Let’s talk about the role!

Are you passionate about Retail Technology and eager to explore how GenAI is transforming the consumer and store experience?

As a Digital Retail Technology & Gen AI Intern, you will support the design, analysis and evolution of digital retail solutions across stores and omnichannel platforms, with a focus also on GenAI use cases, data‑driven decision making, and retail technology innovation. You will collaborate with cross‑functional teams to translate business needs into scalable, technology‑enabled solutions that enhance efficiency and customer experience.

Here’s what you’ll be responsible for:

Support the analysis and documentation of retail technology processes (e.g. store systems, Order Management Systems, clienteling, order fulfilment, and omnichannel flows)
Contribute to GenAI initiatives, including use‑case discovery, functional analysis, prompt experimentation, and performance evaluation
Assist in translating business and user needs into functional requirements and solution concepts
Collaborate with product owners, engineers, data teams, and business stakeholders across EMEA
Contribute to data analysis, dashboards, or insight generation to support informed decision‑making
Support pilot initiatives, proof‑of‑concepts, and continuous improvement activities related to digital retail platforms

How you will make a difference

Skills that will make you succeed:

Strong interest in Retail Technology, Digital Commerce, and Store Technologies
Solid understanding of Generative AI concepts (e.g. LLMs, prompt engineering, AI‑assisted analytics) and curiosity to apply them in a business context
Analytical mindset with the ability to structure problems and interpret data
Familiarity with digital platforms, data flows, APIs, or cloud‑based systems is a plus
Ability to collaborate effectively in cross‑functional and international teams
Proactive attitude, learning mindset, and willingness to experiment and iterate
Fluency in English (written and spoken); knowledge of additional languages is a plus
A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, Business Technology, or similar is nice to have, but we are most interested in your curiosity, problem‑solving skills, and passion for retail innovation.

What’s in it for you

In this role, you will:

Gain hands‑on exposure to enterprise retail technology platforms used by global brands
Learn how GenAI is applied in real business scenarios, from process optimization to decision support
Work within an Agile, product‑driven environment, learning modern digital delivery practices
Collaborate with experienced product, technology, and business professionals across EMEA
Build a strong foundation for a career in Digital Retail, Product Management, or AI‑enabled Transformation

By the end of the internship, you will have:

A practical understanding of retail digital ecosystems
Experience contributing to GenAI‑enabled initiatives
Increased confidence working with stakeholders, data, and technology solutions in a global organization

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:

Participate in dedicated skill-building workshops
Collaborate on an internal consulting group project
Gain real insights about our brands by spending one day of work in-store
Connect through 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
Subsidized canteen, as well as break out areas offering complimentary drinks
