As our People & Culture team continues to grow, we’re excited to welcome another Junior Coordinator (Intern) to help us maintain a workplace where people can truly thrive. This is more than an administrative role - it’s a chance to take what you’ve learned and apply it in a real-world, experiential setting where you’ll continue to grow and develop your HR skillset.

You’ll work closely with the Associate Vice President (AVP), People & Culture and the People & Talent Consultant, gaining hands-on exposure to a wide range of HR functions including recruitment, onboarding, employee engagement, and internal communications. You’ll also have the opportunity to shadow experienced team members, collaborate on meaningful projects, and contribute to initiatives that directly impact the employee experience.

This role is ideal for someone who is proactive, detail oriented, curious, and responsive. You bring a strong work ethic, a commitment to learning, and a genuine interest in people.

If you're looking to grow your career in HR and want to be part of a collaborative, high performing team that values initiative, creativity, and continuous improvement, this is the role for you.
