We believe great ideas can come from anywhere, and often, they come from you. As an intern at JD.com, you’ll work on meaningful, hands‑on projects, learn from talented colleagues across our global network, and grow in a supportive, fast‑paced environment designed for development. With competitive compensation, great office locations, and a people‑first culture that champions continuous learning, you’ll have everything you need to thrive and kick‑start your career.

About Your Program

You’ll be joining the JD Young (JDY) Internship Program, designed to give early‑career talent hands‑on exposure to real projects, real responsibilities, and real growth. Over 3–6 months, you’ll work alongside experienced teams, build fundamental skills, and gain insights into how a global business operates.

Alongside mentorship and learning experiences your day to day role will cover responsibilities such as:

• Support the Compliance team in translating regulatory requirements (food and non-food) into practical policies, processes and governance documentation.
• Assist with research into local regulatory frameworks and help maintain trackers for authority contacts, product categories and compliance obligations.
• Help prepare materials for risk assessments, compliance reviews and stakeholder reporting.
• Support the coordination of training and awareness content aimed at building a compliance‑first culture across the business.
• Assist with organising and maintaining governance documentation, SOPs and internal control records.
• Contribute to ad hoc projects supporting the wider build‑out of the Legal and Compliance function, including process improvement and administrative support.

About You

• Currently studying towards, or recently completed, a degree in Law, Business, Regulatory Affairs, or a related field.
• Strong research and analytical skills, with the ability to summarise complex information clearly.
• Highly organised, detail‑oriented, and comfortable working with trackers, documents and reporting tools.
• Proactive and curious, comfortable asking questions in a fast‑paced environment where not every answer is immediately clear.
• Good written and verbal communication skills; able to work well with cross‑functional stakeholders (Legal, Operations, Commercial).
• Prior internship or coursework exposure to compliance, e‑commerce, or supply chain is a plus but not required.
