Internship - Telesales

"Great atmosphere where I can learn and contribute, coming up with creative solutions to always put the customer first!"

The internship

At the HEINEKEN Head Office, we are building a new telesales capability to proactively engage customers and drive sales as part of our Route to Consumer strategy.

To support this development, we want to analyze telesales performance, identify the most important gaps against our targets, explore the potential causes, and recommend the capabilities and actions needed to improve performance.

The key question is:

Where are the biggest performance gaps in telesales, what could be driving them, and what capabilities and actions are needed to close these gaps and achieve our targets?

This internship focuses on using data to identify telesales performance gaps and understand their root causes.

You will:

• Analyze gaps between KPIs and targets and explore correlations.
• Compare performance with external benchmarks.
• Develop and scale the telesales dashboard.
• Establish a governance rhythm to embed KPI reviews.
• Turn data from multiple sources into actionable insights.

The dashboard will help Customer Care and Telesales teams track performance, spot trends, and improve commercial effectiveness.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, proactive, and analytical intern interested in data analytics, business intelligence, customer operations, and commercial performance.

Your new team and workplace

This internship is part of the Global Customer Care Team, a relatively new team focused on building the capabilities and tools that support customer care. Customers contact customer care to place orders, share feedback, ask questions, or raise complaints. Our goal is to win in the market while delivering a superior customer experience. This internship focuses on telesales, which sits within customer care, and involves close collaboration with Global Sales, particularly the Route to Consumer team.

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.

What a day in the internship could look like

"After grabbing a cup of coffee, you start your day with your colleagues. You work on your own projects independently in guidance of your supervisor, you connect with colleagues from different teams or the local operating companies and join various meetings throughout the day. Around lunchtime, you can enjoy lunch with colleagues or take a walk through the city of Amsterdam. In the afternoon, you continue working on ongoing projects, help organize events, or support activities within the team. There are also regular intern gatherings, networking opportunities, and other events, so there's always something happening alongside your day-to-day work."
