Stage: Events

• You enjoy organizing things and maintain an overview when it gets busy

• When faced with a problem, you look for the solution first

• You dare to negotiate and look critically at costs

• You are flexibly deployable, including on weekends and early in the morning

• You are an HBO or WO student, and after your internship, you will have finished your studies and can potentially transition into a full-time role

• Big plus: you have previously organized an event on a large scale

• An internship allowance of €750 per month

• A place at our Campus in the Van Nelle Fabriek, an open building with plenty 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.

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

In the coming year, we are going to organize more of our own events. Think of a Last Man Standing 2.0 and perhaps even our own marathon. Additionally, we are scheduled to be sponsors at about 10 marathons, and in 2027, we will be entering the festival world with our large range of Ready-2-drinks. As an intern in the events team, you will help set all of this up.

Some weeks you will be behind your laptop recruiting crew and comparing quotes side by side. Other weeks you will be out on a course early in the morning, solving things on the spot when they don't go as planned. This requires someone who loves organizing and isn't intimidated by a long day.

After your internship, you will have contributed to the professionalization and expansion of Upfront events, leaving a solid foundation upon which we can continue to build.

• Recruiting and scheduling crew for our events

• Executing operations on the day itself, from setup to teardown

• Negotiating with suppliers and partners to ensure we stay within budget

• Thinking along about the content of events: concept, activations, and experience

• Switching gears quickly and finding solutions when things go differently on the day

• Setting up fixed working methods, so that every subsequent event is easier to manage
