Corporate Responsibility Placement

Following the successful growth of our corporate internship programme, we are looking to hire an Intern within our Corporate Responsibility department. This is a brand new role that will support the activation and management of our corporate responsibility strategy for both our 500+ hotels and corporate operations across Europe, Middle East and Africa, for a 12 month period.

Hilton Work Perks

In addition to a competitive salary you will also receive a range of excellent benefits - probably the best of which is our Go Hilton Team Member Travel Program. This provides you with access to heavily reduced hotel room rates for you, your family & friends. Perfect for the holiday savvy intern!

In our Watford office you will also benefit from a subsidized canteen, free in- house gym and a games room. You will be part of a cohort of approximately 30 Interns who are spread across various departments, and will be involved in our unique intern programme. This includes monthly meetings and assignments which are designed to support your development.

A bit about the team

Through Travel with Purpose, Hilton’s corporate responsibility strategy, Hilton is on a mission to double social impact and cut environmental footprint in half by 2030. To achieve this, the Corporate Responsibility team is focused on collaborating and developing impactful strategies across the enterprise. This effort spans a wide spectrum, from waste reduction and responsible sourcing initiatives, to community volunteering and inclusive growth programs. Some recent examples include reducing single-use plastics in our hotel and corporate operations, supporting the hiring and training of refugees, and investing $200,000 in social and environmental impact projects.
