Intern - Human Resources

In a nutshell 

The People Team strives to revolutionize human resources in the same way that Picnic has shaken up grocery delivery. Our team supports over a thousand Picnic employees spread across three main locations: Amsterdam, Paris and Düsseldorf. As a People Intern your learning and development comes first: you will work closely with one of our People Partners who will introduce you to the fundamentals of what it means to support employees in a dynamic working environment! We value ownership, even in our most junior employees, and for this reason you will work on your very own projects - end-to-end. If you are ready to take on diverse challenges and see an internship as an opportunity to have a real impact on both your own development, and Picnic, then come join us!

Tricks of the trade

• Ownership: You’ll have full end-to-end ownership of an employee wellbeing project in the people team. You will start by understanding and analysing trends in our absence data, evaluating our processes and then translating that into meaningful improvements for our leads, employees and the people team. 
• Learn: You’ll shadow one of our People Partners and learn, learn, learn.
• Collaborate: You’ll participate and help out with various other People Team projects and supporting daily tasks.
• Support: You’ll support our HR processes (e.g., performance management, onboarding) on a day to day basis.
• Team: You’ll join all our People Team routines, processes, and events.
