Internship in Corporate Strategy & Insights Management (f/m/d)

OTTO is one of the most successful e-commerce companies in Europe. With more than 18 million articles and more than 34,000 brands, otto.de is now one of the leading German online shopping platforms. As a marketplace, we are constantly opening up for other brands and partners and thus continue to grow. Relax? Not our thing! Not yours either? Then come to board and shape the future of e-commerce with us.

Diversity belongs to us, like the Elbe to Hamburg: We stand for openness, respect and tolerance, without If and But. Let's put the sails together – regardless of where you come from, who you love or what you believe in. Because you're unique and that's what we're looking for.

With us you can bring ideas and advance projects, engage in networks for your heart topic and actively shape our corporate culture. Trying things, thinking new, being innovative, growing beyond themselves – this is our mindset. Let's reach something big together. Whether you work on campus or at home. You too make OTTO your playground. In the Strategy and Insights Management teams, we work closely together as a strategist and analyst and give orientation to the organization with our work. We are responsible for the overarching strategy process and are Sparring partners of the specialist areas for their respective sub-strategies. In the strategy team, we are driving forward the implementation of our platform strategy throughout the house – based on appropriate consumers, market and competitive data that we have collected in insights management. So we look ahead, analyze strategic options for OTTO and develop recommendations for top management. We benefit from networking with our colleagues in the areas of innovation and sustainability. Many speak of “Homeoffice” – we of “hybrid or mobile work”: We live a hybrid working model with at least 50% presence and are usually on campus as a team from Tuesday to Thursday.

From the first day, you are part of the cross-functional teams and get deep insights into strategy development at a leading e-commerce player. In the course of the internship, there is the possibility to step deeper into one of the two activities and to further develop your analytical and strategic skills through exciting projects: You research and prepare relevant market, trend and competitive analyses for relevant stakeholders. You participate in the development of corporate and sub-strategic strategies in cross-departmental teams. For example, we are working on positioning OTTO, product range strategies or the OTTO's own target system. You'll set up strategic decision templates for top management or content for strategy communication in the house. You moderate (virtual) team routines and project meetings.
