THE WORK 

Hi (potential) master student! Are you looking for a challenging thesis internship where you also get introduced to the dynamic world of consultancy? Then we have the ultimate opportunity!  
 
The rise of agentic commerce marks one of the most profound innovations in how consumers discover and purchase products since the start of digital commerce itself.  
The Commerce team from Song focuses on accelerating these digital commerce journeys by leveraging new technology developments combined with deep industry knowledge. Due to your great interest in innovative technological developments and one or more of these digital focused domains, you will be effortlessly included within the team and quickly seen as a full member. Our driven analysts, architects, developers, creative managers and, of course, consultants are eager to take you by the hand for your first consultancy experience in addition to your thesis research. This ensures that you will have the opportunity to learn more about how we create value for our customers by using an AI-first, life-centric approach. In doing so, you will get your first hands-on consultancy experience while writing a master's thesis.  
 
Accenture Song’s Commerce team is looking for a thesis intern who wants to take part in our knowledge development within the fields of Marketing Technology, Generative/Agentic AI, E-Commerce, Customer Activation, Content platforms, and Sales solutions.
