165 open data & AI jobs in Amsterdam (in English, no Dutch needed) at employers that can sponsor: 27 state a salary (most stated salaries are between €5,650 and €8,950 a month gross), and 10 mention relocation or visa support in the posting itself. The most openings are at McKinsey (13), ABN AMRO (11) and Booking.com (9); there are also 46 postings in Dutch or asking for Dutch for the same search, not counted here. Related pages: sales jobs in Amsterdam (182), finance & accounting jobs in Amsterdam (177) and software engineering jobs in Amsterdam (168).
Being listed means the employer can sponsor, not that every role includes it; the relocation badge marks postings that say so. Every job links straight to the employer.
167 at the moment, every one from an employer on the IND Public Register of Recognised Sponsors. A job leaves this page when the employer takes the posting down.
Being on the register means an employer is allowed to sponsor a highly skilled migrant visa. Whether it does for a specific role is the employer's decision.
From 1 January 2026 the IND requires a gross monthly salary of €5,942 if you are 30 or older, €4,357 if you are under 30, and €3,122 for recent graduates of Dutch universities and orientation-year holders. Holiday allowance is not counted in these amounts.
Not for the jobs shown here: by default these are postings in English that do not ask for Dutch. If you speak Dutch, the listings in Dutch or asking for Dutch open up many more roles at the same sponsors.
