  • Support day-to-day HR operations, including data entry, filing, and documentation in our HRIS system
  • Assist with benefits administration tasks and help prepare materials for open enrollment or renewal projects
  • Help coordinate employee experience initiatives and company events or outings
  • Draft and proofread internal communications (emails, announcements, intranet posts)
  • Organize and maintain HR files, trackers, and shared documents
  • Research best practices on assigned HR topics and summarize findings for the team
  • Provide general administrative support to HR team members
  • Participate in team meetings and take notes/action items as needed
  • Research ways to enhancement and automate HR processes with AI
  • Complete a short capstone project or presentation at the end of the internship, summarizing your work and key takeaways
Qualifications

What We're Looking For

  • Currently enrolled in a college or university program (any year), pursuing a degree in HR, Business, Psychology, Communications, or a related field
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Comfortable with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
  • Knowledge of AI tools like Claude, Copilot or ChatGPT
  • Detail-oriented with good organizational skills
  • Ability to handle sensitive/confidential information with discretion
  • Positive attitude, curiosity, and eagerness to learn
  • No prior HR experience necessary — this is an entry-level, learning-focused role

What You'll Gain

  • Exposure to multiple functions within a corporate HR department
  • Mentorship from experienced HR professionals
  • Real project work you can speak to in future interviews
  • A behind-the-scenes look at how HR supports a global organization
  • Networking opportunities across departments

Details

  • Schedule: 40 hours/week for 8 weeks (exact schedule flexible based on candidate availability and manager preference)
