People Operations Intern

We are looking for someone at the beginning of their professional career, with an interest in developing in People/HR.

For us, the most important things are:

• Curiosity and a great desire to learn.

• Be an organized, proactive person with attention to detail.

• Good communication skills and ability to deal with people.

• Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and ease in learning digital tools.

• Initiative to ask questions, propose ideas, and look for ways to do things better.

• Possibility of formalizing an internship agreement with a university or study center.

You have had some initial experience in a startup or in HR, you know tools like Factorial or ATS, you have notions of labor legislation, or you are particularly interested in process automation and improvement.

Extra points if...

Zenova is a Madrid-based tech scale-up that is revolutionizing the way large companies and real estate groups manage their energy. We are an all-in-one energy management software for large clients and we are in full growth mode.

We are looking to bring a People Operations Intern into our HR team.

The position begins with a 4-6 month internship, designed as a learning and development stage, with the goal that upon completion, and if there is a mutual fit, you can join the team as a Junior People Operations Specialist.

We don't expect you to arrive knowing everything. We are looking for a curious, organized, and proactive person, eager to learn how HR works from within a scale-up and to grow professionally with us.

You will be part of a small People team that is very close to the business, working directly with the HR Manager and with managers from all areas.

During the internship, you will have a very transversal view of HR: recruitment, onboarding, performance, data, processes, benefits, culture, and employee experience.

The first weeks will be focused on understanding Zenova, meeting the team, and familiarizing yourself with our tools and processes.

As you learn, you will begin to take on tasks and processes with greater autonomy, with the goal that by the end of the internship you are prepared to make the leap to a Junior position within the team.

• Support the day-to-day management of HR: registrations, terminations, documentation, and updating information in Factorial.

• Participate in onboarding and offboarding processes.

• Manage social benefits and collaborate on tasks related to OSH (Occupational Safety and Health) and personnel administration.

• Participate in recruitment processes: posting job offers, screening, contacting candidates, and coordinating interviews.

• Help keep our hiring processes organized and take care of the candidate experience.

• Support performance evaluation cycles and report preparation.

• Work with Excel/Google Sheets and Factorial to organize and analyze information.

• Help us identify processes that we can simplify or automate.

Your first weeks will be very focused on understanding Zenova.

You will learn how the company is structured, who does what, how the different teams work, and what the main people-related friction points are.

You will become familiar with Factorial, our recruitment, onboarding, performance, and People Operations processes, understanding what we already have automated and where we still have manual processes.

By the end of your first month, you should have a fairly complete view of how Zenova works, what our main people processes are, and where the opportunities for improvement lie.

From there, you will progressively begin to take on your own processes, detect inefficiencies, and propose improvements and automations.

If you want to start your career in People, you like working with people but also with processes and data, you are one of those who asks "how can we do this better?" and you want to learn from the inside how a scale-up grows, we want to meet you.

We are not looking for experience. We are looking for potential, curiosity, and a desire to learn. The rest we can build together.
