Job description

Our client is Generali Asset Management (GenAM), part of the Generali Group, a large international player in the financial services and asset management industry. Operating in a dynamic and highly regulated environment, GenAM provides a broad range of active investment solutions across public and private markets, leveraging a strong investment heritage and a sophisticated platform supporting the entire asset management value chain.

Joining the Company means becoming part of a structured yet dynamic environment, where different functions work closely together and where people have the opportunity to gain exposure to an international business and develop a broad understanding of the asset management industry.

Responsibilities

We are looking for a motivated and curious HR Business Partner Intern to join the Human Resources team.

This internship is an opportunity to gain hands‑on experience across different areas of HR, working alongside experienced professionals and supporting activities throughout the employee lifecycle.

You will be involved in both recruitment and day‑to‑day HR activities, developing a practical understanding of how Human Resources supports employees, managers and the wider business in an international and fast‑paced organization.

What You’ll do

Working closely with senior members of the HR team, you will gradually take part in a variety of activities, including:

• Onboarding: contribute to the onboarding and induction of new employees, helping ensure a smooth employee experience from day one;
• HR Business Partnering: support the team in day‑to‑day activities related to employee management and the different stages of the employee lifecycle, contributing to broader HR initiatives based on business and organizational needs;
• Training & Development: support the organization and coordination of training activities, including course scheduling, participant management, and related follow-up;
• Employee Support: provide first‑level support in managing employee queries and requests;
• HR Administration: support employment contract management, contract amendments, and related documentation; maintain employee data and HR records; and assist with administrative processes and reporting, ensuring accuracy and compliance with local regulations and internal procedures.

The role will give you the opportunity to work across different areas of HR rather than focusing on a single specialization, while developing an understanding of how the HR function partners with the business and contributes to the wider organization.

In addition to the learning and development opportunities described above, the internship includes a monthly allowance of €800.

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who is eager to learn, comfortable working with different stakeholders, and interested in starting a career in Human Resources within an international financial environment.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint
• A genuine interest in Human Resources
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage different priorities
• Accuracy and attention to detail
• Good communication and interpersonal skills
• A proactive, hands‑on, and problem‑solving approach
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively as part of a team
• The ability to thrive in a dynamic and fast‑paced environment

What You’ll Gain

This internship will allow you to build a broad foundation in Human Resources, combining operational experience with exposure to HR Business Partnering activities.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Work closely with experienced HR professionals
• Gain broad, hands‑on exposure to HR, developing a well‑rounded understanding of the role and activities of an HR function
• Develop an understanding of HR processes within an international and structured organization
