HR Technology Intern (6 months)
Key facts
What you bring
We are looking for a Master’s student (or completing one) in a formal placement with either a technology/data background (e.g., information systems, data science, digital transformation, engineering) or an HR/organization background (e.g., HRM, work psychology, business administration). The ideal candidate should have a structured and analytical mindset, be comfortable with data and Excel, and be fluent in English. Experience with HR systems, APIs, SQL, or no-code/prototyping tools is a plus but not required. The role requires curiosity about how systems are built and the ability to work independently in a small team.
Your tasks
The intern will map the vendor landscape for cloud-native HR core systems, including smaller and younger vendors, against predefined criteria such as usability, modularity, AI integration, compliance, and security. They will support the Request for Information (RFI) process by drafting questionnaires with HR and ICT teams, collecting and structuring vendor responses, and building a comparison to inform the selection. The intern will also develop a proof of concept using sample TAP data with shortlisted solutions, documenting functionality, limitations, and setup effort. Additionally, they will map integration points for payroll, learning, reporting, and people processes, maintain a working document of findings, and present results to the HR team and Leadership Team. The role involves collaboration with the HR Director and interaction with ICT, Legal, and Procurement teams.
What they offer
The internship is a paid six-month project with a visible outcome, supervised by the HR Director. The intern will gain exposure to the entire HR team, ICT, Legal, and Procurement departments. The role is structured under a Swiss internship agreement with the candidate’s school and includes a reference detailing the work completed.
