People Operations Intern
As the People Operations Intern, you will provide support to the People Operations team in various areas of culture and talent management. We expect you to collect, compile, and analyse human resource data, metrics, and statistics, and apply this data to make recommendations related but not limited to recruitment, retention, and legal compliance.
This internship is designed to provide practical experience and exposure to a range of HR functions, including recruitment, onboarding, employee engagement, performance management, and administration. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with team members to assist in the implementation of people operations programmes and initiatives that support the organisation's goals and values.
- Spurt! is a talent network of professionals keen to collaborate with African entrepreneurs to build more efficient, more productive, and strategic businesses. Our practice is focused on deployments of technology, human-centred design thinking, and data analytics for business growth and expansion.
- Spurt! was founded to develop local companies into regional and global giants. Local companies struggle to scale due to bureaucracy, inaccessible financing, organisational challenges, and sub-Saharan Africa’s geopolitical conditions.
- Our objective is to catalyse and support the growth of large local companies with sufficient scale and capacity to add value locally and regionally. Through our four arms, Paperclip, Solutions, MadeIn! and SpurtX! we develop data driven technology solutions, strategic advisory, research, implementation support and stakeholder management services.
