Your new job and workplace.
As a Commercial intern, you will work closely with the Category Manager and support the optimization of the assortment in the store.
You will make a direct contribution to improving our product categories, where you will learn how commerce, marketing, and data analysis come together in the world of food retail, working on things such as:

• Helping to guide the development or improvement of our private label products from A to Z, up to the introduction of new brand-name products.
• Managing and coordinating with various parties and suppliers.
• Helping to create a good promotional planning and performing analyses on it.
• Creating assortment and competitor analyses.
• Contributing to a category-specific project, depending on your own interests or learning goals.

You will learn a lot about the different sides of Commercial, and no two days will be the same during your internship. You will not only learn a lot about the dynamics within a category, but you will also carry many responsibilities yourself. Think of coordinating the development process of new products, or collaborating on projects in the field of sustainability, product quality, or shelf layout.

You will also collaborate extensively with many different parties, such as external suppliers. Good collaboration with colleagues from, for example, purchasing, marketing & communication, and promotion is also important during your internship. You will work together according to a tight schedule and work meticulously. At the same time, there is also room to take on things yourself; we only appreciate your initiative. Together, we will ensure that your internship is versatile and varied, so that you learn everything about the different aspects within Albert Heijn.

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

This is what you bring.
With our colleagues, we fill more than six million plates every evening.
And if it were up to us, we will soon do that together with you as our new intern.
Especially if you bring your energy and innovative perspective to Albert Heijn.
