At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), we don’t just imagine the future - we build it. From powering Europe’s largest AI supercomputer to delivering breakthrough technology solutions, we’re redefining what’s possible. As an HPE intern, you’ll collaborate with brilliant minds, gain hands-on experience, and make an impact that goes beyond your role - because here, you’re not just starting your career, you’re shaping the future.

In a Business Intern role, you will join one of our HPE Sales teams, contributing to projects that build the future - one big idea at a time. This is an excellent opportunity for a self-motivated and proactive individual to support the vital work of organizations and help us drive success.

You’ll be surrounded by passionate people, learn from inspiring mentors, and be part of a company that values your development every step of the way.

Successful sales professionals draw on a diverse range of skills, many of which are developed through education, personal experiences and interests beyond the workplace. An internship with HPE offers an opportunity to apply and strengthen these transferable skills in a dynamic, professional environment. Whether your background is in Finance, Marketing, Business, Strategy or an entirely different discipline, you'll discover how your unique perspectives and capabilities can contribute to success in a global technology organisation.
