Paid Internship Opportunity: Join Greenpeace International as a People & Culture Insights Intern

Job description

Are you a People Analyst in the making? Do you combine interest in the Human Resources functions with an analytical mindset and a knack for statistical analysis? This might just be the perfect opportunity for you!

The People & Culture department of Greenpeace International is offering a paid internship opportunity for a student or recent graduate who wants to support its People & Culture Insights work. Greenpeace is looking for someone who is available to join them from towards the end of January, 2025, for a period of six months.

The People & Culture Insights Intern will be working in a distributed team of experienced HR specialists, supporting the function in the department as well as the global Greenpeace network. The People & Culture Insights Intern will be working 60% to 80% of their time with the P&C insights function, and the rest of their time with the Wellbeing & Engagement function, on projects with a people analytics focus.

Your main project will be to support the annual workforce report in all its aspects – data collection, data cleaning, analysis, reporting and dashboarding, and data archiving. Other projects you will support will include the upkeep of our knowledge management tool, and various wellbeing and engagement initiatives through the use of a data informed approach.

Essential Skills / Qualifications:

Recent degree in Business Administration, Psychology, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Demonstrable knowledge and interest in HR and People Analytics, with a desire to further develop skills
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel; familiarity with dashboarding tools and SQL is a plus.
Basic understanding of statistical tools and data analysis.

Strong English communication skills, both written and verbal.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a global, remote environment.

What Greenpeace is looking for:

Remember no one has every skill or experience needed for this role and you’ll have the opportunity to learn a lot from the team. Greenpeace believes someone who has a few of these is well suited to exceed in this role:

Analytical Skills: Ability to evaluate and interpret data to support HR insights.
Attention to Detail: Highly organised and accurate, especially in data cleaning and processing.
Team-Oriented: Able to work cooperatively with other team members, including virtual collaboration.

Independent Researcher: Can analyse data autonomously and communicate key findings effectively.
Adaptable and Eager to Learn: Open to developing new skills, taking on feedback, and applying it constructively.
Accountable: Takes ownership of tasks and maintains confidentiality with sensitive information.

Proactive and Initiative-Taker: Willing to explore new solutions, seek feedback, and manage challenges effectively.
Digital literacy skills: The ability to learn and utilise our digital platforms to successfully perform the role function (familiarity with G-Suite, Slack and Zoom is an advantage)
Demonstrable support for and belief in the Greenpeace network core aims and values.

Job requirements

The internship is a full-time position (40 hours per week) for a period of six months. Ideally, Greenpeace is looking for an intern to start in early 2025. Interns receive 800 euros net as a monthly stipend. As of the time of this advert, Greenpeace office in Amsterdam is open and the internship can be a combination of virtual and in-person from the GPI office.

It is a unique chance to experience working in a large not-for-profit international organisation. You will experience the complexities of working in an international environment and develop your understanding of the differences in HR operations and best practices around the globe. This internship will expand your knowledge of managing HR data in an international context.

You will receive real experience in managing datasets, data cleaning, data processing and analysis. You will learn how to use dashboarding tools and how to share your findings effectively. You will have the chance to familiarise yourself with SQL and use it in practice.

The internship will include weekly mentorship from senior member(s) of staff. You will have the opportunity to develop in your preferred area of expertise (to be discussed further with intern). Greenpeace will also support you in building your network, and help you in preparing for your next steps after the internship.

You’ll be encouraged to develop both personally and professionally, taking advantage of the wide range of learning and development opportunities available to its staff. Staff can also access Greenpeace online initiatives, such as mindfulness among other wellbeing offerings, and also have the opportunity to join its global Equity, Diversity & Inclusion staff communities.
