Descripción del empleo

Are you interested in working behind the scenes of events and gaining experience in event management, production, and marketing? Then this internship might be perfect for you.

At Hemkade, you’ll get the opportunity to be involved in different parts of the organization. Part of the week you’ll support operational and production-related tasks surrounding events, while the other part focuses more on marketing, content, and creative projects.

WHY IS THIS INTERNSHIP SO EXCITING?

Since late 2026, Hemkade has also been organizing its own events, so we’re actively exploring which approach delivers the best results, and as an intern, you’ll have the chance to contribute your ideas to this process. This means: learning a lot, testing ideas, thinking creatively, and truly having the space to bring your own ideas to life.

You’ll work in a small and close-knit team, which means communication is fast and personal. No endless meetings or needing approval from ten different people: good ideas can actually be executed here.

Hemkade is a family-run company with a strong community and an informal working atmosphere. You’ll gain hands‑on experience within a dynamic event venue where no two days are the same.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

During this internship, you’ll support different teams within Hemkade with a variety of tasks, including:

• Supporting the preparation and production of events
• Assisting during production build‑up and breakdown
• Supporting operational and hospitality‑related tasks during events
• Maintaining contact with suppliers, creative partners, and activations
• Supporting social media, content, and marketing projects
• Editing TikToks, Reels, and short‑form videos
• Organizing and managing deliverables from the media team
• Answering FAQs and visitor questions
• Supporting lost & found and general visitor service
• Managing stock and inventory, including post‑event inventory counts
• Brainstorming about new concepts, events, and campaigns
• Supporting various projects and general tasks

WHO ARE YOU?

You are organized, creative, and able to maintain a good overview, even when multiple things are happening at once. You enjoy being both practical and creative, and you’re not afraid to take initiative.

We’re also looking for someone who:

• Is currently studying Event Management, Marketing/Media, Communication, Hospitality, or a related MBO/HBO education
• Is available from February until the end of June 2027
• Is available 4 to 5 days per week
• Is flexible and doesn’t mind occasionally working evenings or weekends during events
• Is fluent in both Dutch and English, both spoken and written
• Works independently, in a structured way, and takes initiative
• Is both creative and practical
• Can switch easily between different tasks and responsibilities
• Does not have a strict 9-to-5 mentality
• Has experience with content creation or social media (preferred)
• Has a driver’s license (preferred)

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

• A competitive internship compensation
• Lots of creative freedom and room for your own ideas
• Working within a small, close‑knit, and ambitious team
• A lot of responsibility and room to contribute ideas
• A unique behind‑the‑scenes experience in both events and marketing
• Learning opportunities in event management, branding, and social media
• Valuable connections within the events industry
• Guestlist access to Hemkade shows during your internship period
• A workplace in Zaandam, easily accessible by public transport

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

This is not a remote or on‑demand internship. We’re looking for someone who enjoys being part of the team on location and actively contributing during events and projects.

Our team is mainly Dutch, so some internal communication may happen in Dutch. Speaking Dutch is not required, but it’s important to know that the workplace is not fully English‑speaking at all times.
