Internship - Global Procurement Digital & Tech

"I came in expecting to learn - I left having actually delivered. From tracking millions in savings to co-pilot my first negotiation solo, this wasn't a support role. It was real accountability from day one". - former intern of the team

The internship

Are you someone who gets genuinely excited by a complex problem — and won't stop until you've cracked it? This internship sits at the heart of HEINEKEN's Global Procurement team, embedded in a high-stakes Technology & Transformation programme that is reshaping how one of the world's most iconic companies buys, builds and operates its digital landscape. You won't be taking notes in the background. You'll be in the room — analysing, challenging, influencing, and delivering. If you're analytically sharp, data driven, naturally curious, and the kind of person who goes beyond what's asked, this is where you belong.

What does this Internship entails ?

• Track and report team performance across Cost and Cash KPIs, turning data into actionable insights that drive real commercial decisions
• Support Category Managers in the development and execution of strategic sourcing projects across Technology & Transformation categories
• Work alongside Regional D&T teams to identify and unlock new procurement opportunities across markets
• Take ownership of negotiations — from preparation to execution — with the possibility of running your own deals independently as you grow into the role
• Engage senior stakeholders across functions and geographies, building the influence and communication skills that separate good procurement professionals from great ones

Your new team and workplace

At HEINEKEN Global Procurement, the Digital & Technology (D&T) Category sits at the core of the company’s transformation agenda—managing how we source and partner for everything from IT infrastructure to consulting. We operate in a fast-paced, global environment, balancing cost, innovation, and risk across a complex supplier landscape. You’ll join a small, high-impact team working directly with senior stakeholders and leading vendors to drive measurable business outcomes. What makes this internship unique is the level of ownership: from day one, you contribute to real projects, real negotiations, and real value delivery.

During your internship, you’ll have every opportunity to get to know HEINEKEN as an organization, not just within your own team, but across departments. We trust and empower you to work with an entrepreneurial mindset. At HEINEKEN, we love bringing the outside world in and welcome fresh, new ideas with open arms. Of course, we’ll make sure you get the guidance that suits you.

• You’re analytical and eager to learn by doing
