Office Management & HR Intern | Fast growing scale-up at Monday Merch

Office Management & HR Intern

Are you ready to kickstart your career with a fast-growing company that's revolutionizing the merchandise industry? Join our dynamic team at Monday Merch in the heart of Rotterdam! We are looking for a versatile, proactive intern to bridge the gap between People Operations and Office Excellence.

In this dual role, you won't just be "observing", you will be the heartbeat of the office and a key player in building an HR department from the ground up.

The Role

As our Office Management & HR Intern, you will support day-to-day office and HR activities while helping create an engaging and positive employee experience. You will split your time between hands-on HR support and ensuring our beautiful Rotterdam office runs like a well-oiled machine. Along the way, you will gain exposure to the full 360° HR cycle, develop strong operational skills and discover how People Operations and office management work within a fast-growing scale-up.
