Your new job and workplace.
As a Data Analyst Intern in the Sourcing Intelligence team, you will intern in the commercial heart of Albert Heijn, namely in the procurement department.

You do this by developing dynamic models that convert data into insights and by presenting those insights. Additionally, you perform thorough analyses for specific projects and act as the link with Tech to have advanced software developed.

Your new workplace is located partly at our bustling head office in Zaandam, within the Sourcing Excellence department. On average, we work in the office half the week and from home the other half.

• You visualize that data in dashboards, so that the buyers obtain the data in an easily interpretable way. Ultimately, you are also able to provide action-oriented advice based on the dashboards.
• You join negotiations with suppliers to present your insights.
• You are given the freedom to introduce and develop new ideas in the field of data, AI, and analytics, to further help our procurement organization.
• You work closely with analysts from other departments within Ahold Delhaize and you exchange knowledge daily.
• You are able to see opportunities yourself and start and realize new projects.

In this position, you work 32-40 hours per week, partly from our head office in Zaandam and partly from home.

This is what we offer you.

• You learn what impact climate, geopolitics, and economy have on supermarket prices.
• You join integral projects within the commercial department of AH.
