Human Resources HR Internship (Remote)

***THIS APPLICATION NEEDS TO BE DONE ON A COMPUTER - IT WON'T WORK ON MOBILE. You must upload your resume***

Interning with us has been described as "unforgettable internship where I had a fantastic time."   We’re looking for an intern who wants to expand their skills and build their hands on HR experience - you’ll be helping us build out an HR function in the company.  We acquired a small company and have hired several people into the company since then.   We are putting in place the pieces to set the company up for even greater growth and to make the culture what we want it to be.   We are also working on acquiring more companies.  

We’re acquiring insurance agencies and the agency we just bought has little HR function and we need to build out the function not just for it, but so we're setup with a baseline as we continue to grow.   You'll be able to show a measure of where the company was before you started and when you finished from an HR/Talent perspective so you can point to demonstrable results in your resume and interviews for full-time roles. 

*This is intended to be a part-time role that allows you to put your experience and learning into action as it's needed in the business.  We're looking for 15-20 hours per week to allow you to really learn the talent management role from recruiting to onboarding and training.  
*This is an unpaid internship. 

Most companies wouldn’t give student interns anywhere close to the scope and responsibility that we will - many internships remain fairly theoretical, however, I’m confident in a smart student doing a great job and we can guide you along the way to success.  You'll report to the CEO.  The founders are both experienced investors, operators, and entrepreneurs who have complementary skills & experiences.  1 founder has a Harvard Business School case written on them and both have ~20 years of experience.

You struck a difficult chord of giving autonomy & guidance, it doesn’t get more real and important than this internship.  Dylan, Emory student

This is a part-time role with a flexible schedule but you are committed to the number of hours we agree on per week during daytime business hours Eastern time.    You're committing to communicate consistently and effectively with us every week as we work together.  

We need flexible, curious, smart, hard-working people who are interested in hands-on learning about company creation & growth, as well as propelling their career forward.

• Commitment/Dependability - you'll show up interested and engaged each week - we need to know we can count on you every week.  
• Communication - if you have an issue - sick, family emergency, work you’re doing with us taking longer than planned, etc. - communicate early 
• Quality/ownership - take pride in your work and ensure it’s done well, before saying it’s done

You won’t get rich from the time you invest in this internship (this is an unpaid internship) but you'll have a tremendous experience on your resume and to refer to in interviews, you’ll learn a lot and you'll have an opportunity for long-term mentorship - far more valuable than what you could earn in the same time:
