As our HR Intern, you'll support meaningful, people first projects that sit at the heart of how we work, grow, and build a values led business.

This isn't your typical admin internship - you'll contribute to live, high impact initiatives, working closely with the People Partner on the processes and experiences that drive a thriving company culture.

• Assist in updating our salary benchmarking data across departments and markets
• Conduct market research to support equitable and scalable compensation planning

• You have a keen eye for detail and enjoy working with both people and systems (spreadsheets, docs, comms)
• Passionate about fairness, inclusion, and building a workplace where people thrive
• You might be studying HR, psychology, business, sociology, or something completely different - what matters is your attitude and interest in learning

• Growth Mindset: Embraces challenges as opportunities, bouncing back stronger from every setback. There is nothing you can't do if you apply yourself fully.
