HR Internship: People Innovation & Experience

Join our People Innovation and Experience team as an HR Intern, where you'll have the chance to support key HR initiatives across learning, onboarding, leadership, and culture in a global organization. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience, collaborate with diverse teams, and contribute to innovative people strategies at a global organization.

Your role

• Support effective stakeholder management by working with various team leads—such as Learning Strategy, Onboarding, Leadership and Culture, Rewards, and Talent Acquisition Strategy—based on business priorities and your interests.
• Develop a strong understanding of business operations to provide meaningful insights and contribute to strategic HR initiatives.
• Assist with document management, ensuring accurate organization and maintenance of key HR materials and resources.
• Conduct root cause analysis to identify challenges and recommend actionable solutions to improve people processes and experiences.
• Perform research and data analysis to support HR projects and initiatives, contributing to informed decision-making.
• Utilize Microsoft Office tools to create presentations, track data, and manage project documentation effectively.

You're the right fit if

• You are currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Human Resources, Organizational Psychology, Business Administration, or a related field. You must be enrolled as a student for the duration of the internship.
• You’re curious about how global organizations shape employee experience, leadership, learning, and culture—and eager to contribute to that mission.
• You’re a self-starter who takes initiative, manages your time effectively, and can work independently while knowing when to seek guidance.
• You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to break down complex challenges and identify root causes.
• You communicate clearly and professionally, both in writing and in conversations, and are comfortable engaging with stakeholders at different levels.
• You’re detail-oriented and organized, especially when it comes to managing documentation and reporting.
• You’re proficient in Microsoft Office and open to learning new digital tools as needed.
• Previous internship or project experience in HR or related fields is a plus—but your motivation and willingness to learn matter most.
