Ready to help shape how Smartwool & Icebreaker show up across Zalando, Amazon, and other digital platforms across EMEA?
Join our Digital Platforms team and support two purpose-led, merino-obsessed outdoor brands in growing their presence with key digital partners.

Contribute to the daily execution and long‑term evolution of our digital marketplace presence, helping us drive visibility, conversion, and brand excellence across key online partners. Support platform coordination, performance monitoring, and cross-functional collaboration to keep our digital ecosystem running smoothly.

Get ready to make an impact! Here’s what you’ll be responsible for as a Digital Platforms Intern:

• Coordinate daily activities across digital marketplaces and strategic accounts to keep launches, updates, and optimizations on track.

• Support initiatives to drive conversion by ensuring products, content, and campaigns land effectively across platforms.

• Develop and refine tools, trackers, and processes to help the team monitor performance and unlock new opportunities.

• Contribute to relationship‑building with both internal and external partners, helping strengthen collaboration.

• Bring fresh ideas to help expand Smartwool & Icebreaker’s presence across digital environments.

• Assist with additional projects within the Digital Platforms team as needed.

How you will make a difference

Skills that will make you succeed:

• You’re fluent in English and comfortable communicating clearly, with the ability to give context so others can easily follow your questions or updates.

• You have a solid grasp of Excel fundamentals, including filters, VLOOKUP (or XLOOKUP), pivot tables, and working with large raw datasets.

• You enjoy solving problems through data and aren’t afraid to dive into detailed spreadsheets or performance reports.

• You bring curiosity, initiative, and the drive to learn quickly in a dynamic, cross‑functional environment.

• Early experience through internships, projects, or extracurricular roles shows your ability to take ownership and follow through.

A degree is great, but we care most about your mindset, curiosity, and ability to work with data and people in a fast‑moving environment.

What’s in it for you

In this internship, you’ll discover how two global outdoor merino brands can complement each other in serving different consumers across diverse digital channels - and you’ll be right at the heart of it.

By the end of your internship, you can expect to have:

• A solid understanding of different digital business models (priorities being Zalando and Amazon, but not only) and how brands win within them.

• Experience reading and interpreting performance data to identify risks and opportunities.

• Confidence supporting cross-functional teams and digital partners.

• Hands-on insight into how we grow brand presence and conversion across multiple platforms.

• A deeper appreciation for the world of merino wool—and the values behind Smartwool & Icebreaker.

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:

• Dedicated skill-building workshops & internal consulting group project 
• One day of work in-store gaining real insights about our brands  
• 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.
