People Operations Intern - Remote

Who we are:

Payroll, workers' compensation and onboarding for every associate are handled by our back office. Phones ring nonstop on Monday mornings.

Overview:

The HR Team is small and growing. You will help onboard new joiners, update policies, run surveys and keep records clean. Remote, open to candidates across the UAE. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in.

What you'll do:

• Answer routine employee questions on leave balance and holidays over Slack.
• Support the payroll team with input sheets and document checks.
• Maintain employee records in the HRMS (Keka, Zoho People or BambooHR) and Google Sheets.
• Build simple HR dashboards in Excel: headcount, attrition, joining and exit trends.
• Track attendance and leave data and flag gaps to managers before the payroll cut-off.
• Run online engagement activities like virtual quizzes, birthday shoutouts and town hall polls.
• Prepare offer letters, appointment letters and experience letters from templates.
• Collect exit interview responses and summarise common reasons for leaving.

Who can apply:

• Eligible to work in the UAE.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2028.

• Ability to keep employee information confidential.
• Responsive on Slack or email during working hours.
• Laptop with MS Office or Google Workspace and stable internet.
• Basic understanding of HR functions from coursework: recruitment, onboarding, payroll, labour law.

What you get out of it:

• How onboarding, attendance and payroll inputs connect to each other.
• Day-to-day HR generalist work at a real company, not case studies.
• Certificate and letter of recommendation on completion.
• Exposure to employee engagement in a fully remote company.
