Who we’re looking for
We are looking for a motivated intern to join our People & Culture team in Luxembourg for a six-month internship.
This is a broad HR generalist internship providing exposure to different aspects of the employee lifecycle and the day-to-day work of a local People & Culture function. Working closely with the local HR Business Partner and wider HR colleagues, you will support employees and managers while contributing to the smooth delivery of local HR activities.
Alongside generalist HR responsibilities, you will have the opportunity to contribute to local projects designed to improve how we work. These will include supporting the digitalisation and organisation of employee files, identifying simpler and more effective ways of working, and helping coordinate the delivery of local learning sessions.
The internship is designed to provide hands-on experience across both HR operations and employee-facing activities, while giving you the opportunity to take ownership of defined projects and improvements.
