Let’s talk about the role!

Are you ready to help shape how runners across EMEA discover and shop the world’s most innovative running footwear?

Altra is looking for an Ecommerce Merchandising Intern to join our Digital team in Stabio and support the growth of one of the fastest‑rising brands in the running industry.

Support the day‑to‑day operations of Altra’s EMEA ecommerce business by ensuring the right products are visible, discoverable, and performing online.
You will analyse performance, enhance product presentation, optimise site experience, and help deliver a best‑in‑class online journey for runners across the region.

Get ready to make an impact! As an eCommerce Merchandising Intern, you will:

Support the setup and optimisation of product assortments across EMEA, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
Monitor online product performance (sell through, conversion, availability) and provide actionable insights to the team.
Manage onsite merchandising including category updates, product ranking, search optimisation and homepage updates.
Coordinate product content needs with Brand, Studio and Copy teams to ensure premium product presentation.
Assist with go‑to‑market readiness, including seasonal launches and key commercial moments.
Contribute to broader ecommerce projects, cross-functional initiatives and digital experience improvements.

How you will make a difference

You are fluent in English with strong written and verbal communication.
You are genuinely curious about ecommerce, consumer journeys and digital performance.
You have strong analytical thinking and enjoy working with numbers, trends, and dashboards.
You are organised, detail-oriented and reliable — product accuracy really matters to you.
You are proactive, collaborative and comfortable working with different stakeholders.
You bring energy, positivity and a willingness to learn in a fast-growing brand environment.

A relevant degree (Business, Marketing, Digital, Data, Fashion Management) is nice to have, but we care more about your mindset, ambition, and eagerness to learn.

What’s in it for you

In this internship, you will:

Learn how an ecommerce business operates across multiple markets.
Develop strong merchandising skills used across the digital retail industry.
Become fluent in performance analysis, reporting, KPI interpretation and trading decisions.
Understand how content, product, operations, and marketing integrate to drive online results.
Gain hands-on experience working with enterprise ecommerce platforms and analytics tools.
Build relationships across an international, cross‑functional environment.

At the end of your internship, you will have a strong understanding of ecommerce merchandising fundamentals, digital trading best practices, and real experience contributing to the growth of a premium performance running brand.

The VF EMEA Internship Program is a 12-month journey designed to develop and empower emerging talents at the start of their careers. We are committed to unleashing your potential, so you can expect a structured learning path and rich hands-on experience, including:

Dedicated skill-building workshops & internal consulting group project
One day of work in-store gaining real insights about our brands
Networking opportunities with peers and senior leadership

We cannot grant that the internship will lead you to a contract afterwards, but thanks to the value of the experience most of our interns are staying in the company after the internship period.

Since we want you to focus on what matters, we offer comprehensive benefits that encourage mental, physical, and financial well-being. You will enjoy:

Hybrid working policy
50% discount on VF brands
On site gym, offering health and well-being initiatives
