Requirements

What we're looking for

  • You write concisely, sharply, and in spoken language

  • You watch a lot of video yourself and know why someone keeps watching or scrolls past

  • You handle feedback well and rewrite without effort

  • You are available from 1 February 2027 up to and including 2 June 2027

  • You are an HBO or WO student; after your studies, you may potentially transition into a full-time role

Nice to have

  • Big plus: you have a portfolio with scripts or videos that you have written yourself

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

  • An internship allowance of €750 per month

  • A place at our Campus in the Van Nelle Fabriek, an open building with lots of light and a large garden

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner from our own chefs, using products from our own shop

  • 20% staff discount

  • A MacBook and Swapfiets

  • Unlimited Upfront products for personal use

  • A private gym and wellness area with ice baths, sauna, showers, and changing rooms

  • Weekly Hyrox classes and runs with the team

And perhaps the most beautiful: the freedom. You decide for yourself how to approach your work. Within your field, you are the expert, and that is how we treat you. We love to give you the space to come up with and implement your own ideas.

The role

Important: the internship period runs from 1 February 2027 up to and including 25 June 2027!

In a nutshell: we are looking for a creative person with a lot of humor, who can tell good stories and write scripts. We often tell our stories through video: on social media, in ads, and on our own channels. Good scripts are needed for that. As an intern, you will co-write the videos that show who we are.

Some weeks you will write ten hooks for one ad and test which one works best. Other weeks you will be on set and adapt your script on the spot because you see it can be done better. We are looking for someone who writes quickly, listens well, and does not fall in love with their own first version.

After your internship, you will have co-written videos that are actually watched, and there will be a fixed way of working in place that allows us to go from idea to script faster.

What you'll do

  • Writing scripts for social videos, ads, and our own channels

  • Coming up with and testing hooks and angles

  • Translating product information into a story that people want to watch

  • Thinking along about concepts together with the marketing team

  • Being present during recordings and adjusting scripts where necessary

  • Analyzing which videos work and why, and incorporating that into the next script
