Intern to join our crew in Amsterdam & Rotterdam!

Our team operates at the core of DEPT® Global, driving the foundational initiatives that keep our organization running, evolving, and staying ahead of the curve.

Being a Strategic Projects intern isn’t your typical, one-size-fits-all role. You will become a vital part of our team working on cross-functional strategic initiatives, while also being given the unique opportunity to dedicate part of your time to a core pillar of DEPT®’s internal operations (such as Finance, Operations, Commercial or Impact). You get to align your work with your strengths, and you'll be trusted as a full team member from day one.

Why join us?

Your day-to-day will involve close collaboration on a variety of initiatives. You might find yourself helping to map out global process improvements, rolling out internal innovations (like AI-driven efficiency tools), or supporting company-wide strategic initiatives.

This dynamic setup gives you a front-row seat to how a leading global digital agency operates. You get the best of both worlds: the chance to specialize in a core operational area while building a versatile skill set.

If you are approaching the later stages of your studies, and want to work with brilliant minds across the business and leave a tangible mark on DEPT® Global, we want you on our team. Come help us build the agency of the future! ✨

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Fuel organizational evolution: Play an active role in delivering DEPT®’s key internal initiatives, from process improvements to launching new workflows, automation, and AI-assisted tools.
• Drive projects from start to finish: Take real ownership of ongoing initiatives, guiding them from initial research and coordination all the way through to successful execution.
• Navigate a dynamic, dual-focus role: Balance your time between your dedicated department and cross-functional global projects, managing your priorities like a pro.
• Translate strategy into action: Craft clear, compelling deliverables (like presentations and project roadmaps) and collaborate with diverse teams across the business to keep momentum going and get things done.

WHAT YOU BRING

• A fast-paced mindset: You genuinely thrive in a dynamic, rapidly evolving, and highly collaborative environment where no two days are exactly the same.
• Curiosity and drive: You bring a natural eagerness to learn, a growth-oriented mindset, and a habit of looking for ways to improve how things get done as you continuously develop your skill set.
• Masterful juggling skills: You can effectively manage multiple tasks, balancing quick daily wins with long-term strategic projects, all while keeping up with your studies.
• Proactive ownership: You take the lead on open-ended work, manage timelines, and deliver high-quality output with pride and attention to detail.
• Team player: You collaborate generously and step in to support teammates when you have capacity, helping the team deliver on time and at a high standard.
• A structural approach: You have a knack for organizing complex information clearly and translating big ideas into sharp, digestible presentations and documentation.
• Strong communication: You express yourself clearly, confidently, and collaboratively, with high working proficiency in English.
• The right availability: You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s (penultimate or final year) or Master’s program at a Dutch university, and you are ready to join us for a 6-month adventure starting in September 2026 or February 2027 for 32–40 hours per week.

WE OFFER

• Hybrid & flexible working: Enjoy the best of both worlds with a flexible setup, spending one day a week in our vibrant Amsterdam office, another in Rotterdam, and the rest with the option of working remotely, giving you the freedom to balance your internship alongside your studies.
• A culture of doing good: Join a team that genuinely cares about its impact. We are proud to be a Certified B Corp® since 2021 and to have been officially named a Great Place To Work in 2023 in the Netherlands!
• Global exposure & team spirit: Get an insider's view of how a top-tier global digital agency operates. You’ll collaborate across diverse teams and projects in a culture that always takes the time to celebrate our shared successes.
• Real growth & development: Level up with hands-on experience. As you build trust, you'll earn increasing ownership, getting a true "behind the scenes" look at how a dynamic global business operates as you develop a versatile skill set.
• Fair compensation: You will receive a monthly internship allowance of €600 (based on a 40-hour work week).
• Stress-free travel: We’ve got your intercity commute covered with a fully provided NS Business Card.
