Store Tech Intern – RFID & retail innovation

• 💸 An internship allowance of €400 per month based on 35 hours per week.
• 🎯 The chance to build a valuable network by working with colleagues from Store Tech, Digital, and the store organization. A great foundation for your further career and perhaps even your first job after your studies.
• 🛍️ Inspiration sessions, events, and gatherings with other interns, so you can share experiences and make new contacts within HEMA.
• 🧓 Personal guidance from an enthusiastic and accessible team that helps you get the most out of your internship and achieve your learning goals.
• 📈 A challenging research internship where your analyses and advice contribute directly to strategic choices regarding RFID within our stores.
• 🚀 The possibility to connect research with practice: you work on technology that is actually used and get the chance to test your ideas and insights in practice.
• 🤝 A unique insight into retail, technology, data, and product management, where you collaborate with different teams and stakeholders within HEMA.
• 🎡 15% staff discount on all your HEMA favorites.

The best part? At the end of your internship, you will not only have investigated everything that is possible with RFID, but you will also have helped determine which applications truly help HEMA further and which do not. Your work therefore has a visible impact on the stores of tomorrow.

During this internship, you will become part of the Store Tech team within Digital and investigate how we can use RFID technology even more smartly within our stores. In doing so, you will not only look at the technology, but especially at the added value for the store organization. Because a solution may work excellently from a technical standpoint, but if it creates extra work for our colleagues in the store, it might not be the right choice. You will therefore investigate which new RFID applications truly contribute to better store processes. You will look at the impact on efficiency, ease of use, time savings, and operational processes. In addition, you will collect and analyze data, visit stores, and engage in conversation with colleagues to understand what works in practice and where the opportunities lie. Specifically, you will be involved in:

At the same time, you will get a unique look behind the scenes of digital product development within HEMA. You will work closely with Product Owners, Application Owners, and other specialists and learn how needs from stores are translated into digital solutions. You will see how priorities are determined, how collaboration works with various stakeholders and suppliers, how pilots are assessed, and how data is used to substantiate choices. In this way, you will not only contribute to the future of RFID within HEMA, but also discover what roles such as Product Owner, Application Owner, Business Analyst, or roles within digital innovation look like in practice.

At HEMA, you work in an environment where people truly collaborate. You are given the space to develop yourself, receive good guidance, and get feedback that is truly useful to you. Whether you are just starting out or already have experience: you are welcome with us. Additionally, at HEMA you receive:

At HEMA, we work with over 17,000 colleagues toward a better everyday life in a more beautiful world. With products that are more practical, more beautiful, better, and also last longer. And with colorful stores in villages, cities, and online. We are proud of how far we have come, but we are not yet satisfied. HEMA is truly HEMA again and ready for the next step. Our ambition? To become the leader in a challenging market. We do that together, as one team, with proud colleagues, entrepreneurs, and partners. By playing to win. That means being curious, seizing opportunities, collaborating with pleasure, and always aiming for the best result. You dare to speak your mind and challenge others to become better together. With your unique contribution, you can help build the HEMA of tomorrow. You make HEMA real. Will you join us?

• Investigating new RFID use cases and innovative applications.
• Analyzing store processes to discover where RFID can make processes smarter, faster, or simpler.
• Collecting and interpreting data to make the actual value of an application transparent.
• Mapping out the required investment in time, resources, and activities for stores.
• Visiting stores and gathering feedback from colleagues to incorporate practical experiences into your research.
• Supporting the preparation, execution, and evaluation of pilots.
• Investigating whether new applications can simplify, replace, or even make existing processes obsolete.
• Translating your findings into clear advice and substantiated recommendations for Store Tech.
• The central question during your internship is: which new RFID applications add sufficient value to be deployed broadly within HEMA stores? To answer that question, you will constantly look critically at topics such as yield, time savings, impact on store employees, and the possibility of organizing existing tasks more smartly.
