• Analyse data to identify risks, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities
• Prepare clear, executive-level materials (presentations, dashboards, decision packs)

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with structured thinking
• Able to simplify complex topics into clear insights and actions

• Comfortable using PowerPoint, Excel, and data/visualisation tools
• Interested in operations, innovation, and technology-driven business topics
• Proactive, independent, and adaptable in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

We offer you:

• Paid holidays per internship term.
• The opportunity to buy Philips products at our Philips shop.
