Internship Tech Strategy and Enterprise Architecture

ING operates internationally across Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, and parts of the Middle East. Wholesale Banking services are delivered in over 35 markets, and retail banking spans multiple European countries. This international presence leads to distributed teams, cross-country workflows, and technological systems that require global alignment.

The team

Tech Strategy and Enterprise Architecture functions as a global unit. The team works with counterparts in multiple countries, participating in global architecture management teams, and contributing to standards applied across ING Group. English is the standard working language for documentation, architectural guidance, and cross-regional collaboration.

Roles and responsibilities

Daily activities during the internship will consist of analytical, documentation focused, and research-support tasks related to AI adoption within ING. These activities revolve around understanding how AI appears in daily workflows and how employees interact with AI tools.

Activities include:

• Mapping selected AI-assisted workflows in collaboration with colleagues within Tech Strategy and Enterprise Architecture.
• Reviewing examples of friction or uncertainty in AI use.
• Collecting observations from teams using AI tools in different operational settings.
• Supporting preparation of presentations, internal summaries, and workshop materials that explain AI topics in simple and accessible terms.
• Documenting findings, structuring insights, and preparing materials that contribute to architectural and strategic discussions on AI.

These activities support the broader objectives of the department – translating complex technologies into clear concepts, analysing implications of AI for daily work, and contributing to strategic clarity.
