People ops Intern

Your Challenge

Join our fast-growing 🚀 tech company that is redefining the future of connecting skills and work globally! At blackbear, you will impact the way work is outsourced by companies while being part of an ambitious, hardworking pack of bears. Are you ready to pull out your claws as a People Operations Intern?

About the team

You’ll join the People & Culture Team, known as the heart 💙 of blackbear. Our small but ambitious team is a strategic partner that empowers our pack by creating a safe and engaging company culture. It's our mission to create an awesome environment for our current and future employees, or bears as we like to call them.

You will work directly alongside our Head of People & Culture, Aniek and our People Business Partner, Caroline, who will teach you all there is to know about People (HR), building a culture, and empowering our pack.

We are a fast growing organisation and our team constantly innovates, optimises and finetunes all people-related processes, making our team a very dynamic, challenging, but mostly fun environment to develop yourself in.

What you will learn

We have many goals and ambitions in the People team and always have a lot of projects running simultaneously.

For us, it’s important that you can participate in those projects that interest you; it is up to you to make your internship awesome!

Next to this, you will:

• Be a first point of contact; our bears always know where to find you.
• Help us in creating a great working environment by constantly optimising it.
• Experience all parts of People Administration.
• Support us in recruitment.
• Assisting in improving and implementing employment policies and processes.
• Working on continuously improving the onboarding- and offboarding flows.
• Contribute to the employee experience by working on projects that truly interest you (How about continuing to build our culture, or expand on our employer branding? The possibilities are endless).
• You facilitate, empower, and collaborate with our bears to organise the best events.
• Office Management; you are in charge to ensure everything is managed and runs smoothly together with the other interns.
• Supporting other departments such as Community Management and Marketing with sourcing and employer branding.

What you will bring

Aside from the blackbear mindset we need you to bring the following skills and knowledge to strengthen our pack:

• You are currently studying Business, HRM, Schroevers, Hospitality Management or similar studies, at least at hbo level.
• You are service-oriented and naturally connect with people.
• You have basic knowledge about People/HR, and some previous working experience in People/HR is a plus.
• You have a true interest in People/HR.
• You are fluent in English, Dutch is a plus.
• You are available for a 5- to 6-month internship preferably from 21 August 2023 onwards, for at least 4 days per week.
• You are located in The Netherlands.

What’s in it for you?

You will start together with several other interns. We truly value our interns at blackbear, we work with passion towards our goals and you are key in reaching those.

You will receive an internship compensation of 400 EUR based on a full-time internship, paid vacation days, and a work laptop. Our team will guide you and make sure you learn all you can during your internship.

Together with your assigned mentor you can decide on your learning objectives and work on your school-related projects.

At the office, we provide healthy lunches, and we love to party. Our Friday afternoon drinks and bear events are legendary! We believe in having a fun, hardworking and passionate team that celebrates all successes, big or small.

Little bear about us 🐻

A typical bear is open, unique, people-oriented, and passionate. We offer companies the digital solution to output-driven outsourcing. With our product, we enable Solvers to generate an income remotely. We guarantee companies that our Solvers deliver a high-quality result on their projects and motivate this by paying Solvers for delivered output, instead of hours worked.

We have a beautiful, large office where we love meeting each other, but hybrid working is definitely an option within blackbear.

Having such an ambitious and adaptable team of colleagues means that there is always a great internal project to work on or a process to improve. We offer you the opportunity to create a meaningful impact on what blackbear will become over the next few years.

All our bears work with complete passion and dedication towards reaching the same goal: To turn blackbear into the most awesome product in the world. Together we'll make it happen. By working hard and celebrating our successes we will turn blackbear into the go-to solution for hassle-free outsourcing on a global scale - that's the blackbear mindset.
