We're looking for a motivated HR Intern to join our People Operations team in San Francisco for Summer 2026.

### 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
