About the internship:

You will intern remotely with our team in São Paulo. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. A quiet workspace and good internet are required.

Your projects:

• Collect exit interview responses and summarise common reasons for leaving.
• Build simple HR dashboards in Excel: headcount, attrition, joining and exit trends.
• Support the payroll team with input sheets and document checks.
• Draft and update HR policies such as leave, remote work and reimbursement, for review by the HR manager.
• Track attendance and leave data and flag gaps to managers before the payroll cut-off.
• Maintain employee records in the HRMS (Keka, Zoho People or BambooHR) and Google Sheets.
• Prepare offer letters, appointment letters and experience letters from templates.

What we're looking for:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.

• Laptop with MS Office or Google Workspace and stable internet.
• Ability to keep employee information confidential.
• Organised and comfortable with routine documentation work.
• Clear written English for letters, emails and policy drafts.
