About the job
Are you passionate about data analysis, and innovation? Do you want to experience work in a truly international organization? Do you have an analytical mindset and great communicator? Then apply now and become our new Global Project Portfolio Management Intern starting in January 2025 at our global Danone office in Hoofddorp (outside Amsterdam), NL!
As a Pipeline Management Intern, you will have the exciting opportunity to join a highly motivated, international team driving innovation in Specialized Nutrition categories (Early life Nutrition and Medical Nutrition). You'll be leveraging our web-based portfolio and project management system to support pipeline health check reporting, analysis, and communication to relevant governance bodies, project teams, and the broader organization.
Throughout this internship, you will have to prove yourself able to adapt to a dynamic, global marketing environment and appear as a key business partner to the team.
You will be part of the Global IRO (Innovation and Realization Office) Pipeline Management team, a team connected to many functions of the organization. You will be supervised and report to the Global IRO Pipeline Manager. You will interact with different departments and gain experience at a global scope in a multicultural company.
Curious about your main tasks and responsibilities? You will:
- Coordinate that newly initiated projects for expanding existing SKUs to new regions (Roll-out Projects) fully comply with Danone's process guidelines:
- Guide Country Business Units to ensure data integrity and project submission completeness via our web-based project management system.
- Guarantee that approval steps are executed on time.
- Manage Power BI reporting of Roll-out projects for category pipeline reviews
- Assist in preparing and analyzing our annual intake of roughly 300 innovation projects. You will play a pivotal role in supporting the global pipeline team by consolidating inputs into resource check files, combining data outputs, and sharing insightful analyses with key stakeholders.
- Manage pipeline and project status/metrics reporting, communicating with business teams across the organization.
- Help generate comprehensive pipeline reports using our current digital tools.
- In addition, you will audit and maintain the data integrity of our web-based portfolio management system:
- Collaborate closely with the IRO Team (Directors, Project Leaders, Pipeline Manager, and Data Manager) to ensure the accuracy of program and project-related information (Programme, Project, Recipe, business case, stage gates, key milestones, Project timelines, risks, issues, resources, etc.).
- Work in partnership with category teams and regions/business units to ensure all necessary information at each stage gate is accurately reflected in the Portfolio Management System
