We're looking for a motivated HR Intern to join our People Operations team in San Francisco for Summer 2026. This is a hands-on internship where you'll work across the entire HR function — supporting onboarding, employee programs, workplace initiatives and a key HRIS migration initiative. You'll gain broad, real-world exposure to what it takes to build and scale HR operations at a fast-growing technology company.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Work across the full HR team, supporting onboarding, employee engagement, and people operations

• Play an active role in an HRIS migration — assisting with data audits, system testing, documentation, and change management support

• Help maintain HR systems and employee data for accuracy and compliance throughout the transition

• Assist with new hire onboarding — preparing materials, coordinating logistics, and ensuring a smooth Day 1 experience

• Support employee engagement initiatives, internal programs, and team events

• Assist in drafting HR communications and process documentation

• Research HR best practices and contribute ideas to improve people programs

WHO YOU ARE

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field

• Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail — especially important given the HRIS migration work

• Clear, professional written and verbal communication

• Comfortable working across multiple teams and managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment

• Proficiency in Google Workspace or Microsoft Office; familiarity with HRIS platforms (e.g., Rippling, Workday, BambooHR) is a plus

• Prior coursework or experience in HR, recruiting, or people operations is a plus
