Job description

Short Intro and About the Job

What if your internship changes how a global health company connects with the people who shape patient care?

At Danone, we believe that nutrition is too often overlooked in healthcare and we're looking for a sharp and curious intern to join us in our mission to change that.

You don’t necessarily need a clinical background. But you will need to be someone who gets things done, thinks creatively, communicates well, is digitally fluent and genuinely excited to make a difference in healthcare.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Medical communications & activation: Support the development of innovative communication concepts that bring the value of medical nutrition to life for health professionals and other audiences. This includes researching what resonates in healthcare communications today, creating activation materials and contributing creative ideas for meaningful engagement.
• Medical affairs capabilities: Driving the deployment and adoption of an AI tool across global and local medical teams. This includes helping to translate teams’ needs into use cases for supporting medical and scientific engagements, and tracking the adoption, progress and value of the tool across teams.
