People Business Partner - Curricular Internship (6 months)

You are about to start a hands-on experience within the People Business Partner team, where you will discover how people management supports business performance in a global organization. In this curricular internship, you will work closely with HR and business stakeholders, gaining exposure to the full employee life cycle and contributing to key HR processes.
You will have the opportunity to join one of two areas: you can support the People Business Partner team dedicated to Commercial functions, working alongside Marketing and Sales teams, or you can join the Industrial People Business Partner team, supporting the HR activities within the Alba plant and its operational environment. In both paths, you will experience how HR acts as a strategic partner to the business, while also managing daily operational activities.

You will be involved in the full life cycle recruitment process, supporting activities such as candidate screening, interview scheduling and direct interaction with candidates, especially for high-volume and seasonal hiring. You will contribute to day-by-day HR operations, including administrative tasks and coordination with different stakeholders such as Talent, Administration and external partners.
You will work closely with the HR team and interact with all Centers of Expertise, gaining a broad understanding of HR processes and tools. You will support the preparation and analysis of HR reports and dashboards, collecting and monitoring key people metrics to help guide decision-making.
You will also contribute to ongoing HR projects, including Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, Employer Branding and Talent Management activities. Depending on your assigned area, you will support either commercial functions like Sales and Marketing or the industrial environment, where you will collaborate on workforce planning, onboarding and coordination activities for both blue-collar and white-collar populations.
Throughout the experience, you will assist in various phases of the employee life cycle, gaining practical exposure to how HR processes are implemented in a dynamic and complex organization.

You bring curiosity, energy and a strong willingness to learn by doing, with a genuine interest in people management and HR processes. You are currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Human Resources, Business, Economics, Psychology or a related field, and you are motivated to apply your academic knowledge in a real business environment.
You bring a proactive and flexible mindset, and you are comfortable handling both operational and analytical tasks, from managing data in Excel to interacting with candidates and internal stakeholders. 
You bring strong interpersonal skills and enjoy building relationships, working effectively in a team and navigating different contexts, from corporate functions to industrial environments. Your critical thinking and organizational skills allow you to manage multiple activities and priorities with attention to detail.
You bring a good knowledge of Microsoft Office, especially Excel and PowerPoint, and you are fluent in Italian and English; knowledge of additional European languages is a plus.
If you are ready to start your journey in HR and want to experience what it means to be a People Business Partner in a global organization, apply now and join us in shaping the future of people and business together.
