Who is Prosus?

At Prosus, we improve everyday life for billions across the globe through cutting-edge technology. As a leading global consumer internet group and one of the world's largest technology investors, we nurture and support industry-leading businesses that empower individuals and enrich communities. Guided by our core values, Innovation, Results, People, Impact, and Entrepreneurship, we push boundaries, encourage collaboration, and create an environment where diversity and inclusion thrive. We value curiosity, ownership, and resilience. We hire people who take initiative, embrace change, and bring fresh perspectives to everything they do.

We are proud to lead the charge in AI innovation, making significant strides in this transformative field. With operations in over 100 countries, our extensive global portfolio includes over 90 companies. We drive progress in sectors such as online classifieds, food delivery, payments & fintech, and e-commerce , consistently pushing the boundaries of technology. Our brands, like iFood, OLX, PayU, EMAG, and Takealot, are changing the way people live and work.

The Opportunity

Join our global Sustainability team in Amsterdam for a 6-month internship and help drive real, measurable impact. Given the scale of our business and our tech-driven portfolio, your day-to-day work will be as dynamic as it is diverse. One week you might be supporting social impact projects in Brazil, and the next, diving into fleet electrification strategies or organizing team workshops.

Working closely with our 9-person Sustainability team, this role is ideal for someone passionate about ESG and eager to learn how a digital platform company scales sustainability. We need a fast learner who thrives on variety and brings sharp execution to every task—whether that means double-checking complex data sets, building compelling presentations, coordinating global events, or keeping key initiatives on track.

Our sustainability agenda covers a broad and ambitious palette. From decarbonizing last-mile deliveries and expanding fleet electrification, to supporting initiatives to positively impact the lives of 50,000 people across our communities. We always leverage data-driven insights and AI to power our ESG goals.

If you bring an eye for detail, a hands-on "can-do" attitude, and excitement for fast-paced, collaborative environments, you will thrive here.
