Logistics Operational Excellence Intern

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

The role: What's in the Box

You'll be joining our international Logistics Operational Excellence team, working across the Netherlands, Belgium, and France to support our Fleet Operations and keep our vehicles running efficiently and our operations scaling smoothly. 

Your focus will be on getting close to the operations — understanding what's happening on the ground across regions — and turning that insight into standardized processes, harmonized practices, and scalable improvements. Along the way, you'll dig into fleet performance data, spot bottlenecks, and help the team move closer to operational excellence. This is a hands-on role: you'll spend real time with the teams on the ground, understanding the operational reality behind the data — not just analyzing numbers from a distance. This is your chance to see how a fast-growing logistics operation runs day to day, while contributing directly to our strategy and goals.

What you’ll do: The Recipe

  • Investigate process bottlenecks alongside frontline and operational teams — analyzing fleet performance data and spending time understanding what is concretely happening on the ground, behind the numbers — to identify root causes and drive meaningful operational improvements
  • Partner with colleagues across the Netherlands, Belgium, and France to understand how local differences shape fleet management, identify opportunities for harmonization and standardization across markets, and — where relevant — propose and implement optimization initiatives and manual-work reduction under manager guidance
  • Document operational processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to capture cross-regional learnings, improve onboarding, knowledge sharing, and consistency across markets
  • Support the roll-out of best practices from one region to another, helping translate what works locally into solutions that scale across markets
  • Build and maintain performance dashboards and reporting tools in Google Sheets, and support small automations that cut down manual work
  • Contribute to ad-hoc reporting that feeds both operational and strategic decision-making
  • Collaborate with Fleet Coordinators, OEM partners, and suppliers to understand challenges and shape practical solutions

What you’ll bring: The Ingredients

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, or a related field (open to other backgrounds if you bring the right skills)
  • Comfortable working in Excel or Google Sheets; familiarity with SQL, Python, or Tableau is a plus but not required
  • Genuine interest in data-driven analysis and process improvement approaches (Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen)
  • Comfortable engaging directly with operational teams and getting into the field — this role requires both analytical skills and the ability to understand what is really happening on the ground
  • Clear communicator who can work well with stakeholders across different styles and backgrounds
  • Proactive and independent, comfortable taking ownership of tasks
  • Fluent in English; Dutch or French is a plus

Above all, we are looking for people who will make HelloFresh better. There are many different ways of developing skills, and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t “tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.

How we’ll get to know you: The Cooking Process

  • A video interview through Willo. You record your answers to a few questions in your own time, whenever suits you.
  • A short call with our recruiter. We get to know you and go over practical details such as your availability and internship requirements.
  • Interviews with the team, including a conversation with your future manager.

What we offer: The Toppings

Compensation & Financial Wellbeing

    • Enjoy 20% off HelloFresh and 40% off Factor_ subscriptions.
    • Access the "Benefits at Work" platform for discounts on brands like Nike, Bol.com, and IKEA. 
    • You'll receive a HelloFresh laptop.

Health & Wellbeing

    • Get discounts on ClassPass and gym memberships via Bedrijfsfitness Nederland, 
    • Free bootcamp classes

Flexibility & Work-Life

    • Benefit from a flexible hybrid work setup with a €2.45 daily remote work allowance.
    • You’ll get 10 days of leave, based on 40 hours per week
    • Full reimbursement for 2nd-class public transport to the office, and €0.23 per km for car/bicycle travel.

Career & Development

    • Access internal/external opportunities aligned with our Job Framework.

Culture & Environment

    • Enjoy fresh homemade lunches in the office (€3.00/day), weekly vrij-mi-bo (Friday drinks), quarterly strategy sessions, and team events.

If applicable, please upload documentation outlining your university’s internship requirements. This helps us check early on whether the internship fits what your programme expects, so there are no surprises later.

Accepted file types: pdf, doc, docx, txt, rtf

Many study programmes have specific requirements for an internship, beyond its length and start date. For example, a minimum number of hours per week, a certain share of your work focused on international markets, a set learning goal or assignment you need to complete, or a required level of supervision from the company.

This internship is mainly hands-on operational improvement, not data science. Most of your time goes into working with fleet and operational teams to understand what’s happening on the ground, documenting processes, and turning findings into practical improvements. You will work with data (mainly in Excel / Google Sheets), but there’s no building of statistical or predictive models.

As part of our interview process, Hello Fresh uses an AI-assisted notetaker within our recruiting system (Greenhouse) to record and transcribe interviews and to generate written summaries for the interview team.

What this means for you:
Your interview may be audio and video recorded.
AI will transcribe the interview and create a written summary to help interviewers with their notes.
The AI does not score, rate, rank, or decide anything about your candidacy. Our interviewers make all hiring decisions. The transcript and summary are used only to assist their review.
You may decline to be recorded. If you opt out, we will not use the AI notetaker for your interview, and your decision will not affect your candidacy.
To opt out, reply to this email or contact your recruiter before your interview. To ask a question, or to request deletion of your recording, transcript, or summary, contact your recruiter. We will delete those materials within 30 days of your request.

*HelloFresh uses an AI Notetaker. During your interview, the tool joins the video meeting, records and transcribes the audio, and generates a written summary.  The tool uses automated speech recognition to convert speech to text, and a generative AI model to summarize that transcript.

I have read the Interview Recording and AI Notetaker Notice. I understand my interview will be recorded, that AI will transcribe it and generate a summary to assist interviewers, and that I may opt out without affecting my candidacy.
