Job description

We grow food. And people. xFarm Technologies was born in the field - literally. Created by farmers for farmers, we are an independent tech company building the most comprehensive platform for the digitalisation of the agri-food sector. Today, 600,000+ farms across 16 million hectares in more than 100 countries rely on us every day to manage their business more efficiently and sustainably. Our platform is built around five pillars: Farm Management, Agronomy, Precision Farming, Connectivity, and Sustainability. Behind every great tech company, there is a great People team.

We are looking for a People & Organization Intern to join our P&O team in Milan and help us build the HR function of a fast-growing, purpose-driven, global agritech company. You will be hands-on from day one, working alongside a small, highly skilled team that runs the full spectrum of HR - from recruiting top talent globally to shaping how the company is organised and how its people thrive. We call this a Full-stack HR model: instead of being siloed in one area, you will get real exposure to all the key domains of a modern People function. If you are passionate about people, curious about tech, and ready to learn fast in a real-world environment - this is where you start your HR career.

What you will learn

Talent Acquisition

• End-to-end recruiting: writing job ads, defining selection criteria, managing our Applicant Tracking System (ATS), screening CVs, coordinating interviews, collecting feedback, and communicating with candidates throughout their journey
• Tracking recruiting KPIs and building pipeline dashboards to make data-driven decisions
• Designing a great candidate experience - because how we hire reflects who we are
• Planning and executing Employer Branding initiatives to attract the right talent
• Scouting innovative hiring solutions and AI-powered tools that are reshaping the industry

People Operations

• Supporting hiring, onboarding, and offboarding workflows end-to-end
• Maintaining and analysing employee data on our HRIS (HR Information System) and other digital platforms
• Headcount analysis and workforce planning across multiple geographies
• Drafting and communicating People policies adapted to different countries and legal frameworks
• Managing employee requests related to contracts, policies, and payroll
• Streamlining and automating tools and workflows using AI - yes, we actively experiment with it
• Supporting compliance monitoring across Health & Safety, GDPR, and labour law

Team & Culture

• Organising internal team-building and company-wide training events
• Contributing to cross-functional projects in a genuinely international environment

Who you are

• You have recently completed a Master's Degree - preferably in Economics, Business Administration, Management Engineering, Data Analysis, or Law - and you are eager to put theory into practice in a high-growth tech company.

Beyond the degree, what really matters to us:

• You are genuinely curious about how tech organisations work, and excited by the agritech world
• You have strong analytical skills and love diving deep into a problem
• You can process a lot of information quickly and learn on the fly
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
• You are a people person - empathetic, communicative, and a natural networker
• You bring energy, positivity, and a hands-on attitude to everything you do
• You are trustworthy and discreet when handling sensitive data and confidential information
• You are fluent in Italian and English (our working language is English)

It would be a bonus if you:

• Have any previous experience in HR, recruiting, or People processes that you found meaningful
• Already use AI tools in your daily work (ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI, and others)
• Have had some exposure to HRIS or ATS platforms
• Have a basic understanding of European or Brazilian labour law

What we offer

• 6-month internship - available as both curricular and extracurricular, compliant with Italian regulations
• €600 net/month internship allowance
• Hybrid working: 2 remote days per week after a successful onboarding phase
• A front-row seat inside a high-growth, impact-driven global company
• Real responsibilities and real learning - not just support tasks
• A small, welcoming team where your contribution genuinely matters
