Work along internship: Communication & User Experience Internship

Are you up for a challenge? Help us get our internal communications about the ING Digital Workplace future-proof!  

Our challenges: product introductions & user adoption of tools 
An important task for Workplace Service is the introduction of new digital workplace tools & features and migrating our services to new, improved versions for all global ING colleagues. We are looking for an intern who can help us set up end user friendly communications for these migrations and introductions. We also help our global colleagues to optimise their way of working with the (Microsoft 365) tools. One way to do this is to create snackable, short content to get their interest. 

We are constantly evolving our services and products based on employees’ needs. We set up user research to understand their needs and develop our services based on that. In this role, you might be conducting concept and usability testing and gather feedback and develop wireframes and prototypes around their needs.  

During your internship you’ll help us create marketing videos, design board presentations, newsletters, design promotion materials, online news items on our SharePoint site(s) and other content.  

Who are we?  
We are Workplace Services (WPS): the department that’s responsible for the delivery of IT-related workplace products and services to 54.000 ING colleagues in 40 countries. Think computers, Wi-Fi, software, telephones, and of course the support for all of these.  

Are we looking for you? 
We are looking for a communications intern: 

• with knowledge about how to set up and manage an online community;  




• who knows that structure is as important as content; 




• who is creative in finding out and testing new ways to help activate and engage our colleagues; 




• who likes to think about the best way to get a message across and who likes to write (and visualise) fun, short and desirable content.  




• who can develop wireframes and prototypes to visualize and test design concepts 

Are you that proactive marketing or communications intern who wants to learn the ropes in a diverse and dynamic setting?  

If so, you will be part of our Workplace Services team for at least six months, starting in 2026.   

There will be lots of opportunities to try out new ideas! You will help improve our end user communications and make our channels and activities future-proof. Workplace Services is a uniquely pivotal ING department where no day is the same. 

Examples of what you would be doing

• Produce and edit videos and motion graphics. 




• Design beautiful, high‑quality PowerPoint presentations and visual storytelling materials. 




• Improve engagement for the My Workplace community on Viva Engage.
