About the Internship

We’re looking for a motivated, people-focused Human Resources Intern who’s excited to learn how HR truly works behind the scenes, especially during a period of growth and change. Our organization is in an exciting phase as we bring multiple entities together, streamline processes, and build a consistent employee experience across the group. You’ll get a front-row seat to what it looks like to scale and shape HR foundations in a growing company, and you’ll play a real part in that work.

 

If you enjoy helping others, staying organized, and improving processes, you’ll fit right in. This internship offers hands-on experience across recruiting, onboarding, HR operations, and compliance, giving you a well-rounded look at what a career in HR can look like.

HR Operations & Administration (35%)
Support the day-to-day work that keeps HR running. You’ll:

  • Maintain digital employee files and support HR data accuracy
  • Assist with HR documentation, templates, and process improvements
  • Assist in optimizing the newly implemented HRIS by auditing data accuracy, testing and refining workflows, improving reporting functionality, and supporting ongoing system enhancements.
  • Support general employee inquiries with professionalism and confidentiality

Compliance & Policy Support (25%)
See how HR policies come to life and why they matter. You’ll:

  • Assist with policy updates, formatting, and version control
  • Help track compliance requirements, trainings, and acknowledgements
  • Learn how HR ensures consistency, fairness, and legal compliance across locations

 

What You’ll Learn

  • The full candidate and new-hire lifecycle
  • How HR operates during real organizational growth and integration
  • HR best practices, documentation, and compliance basics
  • Professional communication and relationship-building skills
  • Exposure to HR systems, tools, and process-building

 

You’ll receive mentorship, regular feedback, and the chance to shadow the HR Manager across different areas of the function.

 

Who You Are

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, or a related field
  • Strong communicator with a positive, professional attitude
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple tasks
  • Trustworthy with confidential information
  • Curious, collaborative, and eager to learn

 

No prior HR experience required, just a genuine interest in the field and a willingness to jump in and try new things.
