# Internship at In The Pocket

- **Company:** In The Pocket
- **Location:** Belgium
- **Posted:** 2026-07-23

## Job description

We build cool stuff: products used by millions, banking software that has to work every time, AI tools that actually earn their hype. In The Pocket is where passionate, skilled people do that, in small autonomous teams that stay close to their clients and users, with the space to take ownership, speak up and grow.

We're taking on multiple interns this round, across different teams: Talent, IT, Design, Development, Marketing & Sales and Strategic Consulting among them. Whatever you're studying, wherever you land, minimum 12 weeks, based near Ghent, Leuven or Antwerp.

About us:

We're an independent European digital product studio with a strong track record of delivering market-defining strategies and products for enterprises and governments. With about 200 talented people across three countries, premium AI capabilities and a diverse portfolio of international clients, we define, design and ship high-quality digital products, strategies and software. From global cloud-based platforms and large-scale apps to medical devices, banking software and augmented reality experiences. In a nutshell: if it lives and breathes digital, it’s what we do best.

Who you are:

- You're a student with at least 12 weeks free, curious rather than comfortable and ready to build something real. It doesn't matter what you're studying, what background you come from or whether this is your first internship or your third. If you've got side projects, a portfolio, anything you've made, bring it. That tells us more than a CV ever could.

What to expect:

- Real work, not busywork. You'll sit inside an actual team, be that Talent, IT, Design or a client project squad, doing work that matters to that team, not a task invented to keep you busy.
- A mentor in your corner. Someone's assigned to guide you through the internship, and no question is too small to ask.
- Actual learning. Lunch talks, hackathons, conferences. We're constantly picking up new tech, and you're in the room for it.
- People worth hanging around. Afterworks, off-sites. The kind of team you'd want to spend time with even off the clock.

What do we value?:

Since culture is an essential part of ITP, we are looking for someone who shares our values:

- Ownership: Working at In The Pocket means accepting a high level of autonomy. You take ownership and show the ability to decide and act for the good of the company.
- Integrity: Stick to your values, even when it doesn’t pay off in the short term. In The Pocket relies on trust and openness, which in turn relies on your integrity.
- Lead & Educate: Digital technologies are changing the world. We go all in, head-first. We take the lead in designing and building with emerging technologies. We share our passion and knowledge with as many people as possible.
- Agility: In The Pocket is permanently under construction. We never settle, it’s never done. Observing, adapting and improving is in our nature. That resonates with the people who work here. We are always looking for a better solution, always ready for the next step, pragmatic and committed to move forward.
- Team: As individuals we are bright and talented, as a team we’re unbeatable. We are open and positive, constructive and honest. We help and inspire our colleagues to do their best work.
