Human Resource Intern

About the Role

Were looking for an HR Intern who loves people, events, and making things happen!

This isn’t a typical HR internship where you’ll just work on spreadsheets and documentation. You’ll be at the heart of our employee experience, helping create a workplace where people enjoy coming to work, participate in activities, and feel connected to the company.

From running fun games and employee engagement activities every day, to hosting our monthly Town Hall, managing engagement budgets, and building our employer brand online — you’ll get end-to-end ownership of some of the most visible HR initiatives.

If you’re someone who can confidently walk up to a group of people, grab a mic, host an event, get everyone involved, and make things happen — we’d love to meet you!

• What You’ll Own

Help us tell the Zocket story to the outside world.

You could be a great fit if you are:

• A Natural Host

• A Doer
  You don’t wait for someone to tell you every step. You take an idea and run with it.

We should talk.
