International Finance Traineeship - HQ Zaandam

Start Traineeship - September 2026

What does our International Traineeship entail?  

Being active in Europe, the United States and Indonesia, our company’s challenges extend beyond country borders. We strongly believe that our future leaders should cultivate an international mindset. And that’s exactly what we aspire toward in our international traineeship – a three-year development program that offers you the opportunity to launch your career at Ahold Delhaize.

The program is built on three pillars: social and business development; technical and functional skills; and leadership development. Personal growth and development are key aspects of this program that prepare you to become a seasoned professional and our company’s future leader.

Why choose the International Finance Traineeship? 
Our financial household is the backbone of our organization. Our goal is rather straightforward: we take care of the finances – for the organization and our entire family of brands. We provide the financial expertise and valuable insights that drive the business performance at Ahold Delhaize and our brands all over the world. Our financial challenges do not stop at country borders. The International Finance Traineeship is a 3-year development program in which you get the opportunity to start your finance career at Ahold Delhaize. 

To become a seasoned finance professional, you will have at least three rotations across our financial department within or between our different brands and countries. You experience retail from the corporate side by having functional skills training and by working on finance related projects. Engaging in international assignments will prepare you in becoming Ahold Delhaize’s next future leader.

Are you eager to work with an energetic, diverse group of colleagues and do you take initiative in, responsibility for, and ownership of your work? Do you set the bar high and are you excited to start pioneering, and growing? And do you want to inspire people to eat and live better, for a healthier future for people and planet?
