IT Intern, AI Projects

About Edge 

We're the fast-moving real estate company headquartered in Amsterdam with offices across Europe. And we're not just developing, redeveloping, and investing in properties, we're architecting the future where healthier, smarter, and more sustainable buildings are the norm, not the exception. We're the team that shows up in hard hats and leaves with game-changing spaces, because ordinary buildings are for ordinary companies, and we're definitely not ordinary. 

Our Company Values:  “We are Edge” 

Entrepreneurship; We take initiative, think creatively, and embrace smart risk-taking to create lasting value and drive innovation. 

Drive; We are ambitious, focused, and resilient, always pushing forward with energy and determination to achieve meaningful results and bring the extra 20% that nobody expects but everyone remembers. 

Grounded; We remain practical, humble, and authentic, guided by integrity and committed to what truly matters: trust, respect, and strong, long-term relationships. 

Excellence; We hold ourselves to the highest standards, continuously striving to improve and deliver outstanding quality in everything we do. 

Are you the kind of person who brings these values to life? 

What is amazing about this job? 

You will join the IT team at our Amsterdam headquarters, a small team that runs a fully cloud-native Microsoft environment for all Edge offices across Europe. Edge is putting AI to work across the organisation, from Microsoft Copilot and Claude for every colleague to purpose-built AI tools for specific teams. Colleagues come to us with more ideas than we can build. Your job is to turn those ideas into well-founded projects. A colleague tells you they want tool X to be able to do Y; you find out what they really need, work out how a solution would function and turn it into a first project document and business case that decides whether we go ahead. You will use Claude as your working partner throughout, from preparing and running intake meetings to drafting the documents. 

Responsibilities 

As an IT Intern you will work with the IT team on:  

• AI project intake: meet colleagues and teams across the business, using Claude to prepare, run and summarise intake meetings. Get from “I want tool X to do Y” to the actual problem worth solving. 
• Project document and business case: turn each request into an initial project document: scope, users, expected benefits, effort, cost and risks, ending in a clear go or no-go proposal to the Head of IT. 
• Solution logic: describe how a solution should work: the screens a user sees, the steps behind them and the data and rules that drive them, so the build team can pick it up without starting over. 
• Testing and feedback: test the solutions we build against the original request, together with the people who will use them. 
• AI adoption: help prepare AI workshops, showcases and short user guides so colleagues get the most out of the tools we provide. 
• Overall support: help the IT team with day-to-day questions from colleagues, including basic troubleshooting. 

Competences / Skills relevant for the role 

• Currently enrolled in the third or fourth year of an HBO programme in Business IT & Management, HBO-ICT, Business Administration (Bedrijfskunde), or a related field. The internship runs under an internship agreement with your school 
• Strong interest in AI and experience using tools such as Claude or ChatGPT in your studies or work 
• Hands-on mentality: you enjoy talking to people, asking the next question and getting things moving 
• Logical and analytical thinker: you can break a process down into steps, rules and data 
• Understanding of how a user interface ties into the logic and data behind it; you do not need to be a designer 
• Familiar with Microsoft 365; experience with Power Platform, low-code tools or scripting is a plus 
• Clear written and spoken communication in Dutch and English 
• Able to work independently, handle multiple projects and keep stakeholders informed 

What We Offer 

• An inspiring and dynamic work environment within an innovative international real estate company 
• Your own portfolio of AI projects, from first request to business case 
• Direct guidance from the Head of IT, and room to shape your internship or graduation assignment 
• Hands-on experience with a modern, cloud-native Microsoft environment and the latest AI tools 
• Room for personal growth and future career opportunities within Edge 
• An expense allowance (onkostenvergoeding) of € 500 per month
