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.

Are you ready to dive into the dynamic world of retail marketing? Welcome to the International Retail Media Traineeship, a cutting-edge component of our Traineeship program that offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of omnichannel campaigns for leading brands. Retail Media within our organization represents an ambitious and innovative department dedicated to driving the development, execution, and sale of impactful campaigns across our retail channels, including Albert Heijn, Etos, Gall & Gall, and Bol.

As a participant in the International Retail Media Traineeship, you will join a passionate team that plays a pivotal role in enhancing brand visibility and reaching millions of consumers. This track is tailored to equip you with the skills and experience necessary to excel as a team member, where you’ll work alongside seasoned professionals to create and implement strategic media plans. By leveraging both online and offline channels, you’ll help our suppliers maximize their marketing reach and achieve ambitious goals.

This is your chance to kickstart your career in retail marketing, make a tangible impact from day one, and contribute to the growth and success of our top-tier brands.
