Requirements

What we're looking for

You are following a higher professional education (HBO) program in the direction of marketing (management), graphic design, (digital) media, communication, or business administration.
You are looking for an internship starting in February 2027 for at least 5 months and 32 hours per week, whereby you can work at least 3 days per week.
You have an affinity with Marketing, Food, Convenience Retail and/or Foodservice.
You get enthusiastic about improving the customer experience in our stores.
You possess good communication skills, are stress-resistant, and can set priorities. Additionally, you like to go that extra mile and put a lot of energy into your work.
Experience with Canva, InDesign, Illustrator and/or Photoshop is a plus.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

Interning at NS means applying theory and knowledge directly in practice, taking steps in your personal development, and pushing boundaries while receiving good guidance from NS. But there is more. As an intern, you will receive:

An attractive internship allowance between 400 and 600 euros gross per month (depending on the number of days you intern per week).
Freedom to take on projects independently during your internship.
The possibility to sign up for JongNS, where you can get to know other young NS employees and the various departments that NS has.
The freedom to get a look behind the scenes at (online) NS events.

The role

That is why you want to do an internship as a retail commerce intern (marketing) at NS

What you'll do

You will be part of the Format Management & Marketing team and you will receive direct responsibility for your own projects. Additionally, you will learn a lot from various marketing aspects.

As an intern, you make a difference and see the direct result of your work on the shop floor. You have a hands-on mentality and are involved in, among other things, coordinating marketing and in-store materials. We can also make good use of your creativity for fun topical content on our digital screens during, for example, national holidays and events. So, one day you might be busy coordinating shop materials for Stationshuiskamer, through which you are in contact with category managers and our advertising agency, and later in the week you support an activation for Kiosk or coordinate content for our social channels! You will also occasionally need to organize a photoshoot.

You will work mostly with our three marketers. Depending on your studies, knowledge, and interest, there is room to join specific projects and we will think along with you about the right content for your internship. Are you following a design program, for example? Then we have plenty of fun and creative DTP work. Do you have more affinity with social media or do you prefer to think along about communication opportunities in the stores? Then there are also plenty of challenging projects!

How you'll work

You will be working for high-traffic locations, with more than 2.5 million visitors per day.
You will make an impact across no less than 149 points of sale, divided into 3 different formula concepts (Kiosk, Stationshuiskamer and Julia's) and 307 vending machines.

So? Are you enthusiastic?

Good to know:

A background check is part of the application procedure.
We believe it is important that everyone who works with us feels at home. You can see this in everything we do, and therefore also in our recruitment policy.
With this vacancy, we wish to recruit our new colleague ourselves. This is therefore NOT a call for acquisition.

In their own words

About the company & team

The office is located above the tracks of the busiest hub in the Netherlands, Utrecht Centraal. You couldn't be closer to the formulas and the business! You will be working in the Commerce department of NS Stations Retail, on the 7th floor. The Commerce department consists of 3 teams: Format management & Marketing, Business Development, and Category management, Purchasing & logistics. Retail commerce colleagues are both early and late birds; one colleague likes to start at 07:30 and another colleague arrives around 09:30. We work an average of 8 hours per day in the office. During the break, we enjoy our lunch together in the canteen or during a short walk around the station area and along the shopping streets and canals of Utrecht. Within the Commerce department, 21 colleagues work in various dynamic roles, from format manager to business developer. We expect you in the office about 3 days per week. On the other days, it is possible to work from home.
