We're looking for a proactive and creative intern to join our Community Engagement function in the HQ team. This role is perfect for someone eager to learn, enjoys creating engaging content, and has a strong interest in how AI can enhance internal communications, collaboration, and learning.
About Us
We are ING, a global financial institution with a strong European base, committed to providing outstanding banking services. Our Community Engagement team is part of the Global Brand, Marketing and Communications department, focusing on boosting engagement within our organisation through innovative tactics, internal events (off-sites, virtual global team sessions), learning and development programmes (certified trainings, masterclasses), and more.
In addition, we are actively driving the adoption of AI tools (such as Microsoft Copilot) across our global community, enhancing productivity, collaboration, and learning experiences.

• Supporting the organisation of internal events, both in-person and online, including logistics and coordination.
• Managing and updating distribution lists for internal communications.
• Assisting in designing and sending out internal newsletters to keep the team informed and engaged.
• Engaging with our community to ensure an active and connected environment.
• Gathering and reporting on basic engagement metrics to help optimise community activities.

• Supporting initiatives that drive the adoption of AI tools (e.g., Microsoft Copilot) across the department.
• Collaborating on internal campaigns or communications that promote AI awareness and best practices.
• Helping to track progress and engagement within the department-wide AI learning and educational programmes.

• Supporting the organisation of AI-related sessions, demos, or knowledge-sharing moments.

• Have an interest in community engagement, internal communications, and/or events.

Rewards and benefits
This is a great opportunity to train with highly skilled people who are experts in their field. You'll do a lot and learn a lot – not only about your specialist area and the bank, but also about yourself and whether this type of environment is right for you.
